Any time she stiffens up we just go back to getting a nice relaxed gait.

It is a two way conversation for sure and part of not buying into the drama, not picking up that ball, or biting the bait.

Being able to focus on establishing forward positive energy and straightness versus spooks actually helping to prevent the spooks = one hell of a mental ride.

On that "heavenly trail ride" with Leah, I dug down for every bit of positive energy I could muster, suppressed my fears as much as possible, and believed we could do anything. She responded by taking pride in her job and wanting to listen to me. It's not easy because troll corners are everywhere in the big, bad world, and sometimes it's just going to go bad, but we're more prepared for it when it does because we've put in the time and paid our dues in blood, sweat and tears! You're doing awesome!
