When your body and the body of your horse are connected, you can FEEL how it’s impossible to force straightness. In the same way, as it’s impossible to force CONNECTION or ENGAGEMENT.
You can feel how, in order to come, straightness needs just some space and time, and how the body the horse needs to trust you that it offers itself to someone of a good body awareness that will not increase the tensions it already has, but will support them in being released.
Then straightness becomes like healing together, and moving together becomes like a dance.
