Re: Please explain NH to me.

Tracey---I'm not even going to attemp to explain it ...because I would
probably fail miserably...there are so many different methods etc that I
wouldn't even know where to begin...for example...I have watched lots of
videos on dressage, talked to lots of dressage people, attended clinics and
taken a few lessons...with all that I have barely scratched the tip of the
iceberg....I know the ONLY way I can ever truely understand and learn
dressage is by doing it with instructors...hours and years on end...and
probably the more instructors one can study under the better; because they
all do things differently and have different good techniques to offer. Just
like a person can never learn what they need to know about trail riding from
inside an arena...so a person a never understand what all this Natual
Horsemanship stuff is about until they, for a period of time, immerse
themselve in it...
