So my Dancing with Horses book arrived on Tuesday, and it's great, it's beautiful and so well laid out, and really, really quite an inspiring book to read and enjoy and makes me think that my goals for myself and Shadow are achievable, with perserverance, patience and being happy along the way. Riding collected on a loose rein. Riding in a halter and rope, would be my dream, eventually we will achieve this. It won't take months, but take us years to develop our relationship and trust. When I've finished the whole book, I'll post my review on it to here as well as Amazon.
Gemma gave me her old new ( if that makes sense) Cavesson bridle, it's beautiful, Cob size and will use it for Shadow to wear with his Snaffle tomorrow. My boy was so good the other day on the lunge for me, and it ended on a high. Eventually we'll be doing free lunging with a rope. One day....
It's funny how inspiring and thought provoking words can be. Which is also another thing, how our body language is a word, sentence, paragraph to our horses- how every movement and gesture we make is horse language. So we have to 'learn the lingo' and speak horse. We have to learn that, not the horse has to learn human ( even I struggle with that!!!).
The horse is really a magnificent animal. Beautiful. Pure and powerful.
