A horse that has made a positive change in his behavior needs an opportunity to 'soak', to concentrate on & digest what he has learned. He needs his quiet time. Given this opportunity, his response will be better the next time you work with him.
Buck BrannamanOnce you have seen quality horsemanship and are exposed to the things you can do to help a horse be gentle and dependable, then why wouldn't you do those things? No matter what your horse's age, you are going to try to offer him the best that you can. If you adjust what you are doing, he will adjust too; horses have an amazing capacity to make changes. There is always hope.
Buck BrannamanMost people think of a feel as when you touch something or someone and what it feels like to your fingers but, a feel can have a thousand different definitions. Sometimes feel is a mental thing. Sometimes feel can happen clear โcross the arena. Sort of an invitation from the horse to come to you.
Buck BrannamanThe comforting thing to the horse is, is as you become more and more accurate, he knows youโre aware of him, and pretty soon because of that heโs aware of you more and more of the time.
