Read a 2006 savvy times article on the liberty horse behavior course, and how for the first while the students were just to be with their horse and not try to direct anything. This is what I did today, to repair the damage done by last day's direct line thinking.
Spent a long time just sitting on the grass while she grazed. Later, I took her into the outdoor ring so I could watch her without the line. She then let me walk up to her, and untangle her mane. I gave her a banana as when I wanted to take her back inside, and she then let me halter her without running away. It was a nice feeling.
