"Without Relaxation you cannot communicate. Training a horse means always to start with relaxation. So as a rider or trainer, you have to ask yourself: is movement helping the horse to relax or is it work in standing, or playing with the horse to find the key to relaxation. Playing means to me: Smile and pracitce. Find out what your horse likes to do - then smile. The work has to start with a smile in your face. Smiling is importand to avoid mental pressure of the horse ."
