My forty minute session with horse trainers Robert and Stacy Jo Hartley of Hartley Performance Horses was pure magic. The dynamic husband and wife team swiftly identified the easy fixes, the things I can do to improve the way my gelding, Irish, and I work together. The bulk of the workload falls to me -- hand, elbow, and body position.
The best part of our time together was the way Irish readily responded to the corrections I made to me. At the end of our lesson, my gelding actually nuzzled me -- something he doesn't typically do.
Thanks, Stacy Jo and Robert!
