This is how you (and everyone else) will know you're a NH geek:-
You talk about it, constantly, and its your special gift to be able to "personality-type" every other horse & rider combination on the yard.
Your idea of bliss is going to (yet another) Parelli workshop.
Your special idea of bliss is to take an unbelieving friend, coz that way you'll hopefully make another disciple.......
Your horse is barefoot, treeless, bitless, and can demonstrate join-up and all the Parelli games........ basically because that's all you ever do with it. However you never actually ride it, as you know that you just need to keep working on the groundwork and ridden work will come later.
Your male pin-ups are Michael Peace and Monty Roberts.
When you're with your horse and encounter a problem; your brain automatically engages "think equus" and you think what Monty Roberts/Michael Peace would do if they were riding your horse.
You had an argument with your OH the other day; it was all because you'd told him that he wasn't being an effective herd leader and you both needed to do some "bonding" and learn "join up".
When you're not actually doing NH with your horse, you're practising join up and Parelli games with the dog/cat, kids........ and OH if you're stuck.
You offered a friend a lift in your car the other day: they saw your Parelli stick, long rope and halti and declined politely, saying it was OK they'd get the bus.
All the books/DVD's are to do with NH. You simply don't read or watch anything else.
You've practically bankrupted yourself on attending various NH workshops; you want to go to the next Monty Roberts demo but know you can't afford it, so you've told OH a friend has offered to pay for you as she owes you a favour. Then you go on-line and pay with your credit card.
At work you were asked to do your yearly self-appraisal....... phrases like "good herd leader", "dominant mare" and "joined-up" kept creeping in.
At the yard you talk incessantly about NH; so everyone else avoids you like the plague. You hardly notice, but you yearn for them to convert and find enlightenment like you have.
