RE: [RC] Horse balls and Parelli - Patty P

 
....If I'm experiencing a problem with my horse it is because I have failed
To properly communicate what I want my horse to do.  It is not his/her
Fault if he/she doesn't understand what is required. It is up to me to
Find a way to get through to my horse.
 
This is so true...and I have learned this from the Lyons method, as well as the Linda Tellington Jones method...in fact, I think its probably fair to say that any good trainer believes this. I get so tired of hearing people say they have a stupid horse, or the hrose is just doing that to be bad...that is nonsense. It is a lack of good communication. That is it! :) I may be new to endurance, but not new to training.

I would like to echo Kristi's point, Parelli Natural Horsemanship is not
just a list of tasks to be completed, but a system, using the horse's
natural behavior, to build a trusting bond between you and your horse.
What the Parellis teach is that a solid relationship with your equine is
far more important than some list of techniques employed to solve this
or that "problem."  One of the things I've learned from the PNH is that
if I'm experiencing a problem with my horse it is because I have failed
to properly communicate what I want my horse to do.  It is not his/her
fault if he/she doesn't understand what is required. It is up to me to
find a way to get through to my horse.  Parelli teaches you how to
relate to your particular animal, based on its individual
"horseanality", in order to find a way for your horse to hear your
message.  Thanks to their teaching, I can truthfully say that I've never
been angered by my horses, only by my temporary inability to communicate
with them.

Then, download the levels tests (I have them if you
can't find them).

Oh no no no. PNH is so much more than that; it's not
about the TESTS, it's about building a partnership
with your horse! They have expanded their program to
include a TON of stuff about horse psychology and
reading your horse. Go to Ebay to find used prices on
the new L1 kit (the one with the DVDs); another pack
that I recently bought and find to be gold is the
Liberty and Horse Behavior DVD set. And yes, PNH
'stuff' isn't cheap, but I've found that the stuff
I've bought and kept (leads, halters) is worth the
price, and the stuff I don't keep, I can sell for not
much less than what I paid. And saving my
life...priceless.

Life's a journey, so enjoy the ride (and try not to fall off)
