Who you asking to pivot?

Barn was awesome. I missed the girls so much. It was cold and getting late when I arrived. Isis knickered at me when I came in and every time she saw me. (happy sigh) I love it when she does that.

I had about 20 minutes before it got dark. We free lunged in the big ring and did walk, trot, canter. We also worked on the ground cues for pivot on the haunches and forehand, as well as back. She knows back perfectly, but when you teach something new you start with something they have a lot of confidence in. She is so smart. Third time working on pivot on the haunches on her right side and she did it perfectly second time. Amazing girl.

It’s a very mystical/shamanistic journey that she goes through. She uses her own experience and her professional training as a psychotherapist to combine the experiences…
