Very freezing cold today. We didn’t want to work any horses, just chorin’. Meg and I watched some theory videos. One was about teaching the forward down. The video broke this up into 5 parts - Kenneth Vansweevelt
Straightness
Equal use/activity of all limbs
Direction of outside front leg
Forward of inside hind
Feeling hands
We also got to see some shorter videos on the teeth, ears and ribs from a bodyworker who did dissections of the latter two. Everything is connected, and the horse should go forward and straight.
