Observe, Observe, Observe! (2026) A working session with a 4-year old mare

by Mary Gallagher

I recently had an opportunity to video for students regarding how I observe a horse in my ground work before I start a teaching session. A promising young mare had arrived at Freedom Farm in need of attention to her behavioral habits. I’ve been taking time here and there to get to know her better. The video captures 9 minutes or so of an early session with her, in which she revealed quite a bit about herself.
