Don't...
Wait until the show/clinic to see if your horse won't load
Just go up to the trailer and see if your horse won't load
Ask a trying horse to try
Hurry up and shut the gate
BIG NO NO= Web halters, no breakaway and takes too long to cut with a knife
-Horses need to think their way through the squeeze and not react
-How well does the gas pedal and breaks work?
-Exaggerate when you get the results you're looking for... mental, emotional and physical connection
-Move on once their mind leaves, stay when they want to
-Once they think about the trailer, their body will follow
-Talk to what zone needs to go in
Ways of Fear
1. Scared for loss of life (Right Brain)
2. Fear of loss of dignity (Left Brain)
Horses should only be tied once they accept extreme friendly with no pulling of the rope
-If you can't tie on a hitching rail, don't tie in the trailer
-Tie in the trailer once they are on, ramp is up, and butt bars are locked.
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.
