I’m glad to see this issue being
discussed. It very timely for me - I’m riding a new horse in next
week’s Rendezvous with Destiny. Our relationship together is
still new, but so far, he listens and respects me on the ground and trail.
I plan on using Rendezvous as a training opportunity for him. We’re
going to start after everyone else leaves and we’re going to ride our ride
at our own pace. I have no desire to be a passenger on a rocket so I planned
on dismounting (if feasible) and reengaging his brain with Parelli games if he
loses focus.
I would like to know if anyone has any special
techniques or methods for rating their horses.
