In this second part of our series we see another young horse at the start of his career. Granito is a 5 year old Andalusian/Thoroughbred cross who starts his session a bit scattered and tight.

I really enjoyed this issue, especially (and this surprised me) the roping! I’m not much of a roper, and I knew there was alot to it but this was really educational for the beginner like me… Also loved Wendy’s piece, it was a very good demonstration.
