I use just a short rope/open cordeo to work with the horse where I have already done exercise with the halter and cordeo and lead rope. I try to keep the walk more dynamic, changing side and direction frequently. With the open cordeo the hand are more free and the horse can better see the movents and gestures. The same can easily being repeated without anything. The gentle the body language is the less Degas has the desire to leave. In the work I often integrate pauses, scratching him where he doesn't reach easily by himself, which makes my position very special and desired, For example scratching around and inside the ears or between the hindlegs. He has discovered that humans can be very useful. To get his attention gets very easy and food is a reward, but it is not the main and only one.
