2. Reflective seeing - practice seeing the horse in "body language".
a) walk completely around your horse as if you are drawing their silhouette in the ground. Tracing OUTSIDE the lines. Perfect your sensitivity by being closer and closer without touching. Keeping it dynamic/kinetic by being aware of the swinging/sweeping head and neck.
Reminded this morning of how incredibly difficult this is! Especially with an "over-domesticated" horse. Like the geese in "Fly Away Home", this horse has been imprinted by humans. She thinks she is "stacked vertically" like a human. A head on a stick. She has no idea of the 'whole' of her. A horse out of body!
