Parelli

I have recently became a fan of Parelli natural horsemanship. I am attempting to take both my horses through this programme. Taking as long as it takes.......

Both were very spooky last night. Don't know if it was the arrival of some new highland cattle in the field in front of their field. She seemed to settle quicker than him. She, I guess is a left brain extrovert and he is too but recently I question he may be more right brain.

I spent a lot of time time trying to get him a little calmer before I could think of trying anything new. Lot's of disengaging the hindquarters, a little friendly game until I had his attention. Periods of calm and lowering of the head and inquisitiveness interrupted by periods of right brain behaviour. Hmmmn. I think we will have to stay here for a while. Very dominant horse!

Going to Auchterarder at the end of August for a Parelli clinic. Rachel Moreland will be taking a level three class. Unfortunately I'm not at that level yet but it should be inspirational. Looking forward to it. My challenge 100 days of Parelli - Wonder how far I will go? Hopefully I will see great improvements in my relationship with my horses and their behaviour. Day 1 begins.........
