[RC] Horse sense and common sense - hard to find... - Kristi SchaafSandy wrote: funny - all these programs in reality embrace a TON of common sense and horse sense - something we and many other less cowboy types (no insult there to cowboys - they are a rare breed) have used, embraced and been successful with LONG before it was fashionable, long before it was in books or videos (dating myself here) and before some peeps made a ton of money espousing it. ___________________________ But therein lies the rub. Common sense is not common, and the vast majority of people around horses do NOT have horse sense! Something you'll hear Parelli say is "You want to be good with horses? Look at what other so-called horse people are doing, and do the opposite". As a new horse owner just over a decade ago, much of the supposed good advice I got were things that I would NOT do to my horses now that I know better (and I know better mostly from learning the techniques and philosophies of great horsemen and women who have put all their horse sense in a teachable format).
