I think this is an excellent article, but the whole exercise will be frustrating to a green horse. If you are a novice rider on a green horse (which happens when you can't afford a made horse) - take baby steps with this exercise so that neither you nor your horse gets frustrated. Set a small goal, accomplish it, pat your horse, say "good boy/girl" and move on to something more familiar. Next outing, add another movement, etc., etc...
I just discovered your website and am SO excited to explore it. I would be even more thrilled if you offered some kind of podcast, or at least a few audio recordings of the articles you have on the site. I cannot, of course, surf the internet at work, but I do listen to audio. I'd love to be feeding horsey-information into my brain all day! Thanks
Wow... I need that book. Always seems like when I'm on my own with no direction I'm at a loss what to work on. My mind goes blank, even after all the lessons I've had. I just need to keep that book on the rail and start with page 1! Great exercises with minimal equipment.
I have worked on a few exercises in the book with my best friend and it works! I need to get the book myself!!! =D And it's simple exercises to really make you a better rider and go well with your horse in the saddle! ^_^
