I have started to introduce Shoulder-in to Lucano at Work in hand and during training I ask myself many questions.<\/p>\n\n

To name a few:<\/p>\n\n

– is the angel right (3 or 4 tracks)?– is he only bringing the head in, which results in an overbent neck? – does he understand the function of the outside indirect rein yet, guiding and inviting him to place the forehand in front of the inside hind leg? – is he stepping forward and under the center of mass with his inside hind leg? – if so, can I feel the shoulder freedom of the outside shoulder? – is the outside hind leg also coming forward or is it stepping more sideways?– is he getting light in front because of his carrying ability in behind or is he pushing against my hand? – is he soft in the poll; yielding and searching to my observing half halts?– do I have to correct the center of mass with rebalancing upward half halts? – is he horizontal balanced, having a forward-forward tendency or he is downhill oriented?<\/p>\n\n

The movement itself is a bit familiar to Lucano as we have practiced this at Liberty but bringing in some tools (reins, bit etc. ) we humans easily tend to overdo things.<\/p>\n\n

Therefore, I do film myself regularly to check what is working and what needs attention!<\/p>\n\n

Do my feelings I had in the training match the pictures I see afterwards?<\/p>\n\n
