Re: [RC] Right and Left Brain (Parelli thread) - Kathy Mayeda
I agree a lot with what you said because Drako can
go between "right brain" and "left brain" behaviour in the Parelli
context within matter of seconds. But there is still a lot of
literature about right brain being the artistic side and the left brain being
the rational side...
They have charted their horses "horsenality" in the
latest Savvy Magazine, and none of their horses fall simplistically in any one
quandrant. It is just a tool that they are exploring to come up with
some solutions that may be more appropriate for that
particular horse. Like a dull left brain horse would need more
stimulation and the right brain horse would need less stimulation. I don't
think that they are claiming that it is that simplistic.
Subject: [RC] Right and Left Brain
(Parelli thread)
Remember that the right and left brain (human and horse among
others) are connected by the corpus collosum which is a broad, thick band
running from side to side and consisting of millions and millions of nerve
fibers. Unless one has agenesis (inability of the nerve fibers to form)
or unless the CC is cut, the right and left brain are in constant
communication. The brain is a mighty bunch of matter. Discussing
it in such simple terms as right and left is, IMHO, unrealistic and
unscientific.
