Intrinzen--To the Moon

To the moon from Seriouspony on Vimeo.
Kathy Sierra and Steiner Sigurbjornsson are leading the Intrizen group to develop a new way of working with the horse to develop its pride, agility, and fitness through positive reinforcement and a sense of play. So instead of chasing the horse with a longe whip, what if you rewarded the horse for chasing a plastic bag and then shaped that behavior to high leg lift? Icelandics aren't known for their baroque movements or collected canter but you can see some of the results in this video. Five gaiters are developing the most amazing, springy trot and four gaiters are volunteering loose rein tolt. I really need to get serious on starting this program with Blessi.
