I wouldn’t have believed you a year ago if you told me I’d feel more joy playing on the ground in the arena with my horse than I ever felt under saddle and that I’d only ride him under saddle a few times a month. I’ve gotten to know him in ways I never would have had I continued to carry a more “ridden” goal-oriented focus in the time we spend together and playing with him at liberty is just so much freaking fun. it’s also improved him and our connection under saddle in ways I can’t explain. ——— #groundwork #horsemanship #libertyhorse #ottb #blackbeauty #thoroughbred #ilovemyhorse #horsegirl #lifewithhorses #playtime #playwithyourhorse #horseplay #horsingaround #scootboots #barefoothorse #hoofhealth #fyp #foryou #horsetok
