Presenting Out Swiss Participant

It was a gamble. And the gamble worked. This young woman was a novice rider when she arrived in La Boulaye last Christmas. Together we did one run through the basic riding theory à la Study-Horsemanship. I accompanied her closely for a week or two. Since then she is on her own. Learning to see, feel and understand the horse's needs and doing Feldenkrais #3 (our numbering) to release her hollow back. We assiged her three thorough-breds, who surely knew first gear only.

Today I was surprised to hear and see Alisero produce the same sounds and signs, which the horse's here tend to produce in preparation for the second gear. In the photograph below you see her on Filly, who is just beginning to find her form.
