Freeplay with your horse is an awesome feeling! The human and horse that play together Stay Together! For those who have experienced it, the invisible connection to your horse during freeplay is a true joy. How do you get to that stage of your relationship? It isn't as difficult as you might at first think! In my groundskills clinics, we are exploring Freeplay during the first day ... testing the bond by taking those first few steps toward developing communication with heart, not with ropes. What you need is a few skills first - nothing fancy - just a some moves you can use to establish yourself as your horse's dominant playmate. Once they see that, you are on your way to mutual understanding. Then, using assertive body language (and as much self-belief as you can muster!) you show your horse that you 'speak their language'. Get the moves right first, of course, online. Then take those baby steps slowly and you'll see big results!
