Working with Kronos

| Bringing him around to set up for a flying lead change |
Developing control and bend within a circle |
Relaxation is key. If you are relaxed in your body and motions, the horse will feed off that |
 |
 |
 |
| This shows the relaxation in both horse and rider, as well as the flexion at the pole |
Preparing for flying lead change within my body |
Asking him to stand while I stand above him, lets me see how much trust has developed between us |
 |
 |
 |
| Now that I have trust, I can ask for flexion at the pole. Which will give me softness in the trust |
Asking for the lope within my body |
Kronos is showing off the new lovely extension that he now has aquired through developing softness. He also has a new found connection between himself and the rider |
