Beautiful horse, and a gorgeous day. Thank you for talking about the "feel of softening" as I've found this is hard to explain to cerebral-minded people whether they are riding or grooming horses.....actually, the "feel" of something is not easy to explain in just about anything until you experience it (smooth fly fishing cast, swimming, riding a bicycle, etc.). Your demonstration showcasing when your horse's rear end came under him, causing his body to soften was a great example of showcasing "feel of softening" visibly. Thanks for sharing with us.
