β¨Now or never β¨ The best horse
teacher I've had in my life. He has had a hard time in
his 11 years of age. From lots of different owners to
health problems, it was very obvious that he was
struggling. When we started he knew only 2 speeds:
long rein walk or uncontrollable canter around the
arena. From the moment I saw him, I fell in love.
Months later, when the owner asked me desperatly in a
joking way : 'Lucie, Project??' I was SO exited to take
the chance. I am SO glad that I did!! We are learning
so much from each other and when we are in full
connection, (again thanks to the Irwin Insights
method!!), it's the best feeling in the world. Words can't
express what this horse brings in to my life.
I'm pretty sure that's horse language for 'I love you too' π₯° This is such a special horse.
π³π± Van cowboy naar dressuurruiter! π Marcel reed buiten met zijn gereformeerde dressuurpaard voordat hij bij mij startte. Lou Lou heeft lichte artrotse en hij wilde haar goed leren rijden zodat ze gezond oud kon worden. Wat een mooie transformatie is dit geweest! We hebben in kleine stapjes gewerkt, eerst met grondwerk en daarna met rijden. De grootste verbetering is zijn zit, zoals te zien is in de draf. Echt cool!!!
π¬π§ From cowboy to dressage rider! π Marcel had been hacking out with his reformed dressage horse before he started to take lessons with me. Lou Lou has a little arthritis and he wanted to learn to ride her well so she could become old healthily. What a safysting transformation this has been! We worked in small steps, first through groundwork and then riding. The biggest transformation has been his seat, as you can see in the trot. Pretty cool!!
I love my job so much it hurts! π
I keep getting more clients that want to learn the art of long lining... That's why I took 2 lessons with Chris Irwin to refine my skills, it was so much fun! In the video we are practicing half halting - counter bend turns and fluid bend changes, it's a challenging exercise.. π
The wintertime is the perfect time get creative, learn new skills and have some fun with it π₯°
