If you’ve ever had a phase where your horse suddenly feels softer in the contact, easier to bend, more relaxed through their back — only to find yourself a few weeks later dealing with the same old issues again… You’re not imagining it. This cycle is incredibly common, and the missing piece is where the training focus is placed.
