Sylvia desensitizing to ropes

Deeper bonding with the horse

Sylvia working with clinic
participant to teach one-rein stop

Sylvia getting the at liberty
"latch on"

Horse raises tail willingly
in bonding step

- Plastic desensitizing - retreating
so the horse can
- digest plastic flying around,
on retreat mode
-

- Allowing the horse to digest
the wand with plastic,
- with lowered head to help
in relaxation
-

- Sylvia round penning a trust
issue horse to
- achieve the at liberty voluntary
latch on
-

Sylvia asking for the outside
right turn

Sylvia asking for the inside
right turn

Sylvia asking for inside left
turn. Now we're dancing together!

The horse voluntarily makes
smaller circles, asking for the invite in

- The former-trust-issue horse
shows the final at liberty sign of wishing to
- join up, head down, mowing
the ground with nose, as the horse says,
- "I'd like to be with
you now, please. Let's connect up here, shall
we?"
- All pressure is removed at
this final sign.
-

- ...And the horse voluntarily
approaches the human for "join up,"
with trust, new
- follower understanding and
more relaxed about making the decision by itself.
- All body language pressure
is removed from the horse to make the
- approach easier and more
inviting.
