Meet Isaac... Isaac is a 13 yr old Quarter Horse. He is super quiet, right until he isn't... He has a history of pulling and running away.
In Part 3, Karen continues teaching Isaac to follow the float in her rope. The lead-rope is equivalent to the inside rein in these exercises, so she also teaches him about following softness offered in a rider's rein later. "Feel and Release" follows the philosophy of less is more, demonstrated here as Karen accesses Isaac's mind to help him gain confidence about following direction with her in his right eye.
Ironing this tightness out is pretty important, because when his owner rides him, he can see her in both eyes. The kind of tightness he shows about Karen operating from his right side likely contributes to the "short fuse" he has had under saddle.
