Long hard lesson on a verry fancy horse.
A TB/Warmblood mare, she has ongoing issues with getting her right hock under her (legitimate, physical limitations associated with her stifle) and hates hates HATES contact. The teacher had me thinking Ghost Horse, and Ghost Rider (appropriate for this time of year) and trying to see how light I could be with my hands. After the small triumph with the red horse last week, not-pulling when she was leaning on me so hard, I had some basis to think about this. Oddly, she was much kinder about my seat and legs; either I was doing well with them, or she cares less about contact from legs than contact in her mouth.
