Tracey and  Scooter, whom she started herself, working on vertical flexion. Tracey just started teaching it to him in this picture.

I have watched Cinton's show on RFD, and have groundwork video's, plus Riding with Confidence series. I have 6 horses, which we ride for fun, and let me tell you, I now realize the key to vertical flexion is lateral flexion!!! You really get soft, supple horses, and it totally amazes me to think that just a few bending exercises everyday will get you that horse you all want!! I even started my own horse, and now have him softer than most trained horses I have ridden over the years!!! I have re-started our old ex-roping horse, who was so stiff, and only liked to go one speed, who now is relaxed, goes on a loose rein and is getting really soft for an 18 year old horse. I am sure she feels much better too!! I really enjoy riding her now that she is relaxed, has a stop on the word whoa alone and is happy to just be with us.

I now have a great relationship with my horses thanks to some of your exercises that I have learned and will keep on learning.

Happy Trails
Tracey
