I’m sure she will understand and appreciate what you are doing for her. 🙂

The idea is: connect with my horse, be together and ensure that “we’re good”, she’s relaxed and “with” me. Then when I start the lesson, work for short periods but take breaks to reconnect mentally and be sure she is still relaxed and willing. If I check in with her as we go, the connection should continue and the breaks will give her a chance to process what she is learning. At the very least, I hope that she will understand that I am respecting her and responding to her feedback.
