A well-timed release. A horse’s natural capacity and ability for change. These are some ingredients in the formula for some pretty amazing — and sometimes quite speedy — transformations.
Brownie provides us with a very clear example of this. His first experience with leading by a front foot displayed a lack of understanding, a poor relationship with pressure. When asked to give, he struck and pulled away instead. But he did not end on that note, a fact that is evidenced by seeing where he started the next day, with Brownie much more willing and comprehending of what was being asked. A steep rate of change, indeed!
