Jen Griger has been Cathy's student for years and is now an
assistant to Cathy. Jen has been doing fabulously well bringing young
horses along. She is doing so under Cathy's watchful eye and
guidance.
We are vary proud of her accomplishments and her own students have
benefited greatly since Jen knows The System and knows how to teach
beginner and young riders.
Cathy's comments:
Jen has been working with this 3 year
old for a few days. He is owned by Cricket Harvey and is learning to steer and find his balance. Notice
that she is not trying to pull his head down. When he resists the bit,
she tries to turn him with a give and take, keeping him balanced, so
that ultimately, when she yields he softens to the bit. She is not
shutting him off with her hands, so she does not need spurs or a whip in
order to keep him going forward. I really like this horse. Notice the
last frame. See how engaged, supple, balance and correct the horse is in
his frame after just a few minutes of work.
Jen Griger is doing a fantastic job with Aramo, a very nice horse
for the right person.
