pretty ears!

It's been a journey, getting Shaun to relax at feeding time. Asking him to go to a certain place, wait, and then put those ears up, instead of pinning them at me. Oh, maybe not AT me, but they were pinned. Hard to change old habits. Sure has taught me about release and timing. It's taught me how important timing is, and how bad I am at it. You have to release as the horse decides to do what you are asking, which happens before the horse does what you want. He is teaching me how to be as soft as possible, to ask with a whisper, and celebrate those small steps quietly...together.
