 Judy, are you planning to use a bosal when you start Charm?


No, probably the rope halter, altho I started Vinur with absolutely nothing.

What I'd do with him, is walk down to the end of the driveway to pick up the 
mail.  He'd be in his pasture, but follow along.  Then I'd climb the fence, 
and ask him to come over to it, and slide onto him, and he'd take me back up 
to the house.

I could try something similar with Charm.  We'll see when the time comes.

The bosal is not so good for working with gaited horses and gait, but the 
reason I don't use it at all is that it's kind of stiff and I want something 
more pliable for the horse's face.

speaking of, Parelli has this series on RFDTV now, I am really
enjoying it.  Now he is working with pedro, a problem Firesian.  Well,
he rode his horse driving pedro in drive lines, but not to a bit, to a
rope halter.  It was awesome!  What amazed me is this Pedro had never
been driven, had no bit, and the way the drive lines were he was
moving off just the slight pressure of the drive line dropping against
his shoulder/side.  very interesting!
