Here are some impressions of the progress of our clients Warmblood mare Quandeli. Our in hand riding work is highly important, as we can establish trust into the ridden aids before sitting on the horse. We can ask the horse to balance itself before we add our weight on top. We always start this with a bitless bridle first, in this case on a cavesson, so we do not 'ruin' the sensitivity of the mouth in these first balancing stages. Yesterday and today we checked if our preparation work for mounting her for the very first time was good enough- and yes: our spontaneously rescued volunteer from the side of the road, could mount her and we walked around a little. She could not have been any more relaxed than this. Absolutely chilled and trusting into the progress.
