If they are having fun with their horse, and the horse is happy, and being a partner.. then who cares if they ride or not? People need to be safe and have fun with their horses... there are a lot of New to horse people, and if they are not having fun and safe while with their horse, then they usually get out of horses... I happen to fall into the "have ridden since I was 3 Category", I will be 50 this year... horses are second nature to me... I study PNH to better my skills and cause I happen to love watching horses... I use to enjoy shows, but not now, not knowing what I know happens to them before, during and after a show, to most of them anyway... So, instead, I guess I watch Pat and Linda... Honestly, I just figured this out, while writing this post... I have no desire to get my Levels Strings.. That is not why I study it... I like watching horses change from total brats, to well behaved partners, who can do what they are asked, on the ground or from their back... I like knowing that people are being taught Safer, ways to be a partner with a horse, I think it is great that people are learning to do it themselves in a fun creative way for them, as well as the horse, it is not about the Tasks, it is really about communication with your horse... Some people do not get that... they are either to hard on a horse, or to easy on a horse... You gota have that relationship in place... to get it right, there has to be balance...
