i trained my young horse in a individual way i used parelli and just common sense i spent hours just messing about playing in school i started him all on my own in halter over a year never any help can park him up by anything to get on never hassle or force used just time and patience i done some clinics standing on pedestal walking over see saw going through tight gaps etc everyone gave me abuse but a while ago i hacked out with a couple of people had to cross a small bridge i had no problem at all the others had to try to get off then could not get back on i have my horses trust. everyone is different its mainly common and horse sense but all those who said i was cruel or stupid are silenced as i can go were ever i like narrow gaps over stuff under stuff with little problem never hit to go past anything he gets a look a pat and a nudge with leg and off we go and that's the way i wanted it. time spent with my horse is time well spent
 
Good for you but you have to appreciate that everyone has different ideas and methods that work for them too.

It sounds like you've had a good start with your horse but it is still early days, so it would be foolish to have a smug attitude towards your horses training - you will have many more challenges ahead than mounting safely walking over a bridge!
 
My horse does the same on normal horsemanship methods!!!!

Well done with your horse, but it's not the only method to get good results.
 
both my horses walk over little bridges - one is a wise old boy at 20, and the other is 5 and scared of EVERYTHING!! Older one has also been used for a le trec demo and didnt bat an eyelid at seesaw etc either. And I have NEVER used parelli.

Glad things are going well at the moment for you and well done for what you have achieved, but just saying some horses just dont give a rats bum about stuff like that anyway, also there are other ways to train horses to accept strange obstacles like that that don't involve parelli.

Different things work for different people :)

Good on you for showing initiative in also using your own common sense alongside the Parelli methods! I believe that picking and choosing the aspects of the various "methodologies" out there that best suit you and your horse is the way forward!
 
I have never done Parelli with my horse and don't intend to start now :).

My mare has just turned 6 and I have had her since she was just gone 3.

She is the yard nanny as she is so honest, willing and brave :)

My previous horse, who I had from a similar age was an absolute loon and we didn't have many people who would willingly hack out with us :(.

They have both been treated the same by me, that they are radically different is down to their breeding, nothing to do with me :).

Each to their own :D:D.
 
If you use comma's and full stops it may be easier to read.

But essentially I think what you're saying is that your way worked. Good for you.
 
of course i have a long way to go but a good foundation is everything I'm by no means smug and I'm not saying my way is right or wrong every method needs patience and time and can be done both well and successful or done bad and unsuccessful what I'm getting at is rushing does nothing but cause problems. i have had to take the snide comments and remarks and people basically taking the Micky when there horses are far from perfect simply saying that time spent preparing your horse in its home environment to some of the things its likely to face while out is never a bad thing

I'd say your grammer and spelling were pretty good actually. And sticking a full stop in here and there is a relatively simple thing to do. All you need to do is read back what you've typed, and when you pause put in a comma. And when you stop put in a full stop....
 
when I read your message I put the emphasis on the phrase "common sense". Every horse is different, each one takes a slightly different approach which makes them so interesting.

I just watched on Monday evening, someone (racing guy) backing a rather feral youngster (not TB). He was incredibly patient (expected), didn't give up (expected) and was changing his approach to meet the horses requirements. I learnt an awful lot just from watching his and listening to his commentary. Mind you, this particular youngster has proved to a: have considerably flashier natural paces then was originally thought b: much MUCH bolder jump.
