Longing is not something I typically reach for, but it was nice to watch him get that awkward canter out of the way without me on his back, and certainly helped him warm up quicker.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-53490541821334173162017-09-20T10:21:09.913-04:002017-09-20T10:21:09.913-04:00Yeah!

I think people feel that longe I got and Long-lining is a step backwards. But I always see it as a step forwards. <br /><br />Whenever I find myself an an impasse, I go back to the ground. When I add something new, I want them to be able to do it without me on them FIRST. <br /><br />I want them to do something well without having to balance a human on them first. And sometimes the first few transitions can be a bit sloppier as they work out a few muscles and remember how to be soft after 24 or 48+ hours off. <br /><br />If a horse can't canter a soft 20 meter circle on a longe line with side reins, they are aren't ready for a rider.
