Ive never known anything different and ive always just kind of done it. Some may call that a there are very few people that have that same problem. Not genevieve. I think it forces me to have a better connection with the horse. Without being able to see how far away from a jump she is genevieve has to rely on other , senses. I feel what the horse is feeling, and when they have options maybe i could go deep or , go long, i just, i find the right one. She counts off the distance between jumps before age competition.
