𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 Part 9

I felt like giving up. After 6 months of lunging with barely any results I started to loose the fun of working with her. I gave her 2 months off during the summer where she could spend some time in the field. I had my hands full on the showseason with my Quarter mare Nikki. I was teaching a lot, spend time with family and friends and was building up my business. It all was a bit too much.

By the end of the season I felt ready to pick up the work with Pura again. I booked a new lesson with my trainer to teach me more about the work in hand.. It took some practice.. Okay, it took a LOT of practice to get the hang of it.. but then..

𝐖𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬!

The first time I felt her stretch down was absolutely amazing! Her energy completely changed, her walk felt so much stronger and bigger. It felt like so much tension was finally leaving her body. As if she's been constantly holding her breath in the work and now she started breathing. You'd think you would get used to this sensation. But with every horse I worked with ever since, the first releases are still magical. 💚

Did we just make a huge turn in our journey?
