Natural horsemanship

Ballydoyle · 05-19-03

I wonder if any of you do natural horsemanship stuff, cause my whole barn does. i mean, there are like 6 saddles in the entire 16 horse barn, and i can't remember the last time i saw someone ride with a bit. i was just wantin to know what you think about nat. horsemanship, and if you do the whole pat parrelli/steve rother/monty roberts thing

hello, hello, anybody there? i think natural horsemanship is a need. when training a young horse to be ridden, and getting introduced to young foals, and just anytime, you need to communicate with horses just as another equine would talk to them. i recommend using the pat parelli seven games system. it is really wonderful!!!!!! talk to your 4-h leader or instructor/trainer about using natural horsemanship at your barn, and see how it will change your relationship with your horse forever. (only for the better)

I totally agree. My whole barn went to a 2 day seminar in Georgia that Mr. Parelli taught and I nearly cried watching the things they did with horses. Sure it took years to get to that but man, that was so worth it.

Unfortunately shortly after that I started college and had to stop working with a horse at the barn on the system ( I had to stop lessons alltogether) but after college I plan on using the system with any horse I get. It is definately worth the money. The horse I was working with was doing great on the system and was progressing well. I had him free jumping, following me over jumps and playing most of the seven games on a 12 foot line. He was a very smart horse that would get bored easily in normal lessons, so this system was perfect to keep his interest.

Bareback riding (with or without the gripper pad) was really helpful in my hunter/jumper training too. It builds confidence and seat balance and I would recommend spending hours doing that on the lunge line and just in a normal snaffle bridle working on the bareback riding in a round pen/arena.
