Ohh, don't know how to deliver this! I want to share it all because this was very inspiring. Worked the 'new' flying changes, trot work in half pass, canter pirouettes and piaffe as a follow up today and in the very effective and, 'herregud', very intense Ignacio-way!

The enthusiasm can be totally overwhelming, he controls every step and he wants you exactly THERE or HERE and NOW. So there is a constant flow of him telling you where to go, what to do and corrections. He always correct with stopping excerice and walk, start again. But it is not all bad, he is also generous with praises and exclamations like OLÈ! - CABALLO FANTASTICO! - MARAVILLOSO! So he definitely lifts your spirits whilst giving you a hard time, nice man. And we can take it, just bring it on! He really liked Donoso and said it was a long time since he saw a horse with such class, great movements and intelligent personality, olé to Donut!

I don't normally share my training as it is very personal stuff for me but I have decided I will post you the video of this clinic because I think you will enjoy it. But meanwhile here are the photos from today, even Javier was exhausted from trying to get all the action on photos and video, but I think he managed to catch the intensity and interaction real well.

Ignacio Rambla & Donoso VII

   Explaining the 'false diagonal' - never heard of it..

   'Go this way' and you better go THAT way...

Good flying change..

   Great flying change, do you see it Bill?

   Had to pay alot of attention - eyes and ears wide open!

Canter pirouettes - love it!

A classy horse reacts alot to the smallest signals

   Passage coming on

   Piaffe

  
So proud over my beautiful horse!

Vem skulle inte vara stolt över en sådan magnifik häst?
Alla dina hingstar ser fantastiska ut, i alla fall på bilderna. De är magnifika var och en på sitt sätt. Måste kännas fantastiskt att ha dessa tre unika diamanter i ditt stall.
Jag följer med glädje din fina blogg men har inte lämnat kommentar förut.

Han är ju bland det vackraste hingstar jag sett på många år. I klass med Tarugo! Nästa år på SICAB måste du gå vidare till riddelen och bli mycket högt placerad totalt.
Vad heter tränaren din förresten?
Lycka till!

Donoso ser fantastisk fin ut. Han har virkelig lagt seg ut og utviklet seg masse siden jeg så ham i Sverige :)) Det er så inspirerende med trenere som virkelig engasjerer seg!
