Here is a blog I found about about through Warwick Schiller, I have linked to it on a post that opens up a new concept (to some people like me) about pressure and release that goes beyond what we have always been told concerning horse training.

If you are interested, here is the video in which Warwick talks about the concepts in the blog post and shows how it works.
I have been working with this concept with Sophie and it has really helped me begin to understand her. Sophie is a different type of horse from any I have owned before. Working with her has really pushed my limits of understanding how to connect with a horse who really doesn't care to connect at first.
We are making progress.
Shayla is here this week, so she is helping me with Sophie. It's wonderful to have someone else's perspective and expertise. We are discovering layers of Sophie's personality. I will go into some of that in another post when I can figure out the words to express it.
