.....for me, that is. I had time for a short session in the stable with Anky this morning, but had to wait until this evening to take her up to the school.
We started in-hand, asking for the release and the stretch down, slight flexion inside and then transition to walk.
We were suddenly doing it, our first (albeit very basic) tension free, relaxed work in-hand. A light vibration on the inside rein to ask for the flexion and as she released, she also took the rein down. The more we did, the more she seemed to want to stretch. I felt a real connection, I imagined her sigh of relief that mum had finally 'got it'.
Of course, it was there all the time, I just had to find it. It's a start.
