Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE riding. I simply believe the art of horsemanship is in finding out what and how much we can do with our horses without losing the connection. Without losing the joy and beauty of what the horse is. Feeling a partnership with the horse and truly feeling the horse is enjoying his or her job is the best thing there is. For a long time I’ve asked myself the question, ‘do horses enjoy being ridden?’. I still believe, if done right and if the horse is listened to as well, the answer is yes.
But before riding, I work a lot on connecting. It makes the riding much easier and enjoyable, for both.
