You've got me! Could it have something to do with "following the feel"?

Good guesses!! Though not the answer I was looking for :) I am sure that it would help though because it is a porcupine game but the answer is...

It is about the relationship. If your horse will back up by the hocks (or anything else for that matter) it will improve your relationship so that when you ask him to bridle you will have an even better relationship. This can go for anything and I think that is is important to remember this when we are playing with our horses, everything means something...

Great job :)

P.S. I just wanted to add that the question wasn't mine, a Parelli Instructor asked us this question at a clinic I attended.

I have been doing Parelli since April 2006. I bought my first horse, Prince, on April 21, 2006 at the age of 11. That was when I started this amazing journey.

I officially passed Level 3 in 2010 and with three Level 4 savvy passed my aim is to pass my Finesse within the next year and then start a new part of my journey as a Parelli Professional and help make the world a better place for humans and horses.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! Feel free to leave a comment! I love them!
