✨ Had (again) a really lovely online lesson with yesterday where we started introducing neutral circles with dragging the belly of the rope softly along the ground. One of my favorite things as a teacher is seeing the moment where all the smaller ingredients someone has been quietly working on suddenly begin connecting together.
Because when I teach - whether it is face-to-face or online - I always have an eye on your future.
If you tell me: “I want to learn liberty.”
Then every exercise I teach you before that point is leading there, intentionally.
Now with Deidre and Tristan, we are not working offline at Liberty just yet, although he does stay and connect when he is loose and can lay down and sit. Yesterday was her very first session introducing drag the belly of the rope on the ground and he understood it almost immediately.
It happened because Deidre has already spent time building all the earlier ingredients in the background first and that’s what people often miss. They skip them. My advice - don't skip them if you want to take this seriously coz half assed does not work with horses.
👉 Remember the fancy thing is usually standing on top of a thousand smaller things and then BOOM it is there. Next weekend I’ll actually be visiting Deidre for private lessons (cannot wait 💃) and while I’m there I’ll also roll the camera for new material for Premium members too. I did this with Jenny, hope to have some of the lessons in the Skool next week.
In this video I share the very beginning stages stepping out of teaching into testing with Benny where I am always prepared to go back on a halter and line if it goes pear shaped.
❓Do you dream of learning liberty…and do you understand how much of it is quietly built through everyday groundwork skills first?
Love to hear from you...
