Mark Jasmann & Blackie

April 07, 2010 — Mark Jasmann works with Blackie on softness and balance through the whole horse. When Blackie tries to initiate a transition with his front feet, thereby raising his head and neck, Mark goes up with his outside hand so that the pressure stays. But rather than being pulled down, the horse has a chance to find his own way out of pressure. When he prepares to drop his head, Mark releases.
