Natural horsemanship yard near Aylesbury

You're likely to end up with a lot of my way is better than your way. Natural horsemanship is covers such a variety of training methods. You'd be better off setting up a good common sense yard with a round pen included for the wannabe whisperers, then picking one trainers methods whom you follow and look for like minded people

I think I know what you mean. However - it's just horsemanship, and not the sole province of someone wearing a cowboy hat Most trainers lumped into the natural horsemanship category dislike the term as there's nothing natural about the human relationship with the horse.

Have a look at this site, as these guys are already doing something not too far off what you seem to be thinking, although they are part of the Intelligent Horsemanship network rather than covering all bases... http://whisperingback.co.uk/livery/ Personally, I'd be far more inclined to go for something like this (or the yard I'm on at the moment, which is heaven as it has genuinely unrestricted turnout) than a lot of the yards I see on my travels.

Yes I have met the people that run that yard, they are fab I am really into intelligient horsemanship as I love that they embrace new ideas and methods instead of 'this is the one set way, and the only way'. Some really good points there, thank you!

Actually some of the worst aggression I have seen is from Linda Parelli and the one eyed horse! The video is on you tube

Yes that video is awful. I am not making excuses for her and I am not a parelli fan myself, but I guess we all do have bad days and do things we wish we hadn't and I'm sure she really regrets reacting like that and treating the horse in that way. None of us are perfect, just as no one set way of working with horses is perfect/the right way! Its all about seeing what works for the individual, horse and human alike!
