I think any training done on any horse has to be individualized for each horse. Just yesterday I received some advice regarding Dagur's progress that I know I won't follow, simply because it would set Dagur up for failure and he doesn't need that right now. However, I did tuck the advice away for the future, and maybe I'll use it someday. We are the only advocates the horses have. wanda
RE: [IceHorses] PNH games
>>> I know a horse is a horse, but would the personality of the Icelandic respond differently to PNH? Overall, I'd say not really...but the INDIVIDUAL horse's personality makes a lot of difference. I think it's not uncommon to see the Parelli's and their instructors working with some fairly "hot" horses, and I do think there's some differences in how you might work with a "hot" versus cold horse. But, Icelandic's aren't the only "cold" horses, and not all Icelandic's are equally cold. (And when you get right down to it, the words "cold" and "hot" are oversimplifications...) >>> There's a clinic coming to Moncton in the fall so I'm planning to attend--maybe by then I'll be more comfortable with it all.

> I know a horse is a horse, but would the personality of the Icelandic > respond differently to PNH? I think the Icelandics tend to "get" the games pretty easily; especially if they are one of the Icelandics who have "learned to learn" ahead of time. It seems to me that the horses who have "learned to learn" catch on a little quicker than the horses who just "do as they are told". Don't worry about it, tho, Virginia; since you and the horses are both new to the games, it'll take a little while to be comfortable with what you are doing. If you can get to a PNH demo, or a clinic (as an auditor), or maybe go see Janet in VT, it may be helpful to you. Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
[IceHorses] PNH games
I've just started Level 1 about a month ago and haven't been able to put a lot of time into it because I have to work around the arena schedule which means Sat & Sun evenings are usually free for me, other than that my games have been limited to Friendly while handling. Both horses are fine with the Friendly game with the Carrot Stick although they both seem to be holding still like they're waiting for something to happen. Gat is always like that with or without the CS and always has been since we've had her--I'm wondering if that's her nature to always be so cautious. I've gone through all 7 games with both Gat and Orri--not perfectly but we've done them. Gat is easier to work with and seems to understand everything although both horses seem to think I want to lunge them when I yo-yo them out, and Orri doesn't want to yo-yo back in. Gat will pick up all her feet from one side, no problem. Orri won't pick up any foot--it's like we're back to square one with that. Both are figuring out to lower their heads from my hand at their poll. All in all I can't complain -- it's slow coming along because I don't have a place to play with them but once the weather gets better I'm hoping to be able to use the outside arena if it's not boggy or else go in the pasture or side yard when the arena is used. I know a horse is a horse, but would the personality of the Icelandic respond differently to PNH? V
