Quote for July 21st 2010

"A horse needs a leader—calm, controlled and focused. It is up to us to learn how to become this kind of leader for our horse and even more important, how to be his teacher. Only then can we teach our horse to become our partner." Mr. Parelli

Another quote of Pat's that I like:

If your horse says no, you either asked the wrong question, or asked the question wrong.

Ruffian

Ruffian is a 9yr old, Left Brain Extrovert, Canadian hackney QH cross. He is owned by my sister but I play with him now.

Ruffian and I are playing in Level 3 Online, Level 2 Liberty and Level 1/2 Freestyle. Our journey has been an interesting one. Ruffian can become a RBI in learning situations and has gone catatonic. He has progressed a lot over the past months and he is extremely willing to try anything that you ask of him. We are having a blast every time that we play and he is teaching me so much!

The Eight Principles

1. Horsemanship is natural.
2. Don’t make or teach assumptions.
3. Communication is two or more
individuals sharing and understanding
an idea.
4. Horses and humans have mutual
responsibilities.
5. The attitude of justice is effective.
6. Body language is the universal language.
7. Horses teach humans and humans
teach horses.
8. Principles, purpose and time are the
tools of teaching.

***************************
The 8 Responsibilities

There are four responsibilities for the
horse and four for the human.

FOR THE HORSE:

FOR THE HUMAN:
1. Don’t act like a predator.
2. Have an independent seat.
3. Think like a horse.
4. Use the natural power of focus.

******************************
The Qualities of a Horseman

1. Heart and Desire
2. Respect
3. Impulsion
4. Flexion
5. Attitude and Focus—Positive, Progressive and Natural
6. Feel
7. Timing
8. Balance
9. Savvy
