Fieldtrip

Today we took a little trip down to the IDA in Wellington to watch Juan Matute do some in hand piaffe/ passage work with some horses.  I have to say it was really quite incredible to watch, his timing and control is truly unbelievable.  At one point he was working one horse (in its third session of in hand work with him) from the left shoulder on an 8 meter circle right in travers right in half steps, quite impressive to see, he was able to keep an excellent contact with the horses from the ground and the control he was able to keep of the outside rein was really incredible.  All in all a very educational and very impressive thing to watch!
