Got my Covid booster today, so I took it pretty easy with work.

I had a groundwork lesson with Karl that was super. Meg’s academic work on the ground is typically done facing the horse and walking backwards. When we started lessons, we tried this with Karl but he was very pushy and mouthy with my hand close to his nose. So we stepped back and did liberty and work from the side of the body.

Today we went back to facing him and walking backwards and it was like night and day! I was able to connect with him and influence his body, keep him from pushing and find some suppleness.
