This is Optimo de Ymas, he is a new addition to our team. He has been ridden in competition, very upside down, because of this he had a lot of anxiety.

A short clip of how he was working before:

This is our first day together.

I start with assessing his body for the problem areas we need to change and include a little longeing for balance in both directions. I have high hopes Optimo will become a patient school horse for riders to learn collection with lightness.

I will add updates regularly as he progresses.
