I believe in natural horsemanship is essential for a thorough understanding of horses

Hi Everyone

I am doing serious research into the understanding of these terms, and the popularity of this type of work in the UK today.

Can people tell me if they have strong opinions/experiences pro or con re; this type of work, whether its Kelly Marks, Parelli or some other form?

Or even Equine assisted therapy or learning, what are people feelings and experiences in this work?

Please feel free to email me directly if you want to discuss this privately.

I look forward to getting some great feedback from the great group of horse and hound forum users.

Best Wishes

Lisa

Ridewell, sorry hun but it does make me query your claims to be undertaking some serious research if you can't even get the title of your poll to make sense. And then your options are a) way too limited and simple for such an enormous topic and b) way too flippant for "serious" research. Try again and I'd be pleased to respond.
 
It would be useful to define 'natural horsemanship'. Your last answer seems to imply it is incompatible with ridden work, while your post title seems to connect it to horse psychics (is that what you mean by animal communication?) which is an odd connection.
 
Not sure what you are asking? I think Natural horsemanship is a BS term realy , as the only way you could acheve it would be to turn a herd of horses out into a massive area and just let them get on with it without any human intervention!!!???, maybe you could ask
1 is it right to screw about with a horse ending up getting it confused and unridable..
2 work with a horse to get him to understand what you want by presure and release and forming a partnership with understanding...
3 beat its spirit and use alsorts of gadgets and force him into acepting being ridden, jumping high enough or put there head in the "right" position...

Sorry Ridewell, if this is serious research think again.
A lot of people have some understanding of what NH is, but it's nothing to do with animal communication.
Unfortunately, NH covers such a wide variety of training approaches that no survey in such broad terms could make a lot of sense.
"NH" is not an alternative to riding.
etc etc

p.s. a serious survey needs to avoid spelling mistakes and abbreviations.
 
My problem with Natural Horsemanship (Kelly Marks driven) is that I could see how her methods were working, but when they stopped working, she started to mention getting an animal communicator to "talk" to my horse. I pretty much lost all faith in her then.
 
Agree with most of the others. You need a definition (NH has so many meanings. lol). AC is nothing to do with NH whatsoever. You need non biased questions for research as well. For example, many NH peeps ride. Shock horror. :D

^^ This. Don't use 'text speak' for a serious survey it devalues it in my eyes immediately.
 
as above ridewell ...... but also in your post you ask about people experiences / understanding of equine assited learning. While I am involved with that there are no questions at all about it in the poll.:confused:


None of the questions in the poll are about peoples understanding or perception ... and if opinions are being saught then a different format is needed ;)
