We were so blessed with some awesome rain today! This is our herds very own rain dance... Just note how sure footed they are on incredibly slippy wet clay soil.. Ibalansi is balance for mind and Body! This physical balance does not develop overnight or all by itself, hence the clients horses are in smaller and more level camps. When we ride horses, there is another huge balance factor added on top- the rider adds weight onto the forehand of the horse. Riders which tend to lean forward or dont follow the movements of the horse fluently bring the horse out of balance. This can even make the horse look unsound, stiff and lame. Therefore we must first work on the riders balance, seat and on the horses straightness and lightness in the forehand.
