start separating all body parts one by one

to start the process of separating the body parts and differentiating the jaw flexion from the poll flexion. Just click the blue link above.
One of my clients practicing isolating different parts of the horses body to gradually create more clarity in movement and lightness of the aids and softness in the body. She starts with the jaw asking for jaw Flexion and an opening of the poll. Then moves onto turning just the head 90 degrees in both directions and finishes off with Flexion of the entire neck followed by some jaw Flexion in the process of flexing the neck.
This is a great way to start separating all body parts one by one so that horse doesn’t move as a block of wood anymore.
Eventually she would move onto the shoulders, ribcage and then the haunches. One can also teach each leg to be moved separately from the rest 😊
