Icelandic Horse Connection, Groundwork with Tryggur, the Icelandic Horse

More active use of the lariat
around and over the head.

Working both sides.

Now he's comfortable enough
to wear the lariat.

A heavier touch with a moving lariat,
combined with leaning on the opposite site.

More weight applied to his side and
topline, with the rope active on the off-side.

Positioning him with body language
next to the mounting "bucket".

Getting him used to seeing me
above him; touching from above.

Touching with the lariat.

Active use of the lariat from above.

The finale, for this session:
placing weight on his topline,
and having him see me from up above
in both eyes, both sides.
