• Understanding Contact with Katrin Silva (46:02)
Contact is never heavy, or static, or pulling, but for some it can be a bad word. In this lesson Katrin Silva explores contract from a very green horse, through a more educated horse and on up to a very experienced one. She discusses the evolution of how she asks for and maintains contact at each stage of development and examines the conformational and other challenges each horse might face. Without ego she invites us along to watch and learn from her training horses as they are learning themselves.
