In this session, Jordon Briggs works with an overworking 4-year-old and focuses on helping the horse relax and stay mentally collected. With guidance from Martha Wright, Jordon applies previous lessons and uses cones around the barrels to reinforce correct positioning. Together, they work through the barrel pattern to build confidence and softness in the young horse.
