Cassi Thomson Instagram – I’m really proud of what happened here. We learned something together and you can see it happen. I am trying to get Remington into a frame without forcing it.
Context on what a frame is for my non horsie people: When we as humans workout, it’s very important we keep good form — it’s the same for horses. When a horse is “working out” we want to make sure he is holding his form correctly and using the correct muscles so he can achieve supple strength while baring the weight of a rider. In order to achieve that, a horse has to be pushing off the ground using the strength in his bum and hind legs and lifting his core muscles up. When a horse is lifted through his core and pushing from his hind end, magic happens. He can access his full strength and mobility and it feels like you’re floating.
Rem’s head is too low at the beginning, but he’s clearly trying to do the right thing. I stayed focused on what I could do to help him find it—I stayed patient and didn’t fuss with his process—and he found the answer for himself. 🤌🏼 Let me tell ya, it’s really cool to grow along side a horse. Highly recommend it. | Posted on 31/Aug/2023 02:49:29
