Luca Fappani demonstrates how to help a young colt learn to follow its nose—a foundational skill for softness, balance, and responsiveness. In this session, he applies a hackamore for the first time and explains how it encourages a clearer line of communication without overwhelming the horse. Watch as Luca uses timing, feel, and consistent cues to establish lightness and direction, setting the stage for future refinement. This video is made possible through partnership with the 2025 Along For The Ride Symposium.
