@AquaAngel374 Sounds like a great ride and your mare showed you a lot of trust and respect, happy to follow your leadership. The clearer you are in your body language, the softer and happier she will be to do as you ask and, as you discovered, that is a fabulous feeling. Have fun.

@mysticpasos I didn't get a chance to do it this weekend,but i did get to ride my horse and i dunno what happened....she all the sudden...started being good....LOL she did almost PERFECT on a 2 hour trail ride i went on (and it was rough,plus we had to walk thru deep water) and i got her out of her pasture and i put the leadrope over her back and she followed me the whole way,i didn't even have to lead her! LOL i will try my best to try her in the round pen

@AquaAngel374 You need to teach your horse to mirror your energy and relaxation and how to project a driving energy and a drawing energy. If you want your horse to come to you, walk a circle that will bring you maybe 20 feet behind the horse. To keep an eye on you, your horse will turn its head or body to face you. When it does, back away, creating a draw. If the horse starts toward you, turn and walk away, creating a stronger draw. When the horse reaches you, just stand and rub it softly.

@lapazfarms1 Glad you liked the video. It does create a wonderful relationship with the horse. Thanks for commenting.
I really want a bond with my horse that people can see. But I find it hard to do without a round pen where I board her. And the arena doesn't have a gate from the pasture next door. Wt can I do to bond with my horse? PLEASE HELP!

@siarrahbabey14 The round pen gives your horse liberty in a small space - freedom within limits; choices with consequences. With a halter and lead line you can build a strong bond. Start by harmonizing with your horse in the pasture, keeping slack in your lead line. She stops, you stop, she walks, you walk. Do this until your mare checks in with you with an eye or ear, then lift your rein and suggest that she go off in that direction, relaxing and going with her. Teach her to follow a feel.
