Why do so many serious dressage riders I know dare not take their horse on a trail? Is it because those horses do not have the makeup to be safe on a trail?
Problems with a horse are not fixed because we want them fixed it. For things to change with our horse it must begin with things changing with how we work with our horse.
…. in the end, we are using our best guesses to help our horses. You should avoid anyone who tells you “I know” with unqualified certainty. They don’t.
I have sometimes been accused of overthinking things. I plead guilty. But on this occasion, I want to encourage you to do the overthinking. I’ve got some questions and I really want to know your thoughts.
