This is explained so well!!πŸ‘β€οΈ

"So every animal, and people too, are continually losing -- and then regaining -- their balance with every step they take.

First they tilt one way, then they tilt the other; but in between those left and right tilts, they must pass through the middle, which is the point of perfect equilibrium or balance.

Thus, the problem that your horse is having is not that she loses her balance; it's that she loses it and then cannot regain it.

Two factors make it particularly difficult for horses to regain their balance: they are going too fast, and they are stiff."

Recently, I was struck anew by the gift Dr Bennett has for making things clear and easy to understand.

For the rest, click on the link below and read the forum member's question about her mare and the ensuing discussion.

I posted a little quote to grab your attention but the depth of information and the logic with which it is presented is well worth your time.

I first shared this in....2010! And it does not get old.

I made good use of my time the last few days of school this week. After today I'll have my trail riding buddy with me. πŸ₯°β€οΈπŸ₯° I'm thankful for both the quiet time and my adorable companion.

This is such fantastic advice. ❀️

At clinics, rarely do I get to help people with advanced work (even if they think they are ready for it) because usually the basics are β€œok”. When you try to build advanced movements out of β€œok” basics you end up with trouble in that movement.

Basics are hard, mostly because they can seem ok, but it’s the details that matter.

I was recently chatting with a friend who is an Olympic showjumping coach. He has competed at 3 Olympic Games and has coached his National team at 3 others.

I said to him β€œ you do lots of clinics around the world, do you ever run into people that can jump say, a metre, but want to jump higher, but in order to jump higher you have to take them back to the start, back to ground rails ?”

β€œAll the time”, he said. β€œI rarely encounter anyone who wants to jump higher and is ready for it.”

Once you get the basics really good, the β€œhard” things are actually easy. It sounds completely backwards to most people, but once you get your head around it, the game changes completely.

My big brave boy walked into the water ON HIS OWN, no lead horse. Good job buddy! He's pretty proud of himself. πŸ’ͺπŸ’¦β€οΈ
