Trying to fall asleep last night at an earlier hour than
usual because I knew the time change would be taking its toll on Monday
morning, thoughts and conversations from the weekend coalesced into something
thematic:
Take the leap, spring
ahead, trust in what you don’t know.
Before turning off my light, I had just read the first few
chapters of
Relaxed and Forward, a collection of horse training essays written
my friend Anna Blake.
We share the idea that training is about relationship, and that's why her training book is less how-to and more meditation. We had dinner together Friday night and discussed the
life-changing magic of the long-line and flying disc for Ruby. Earlier in the month
I wrote about using the long-line for
recall training but we’ve been doing much
more goofing off than training. The interesting thing is…goofing off is working
wonders.
