no, I did not lunge him or run him in a round pen first. this is the result of consistent grounwork with a focus on relaxation and posture using the @BalanceThroughMovementMethod #balancethroughmovementmethod #btmm #thoroughbred #ottb #blackbeauty #horsegirl #fyp #foryou #youngequestrian

he has my permission to say no at any point and I will FULL STOP at that very moment and abandon whatever I had planned to do with him. I was expecting this video to show one of those instances where he gives me a “no” so you could all see how I handle those but instead he kept saying “yes” for the first time in days. this process did take five minutes (I sped it up and cut some out for the sake of time) because I never rush anything that has to do with tack. I want him to think through his choices and make decisions on his own time. I read a quote somewhere once that went a little something like “horses don’t want to be forced” (I think it was from someone who had attended a clinic with Mark Rashid) and it has really stuck with me because it’s true. back when I was using more force and punishment (as I’d been taught with traditional practices) I was finding that every time I would add more force I would get farther away from my goal. it wasn’t until I removed the force that we made exponential progress.

day one & day 731 April 12, 2022 I hopped on a plane to go see a horse. The pictures they’d sent of him were pretty awful but from the very moment I saw his ad I felt a pull. two years later and one of the biggest risks I’ve taken in life has become one of my greatest rewards. happy two years to us, bubs, and hopefully many, many more. #horsetok #transformation #thenandnow #beforeandafter #ottb #blackbeauty #fyp #foryou #darkhorse
