What a soft feel is, to me...
When I lift the reins and the energy comes through the body up the spine and down the legs to his feet; not one step at a time but instantly.
Only one way to get there. It can’t be pushed. If it has been pushed into the horse to ‘get there sooner’, then all those muscles, tendons and nerves are guarded—tense, even, from the fear of doing the wrong thing.
Fear is a very prevalent emotion in the horse. It’s as vital to him as flight itself because it’s the emotion that tells them to save themselves. When these muscles are tense, they will never respond as readily as if they are confident.
Confidence in the rider, brings on confidence in the horse. It enables the horse to use the thought process easily. Then it becomes easier for the horse to think his way through things for you.
Knowing this , we must introduce our direction to the horse and wait for the reaction from the feet. Then the horse realizes what we expect of him. When we are slow and confident in our requests of him, even methodical, the horse will confidently increase his reaction time and then we can ask for more speed.
When the horse knows what is expected of him and responds on the feel of your ‘lift’ it goes straight to the feet.
Soft feel.

Good footing is everything! Sure our old harrow did the trick…but now we can control the depth, consistency, eliminate compaction, add cushion and level all at the same time! Now THAT’S a harrow 💪🏼https://www.abiattachments.com/product/tr3-eseries-arena-drag/
