Joey is a stunning 'Bechtolsheimer baby'. Laura shows her 4 year old to Klaus Balkenhol for the first time and Dr B acts as interpreter. Klaus stresses the importance of the scales of training with youngsters. He asks Laura to find a regular rhythm and contact, and to make corrections quietly. Joey works from a long rein to a loose rein in the warmup with frequent walk breaks. Short intervals of collected work follow, plus a few steps of sitting trot, the start of half halts, changes in direction, some serpentines and a bit of shoulder in, all the while ensuring Joey is attentive to Laura. The session is perfectly timed to suit Joey's concentration span!
