Brazilian Wedding has the Eye of the Tiger

 

Watching Brazil in the pasture or in work, she carries off this persona that nothing could shake her off the game. She has the "eye of the tiger" attitude. Never says no, and always wanting to please. Brazil is her own identity. In company or by herself, she is comfortable in her own world. She could have horses come and leave the arena while in work, and still stay focused on the task at hand. Brazil loves to jump, for she is always looking to the other side but in a very calculated way. Several strides out Brazil backs herself off, placing herself to collect, then jump the desired obstacle. Even the first time through the one stride, she figured out how to place herself to complete the whole exercise. Next we will do several consecutive one strides to improve her form and confidence. This will only improve her canter as well. Enjoy!!!
