A few weeks ago I was teaching in Minnesota. I wanted to help Christy build a stronger connection and conversation with her lovely mare, Tanzi. So I decided to ask Christy to work Tanzi over some poles. But not your usual pattern of poles that most people are familiar with.
A lot is going on in this 2min clip. Watch how quiet, but clear Christy applies her feel. Notice how focused and calm Tanzi is - even when she trips. See how strong the connection is between the two and how alive is their conversation. Each of them is asking a question and giving an answer every moment. It’s lovely to watch. Ya gotta love a horse that tries this much.
