Amen! Pat himself fully admits these "games" have been around for ages (ie., they are not new). His sharing of knowledge to the average person (namely - ME) enabled one to understand and communicate effectively with their horse. I am far from perfect and I learn from my horse each and every day. I listen to and trust my horse each and every day. I never take our relationship for granted and my rapport with him is everything to me. It brings me much joy every day that I arrive at the barn (I board out) that when Henry spots me from "acres" away in the paddocks, he lifts his head and begins his trek over to greet me. I never catch him ... he *always* catches me ... that is the BEST feeling in the world, being wanted by your equine spirit, buddy, partner, friend. Heather still and always will be Playing Naturally with my bestest pony pal friend ... Simple things - like many Parelli and other natural horsemanship techniques may be old school for some and others this is the newest style of teaching/learning. If it makes a better connection between horse and owner, isn't that what we're looking for?
