Here is a video Inspired by Carolyn Resnick's Grass exercises. This is an immensely helpful and important exercise. It takes very little time to get the horse to understand and is quite a nice way to play with grass areas. See more like this at http://fdhvirtualclinic.com/

this is a great vid farah, thanks for posting. i use practice this exercise alot and variations on the theme with hay nets in the barn. my mare isnt quite as respectful as your boy with shifting his hind around, i usually get a sniffy face but it has a huge impact on our relationship and she asks for permission to do lots of other things afterwards too such as go through a gate before me or not. if i dont practice this as often the result is a horse who sees me as a helpful servant or someone to be completely ignored - a very powerful exercise.

Hey Jo! Good to hear from you :)I'll be UK bound again soon and maybe twice in 2013! I really enjoy this exercise when we are sharing time in the Hay field and it is often what we do before we play :)
