Passenger lesson, I like it to be in the horse’s comfort zone

TC and I have been making great progress. I find him more excepting of me and he seems to be teaching me a lot.

I have a question I hope you may have an answer to. I have been doing a form of Natural Horsemanship and in the course they do what is called a  ‘passenger lesson’ where the horse can go where ever he wants to as long as he  maintains the gait you ask for. The rider doesn’t direct the horse at all for a total of 30 mins.

Upon working with TC and using your suggestions, I am starting to feel this is giving the leadership role to the horse. What do you think?

I am now changing to your ways of communication and it is a success I sure thank you for reading this and your help a couple of weeks ago.          Regards Debra
