Hard Work Pays Off in Piaffe

Marquis de Matcho performing the Piaffe after working a great excercise (thanks Juan Matute) with his owner Jillian. His hind leg is active while he remains softly on the contact.
It is important to recognize that even trainers need a trainer or ground coach to help develop the sport horse.
I got some great coaching this week in Wellington and was able to pass some of the lesson along to Jill on 'Paco'. It is tiring for the horse to travel and exhausting for all concerned and thank GOD my other clients are patient for my return.
This photo shows that hard work does pay off! -SVdN
