If you can- do it.
If you can't- try again (and again).

I love this video, and horse and rider!
When we started working together backing up was a huge challenge.
Beauty (the mare in the video) was so afraid of the bit and lacked confidence in the riders body and hands to top all that she did have some sticky spots we worked on.
Backing up 1 step without had throwing, ears back, pulling, kicking and all the works was a huge accomplishment.
NOW we can park her fancy butt in reverse and that is HUGE.
We didn't force it, just tried, different things and did a little bit- a lot. Like #rayhunt said.
Message is; never quit trying. You'll get there.
And of course, don't be afraid of changing things and figuring out a new way.

Today is Rosh Hashanah- which is the Jewish new year and the first holiday of the season.
It is always fun celebrating my birth day so close to the new year and school year, it emphasizes the symbolic meaning of a fresh new year and another chapter to this book called life.
May this year be great to us all and will bring joy and love to everyone. May we all continue to smile, laugh and cherish every moment of happiness and our love ones.
I wish you all a sweet, yet challenging and fulfilling year and Shanahan Tova🦄

One step at a time, and then, all of a sudden you're running.

Desensitizing for me, is not about making the horse non-responsive it is about creating confidence and getting the horse to look for us at times of uncertainty.

In addition we always want to make sure that we don't over do it and cross the line between effective to boring.
