After watching videos with Carolyn Resnick, Stina Herberg, Farah DeJonette and others, I have decided to give it a try. I was surprised how easy it came up. The lecture I have learned is to be patient! Normally we walk up to the horse and DO something, or DEMAND something. Since I've tried yust to be there, somewhere, not too close, the horse makes the desition to "join up" with me. I want to point out that I did not chase the horse off first so it would beg me for a rest. Some people think that this is the trick!
In this case, my horse "Dorado" is close to 10 years old, and as you can see in one of my other videos was broken in by some quite rough methods. He knows very well that holding the briddle in my hand means WORK, but he did not mind. I like this! Sure I will keep on with natural horsemanship and liberty training.
By the way, again thanks to my first teachers Chico Ramirez and Victor Vega! (If they happen to see this vid.) Without them I would be nowhere close to where I am now!
This a great start Klaus! The part where you are filling in the hole clearly illustrates that when you take your mind off the horse, the horse is drawn in to you. Your dog I see though, likes the holes to stay!

@FDHorsetraining Hello Farah, you have got the point, the dog really was interested in having this hole there, and I was not ! Hmmm - what do do in such a case ? Well, I have my laugh, the dogs have their fun, the horses too -- what else do we want ? Thanks for your comment, best wishes .. Klaus
