Putting the Relationship First by Linda Parelli, Feb Savvy Times
- Anyone can MAKE a horse do stuff--can relationship be so good horse OFFERS to do things?
- Not putting relationship first if worried about getting all compulsories into 10 minutes.
- Its not about the ... if meeting goal is imp Try will feel it????
- Focus first on her confidence, motivation, calmness play.
- take the time it takes, take care of the little stuff
- wait for horse to come to you
- does she halter eagerly
- don't push her if reluctant
- give her what she needs now--relaxation, rest, play???
- gain rappore by being appropriate for her horsenality, know what is important to her.
- help her to feel safe
- gain trust by not pushing or forcing, give her choices and allow her to make decisions
- retreat if loses confidence
- not tricking
- repeating til relaxed
- being consistent
- its a game
- do the opposite
- be subtler
- not repeating over and over
- enjoy the challenge
- encourage her to use her energy
- give her constructive things to do patterns
- be progressive.
