Thank you so much Marlene!!! I like the hands off, liberty method, it is there for all to see how much trust there is, and when the horse no longer wants to play he's free to walk off, which means tricks etc don't get overdone :) glad you enjoyed

Great demo Ayesha. This is almost exactly how I taught my guy to bow, no stress, he enjoys it. kind of like pilates for horses! I agree with your opinion about tack adding unnecessary stress and risk to the exercise and using a mostly hands off technique to get the horse there in their own time.
