7th August, 2013 ...and Rest...

Another training analogy today. It was off to the gym this morning and I noticed that in between the exercises I was directed to do by Sally I just took the opportunity to relax and rest. A horse that is being worked at an optimum level will do the same. He knows that he has to take the opportunity when he can. Proper working horses spend very little time fussing and fretting, they stand when they are tacked up, when they are tied up and whenever there is a break in the proceedings. Providing a horse is physically comfortable, there's a lot to be said for work.
