While the mare is quite dejected looking here, for this photo op,
(she instantly puts on the bored face- anytime I grab the camera) she truly had a fabulous, longer-framed lunge session with this handy 'Polo Wrap" encouragement. It really made her think and she was relaxed and reaching down, the entire session, in focused time.I was very impressed.
My sissy sends me lots of horsey stuff to read she finds over the Internet. Lately, she discovered a very informative site called, "The Intentional Horse". I have enjoyed reading about various stable management articles, responses to them and also, testimonies.
"The Intentional Horse" Adds a cool technique called "the body wrap" to our horse loving tool bag.
It was designed by LINDA TELLINGTON JONES. It causes the horse to answer a question you present to it, while free lunging or traditionally so, with Cavesson and line. It is a Bio mechanics session that is designed to naturally, with out devices to the face(side reins), cause the horse to use it's body more effectively for top line development and balance.

It is exactly what I am looking for to rebuild my mare again, after she hollowed for months, due to poor saddle fit.
While December has been bright..it also has been like 20 degrees and sometimes with fierce and biting winds!
This Body Wrap method is going to come in handy for the times we don't want to go out "IN IT"!
The mare ZOOOMED around the arena before we started this WINDY day. Lots of sounds and motions about our world, that got her excited!

Just a few days ere this frigid one, we found ourselves in a gorgeous, surreal setting...one that took my breath away and the mare seemed very content to look on as well.
Frozen Ponds.
It was like Christmas lights, across the blurry waters~
I do love my phone's camera, it seems to take pretty nice shots..as long as we are still!
Hope Your season is Bright and Cheery~ Be well
