The beauty in classical work is the improvement of the horse and rider in connection of mind to body. No matter the breed, no matter the discipline… classical training only seeks to continually improve through continuous building up of the foundation of a horse’s potential with a rider.
I am so incredibly proud of just how far Flo Shmo and her horse Sarge have come in their lessons. Almost two months in and we are now seeing glimpses of his ability as a true sport horse. In unlocking his body and building him up to help him truly be able to lift his rider, he is starting to tap into his power and put his former race horse engine to work in a different way!
Can you follow the sequence of the first three images and what they were working on?
And I just had to add a comparison of where they started in their first lesson to their most recent lesson because 😍 (and yes I know he is btv, that is something that is being worked on and he hardly goes there anymore but I wanted as similar of a pic for both the before and after for comparison sake 🙃)
