Disconnection
Disconnection
If your horse is consistently disconnecting from you (often this will manifest as them looking off to the outside) then you can use this video to help you.
If you encounter any problems with the Focus & Bend, work on them until they are solved and then go back to the Focus & Bend exercise.
You will continue working on the Focus & Bend exercise to the left until your horse goes off around you, off of the point (not having to use the flag) every time and maintains the correct bend. Then you will keep them walking around you (we are not lunging them, but they are going to circle around you). This will be a tool you can use if you ever need to show a vet your horse in a circle – we do not teach it for that purpose, we teach it for collision avoidance purposes and to get them to read your energy, amongst other things.
