Finding the solution when pressure is building up

It can be quite challenging at times!

Last year, I was at a practice show where I was helping someone at the warmin-up.

That’s when I noticed a pony flying from one end of the arena to the other. 

I could feel the fear in the pony and the desperation of the young rider, not having the tools and the solutions to get out of the situation.

So we’ve invited Jilles and his pony Gentleman for TRT Live last year as our casestudy.

Together with Jilles and his pony, I went through the first groundwork patterns. 

In the video below you can see the whole session, how Gentleman changes from a tense pony to a more relaxed and confident pony.
