Groundwork
I spent some time with Chance tonight reviewing the groundwork that we know. It amazes me the he was better than the last time we worked. No shutting down, his feet were not stuck at all, and backing him is getting better also. The only difficulty he had was switching eyes. He was pretty hooked on with the left and didn't want to use the right one much at all. We will work on that tomorrow.

My guess and my experience is that WE are more different than the horses over time. As WE learn and gain new skills and take breaks to allow "latent learning" to take place, we are different to our horses and they reflect that.
I think the horses are less "trained" by us than they are "affected" by us.
I think you are right. No, I know you are right. I am in a better place than I was a month ago, I am not as distracted and able to focus and channel my energy better. It is so much easier for them to "hear" us when we are clear with what we ask for.
Another valuable lesson on the sensitivity of our horses. They teach us so much.
