I had a great ride under Sharon's watchful eye. Boo Boo came out wound up like a top ready to bolt at the slightest provocation. Within 15 minutes we were focused and working in a nice frame with a swinging back. The exercises were directed towards slowing Boo's tempo, keeping my hands low and active, and playing with spirals to both control the tempo and encourage suppleness. Boo enjoyed the challenge and he softened his poll and jaw and settled into my hands. What a great feeling! It was a pleasure having Sharon teach me with her positive attitude, good eye, and valuable exercises. Thank you Jamie for bringing Sharon to Taproot. Hope to see her again!
