I like to be pleasant - and helpful if at all possible - but I can't be doing with that much fiction.

I'm fairly sure OP is a very young teen or a troll (or both).

Yes, I suspect she's extremely young, and genuinely believes herself to be "experienced" but when challenged, indulged in a bit of fantasy to try to convince us. :rolleyes3:

I'm just glad the internet didn't exist when I was young, hot-headed and prone to silly outbursts. :redface3: The idea of a thread like this hanging around to embarrass one later is not good.

Very true - but in another respect, maybe it's best for a young person to learn the hard lesson of 'not being able to fool those in the know' through the anonymity of the net...
 
OP, I don't tend to agree with the idea/conception of 'Natural Horsemanship', it's former name was 'Horse Sense' and before that 'Common Sense'.

People putting a pretty ribbon bow around a basic concept and advertising it as 'Natural Horsemanship', 'Intelligent Horsemanship' or any other new trendy label is a marketing devise, that in the wrong hands can cause very dangerous behaviour from a horse in the hands of a Novice.

Either you have a natural instinct with horses or you don't. Without it, learning anothers methods may get you so far, but likely soon out of comfortable depth as all horses cannot be viewed and handled as 'one and the same'.

A horse looking forward to seeing you is not the same as respect.

However, I agree that a Pro should help you with this horse, please be careful in your choice.

Too true. When I was very young indeed (before many here were born :redface3: ) my pal and I used to set out with bags of bits of bread, veg scraps and Polos and cycle round looking for other peoples' horses to "treat" with our junk. :eek3: Whole fields of horses came to recognise our arrival and came cantering over whinnying excitedly.

It was nothing whatsoever to do with horsemanship or respect. :rolleyes3:

Haha. No-one ever told us it wasn't a good thing to do. We'd have been really surprised to be told the horse owners weren't glad of our "kindness". :redface3:

This is by far the most amazing troll post I've seen in a while! Thanks OP for providing some entertainment whilst I'm struggling to sleep.
 
Oh I've seen it with a pelham too - but you'd hope said person would not purport to be very experienced (I know I know!)
