PATTERN PLAY
Horses LOVE patterns! They live their lives based on patterns, and they learn patterns many times faster than we do. Patterns help relax a horse, energize a horse, calm a horse or excite a horse. Pick your pattern depending on what you want them to learn.
-
While playing with the patterns, look for the horse to put in effort and then find relaxation.
-
Begin each pattern or play with a deep breath and a pause to really focus on your intent.
-
REWARDS!!!
-
Look, feel, sense your horse's response - don't blow through a "moment". Most important when presenting new concepts but equally important when upping the ante - with speed, precision or length/distance
-
A Million transitions! In all four savvys and all patterns.
