If the horse doesn’t display self-carriage, freedom of movement (within his genetic ability) and visible enjoyment when performing the exercises, then the Art is surely only happening in the deluded mind of the rider. http://www.goinggaited.com/DRESSAGEISASTATEOFTHEHEARTPG1.html I thought you might enjoy this article... _________________ Carol Nudell Corazon de Oro Paso Finos "The path to your horse's heart lies through your own."
