The dawning part 2

I am blessed, I love my work.
I am a barefoot trimmer and BLM gentler. I met a new client almost 2 weeks ago. I get to gentle a Sulpher mustang, who is just amazing.
This past sunday I got a halter on him and gave him leading lessons. This is ONLY the 3rd visit I have had with him. I did not run him in circles until I wore him out and make his brain mush.
I used his natural instincts and his food motivation to get where we are. He loves having his neck rubbed, he goes soft and leans into you. He also loves having his face massaged. We have a very good understanding so far, and we are progressing well.
So why is it that so many people run horses in endless circles? Why is training rushed?
It made me realize more that I have been doing that to my own mare.
RUSH, RUSH, and RUSH.
That is my fault, I see now. I am expecting a lot when I have not work for something.

To be continued. . . .

Dawning Part 1

The moment it happens, it hits you like a ton of bricks. The moment where you realize the answer has been slapping you in the face.
Last week I started with a new client, to help gentle and trim a beautiful gelding from Sulpher HMA.
When I arrived at the home he was boarded at, I was excited. I have missed those moments when you first bring home a wild one. That thrill and longing. The clean slate they are, with no flaws. Just pure personality and beauty.
