Children vs. Adult
-Children have imagination, no ego, and light phases
You want an equal relationship with your horse. Not.. I say, you do= dictatorship.. or horse says, I do= Horse is leader
3 Laws of Parelli Natural Horsemanship
1. Put the relationship first
2. Practice in all 4 savvies and put the foundation first
3. Never ending self improvement
humans lack..
Truth
Transparency
Trust
..while horses have it
-You must stay in the moment with your horse
-Good leaders don't keep emotions bottled up
-Humans make emotional based decisions, while animals usually do not
Careful of your THOUGHTS, they turn into your ACTIONS, which then become your WORDS, and therefore becomes your CHARACTER
*You can FORCE a horse at phase one because of your THOUGHTS!
Welcome to my blog where I can share my journey with you! I am a Licensed Parelli Professional Two Star Junior Instructor. Here you can read about my experiences with Parelli Natural Horsemanship, my personal horsemanship journey, and my journey with being a Parelli Instructor. I hope to inspire and empower you with my quest for never ending self improvement. I have been studying Parelli for 11 years and am an official Level 3 graduate. I am studying Level 4 with my two horses, Max and Savannah. I grew up riding horses the traditional way and was in the United States Pony Club for 12 years, where I competed in Eventing and Dressage. My first introduction to Parelli was with my pony, who at the time was not a problem horse. I've had my andalusian mare, Savannah for 7 years now and after 2 years of struggling with her while not using Parelli methods, I knew I had to change something. I have been doing Parelli with her for the past 5 years and graduated Level 3 with her fall 2010. In the Spring of 2010 I received Max from Kelly Sigler. I owe it to my two amazing horses, as I would not be where I am now without them, they are my greatest teachers. The journey so far with Parelli has been fun, fulfilling, challenging, and life changing.
