Recently Courting the Horse paid a visit to the newly established Equine Connect. This short film is the first part in a series which focuses on four of the horses based there. Each horse was brought into the sand arena for training over the course of the afternoon and these videos document the small progressions in each horses training, the observations made by Gina and Lucinda about each horse, their balance, postures, emotional states and more. We hope to follow the progress of these horses as they are put through their paces at Equine Connect in the future. Read more.. |
