Christi's horse, Maverick is very relaxed after playing with the Cloverleaf Pattern! She and I had so much fun together; Pat Parelli teaches us this pattern to help horses find relaxation, it has enough consistency for impulsive horses and yet enough variety for 'short' horses (short=only go short distances; 'under-impulsive'.) After a few laps at the walk, our horses began to 'get it' so we would only stop in the middle, making the center or X the sweet spot instead of stopping at the gate every time. My horse began to get better at the trot and then even a few canter strides on the pattern. Good stuff!
