When Orri gets too into my space I will shrug my shoulders fast with emphasis but without looking at him and he will back away like I'm a nutbar, it doesn't scare him. I picked that up from Parelli.

Re: [IceHorses] icelandic parelli?
he is my only horse that will "ground > tie". I can drop the lead and he will stand politely while I open the gate, walk thru, stand politely while I close it. Yet the same horse will knock me down and step on my leg when unloading from a trailer at a new house he's never been to before. I want to get where we can walk down the road and do the porcupine game and he will stay in his space and outa mine! You can get there. Part of the reason I like the Parelli games is that it's organized. Now, granted, I don't apply it the same way to every one of my horses - in fact, I don't use it at all with some of the horses who've come here with great manners - I just use what they already know. But that organization can help keep both of you focused the next time you're in a crisis. >>> and then confuse him by smacking him if he gets in your space. You shouldn't need to be rough or aggressive at all. I'll bet he will do great... Karen Thomas, NC

He backed up with me pressing my fingertips to his nose. it was awesome. (the porcupine game). He gets excited and walks all over me. If he gets nervous he wants to be close to me and steps on me or a few times has knocked me down. I have got where I am nervous to even lead him in an excited situation because he just walks all over me. yet at home for instance, walking thru a gate, he is my only horse that will "ground tie". I can drop the lead and he will stand politely while I open the gate, walk thru, stand politely while I close it. Yet the same horse will knock me down and step on my leg when unloading from a trailer at a new house he's never been to before. I want to get where we can walk down the road and do the porcupine game and he will stay in his space and outa mine! Its very hard to train a horse that does nothing wrong at home, that is perfectly mannered then you get him off from home and he's a nut. I am hoping this parelli thing works with him. He is very very special. but its cruel to take a horse that was overimprinted and actually taken into the house onto the sofa cause his momma died, and then confuse him by smacking him if he gets in your space. Would make him neurotic i think! He just wouldnt understand. There has to be another way... and besides, I never want to take the specialness out of him. he is too TOO special. if i can get him where I wiggle the lead rope and he backs off a little that will be so great. If i can get him confident and relaxed at all times, he would be as good a horse as there is! Janice-- yipie tie yie yo

>>> Someone asked what was so parelli about it, but I liked it because it is a >>> normal person trying to do parelli, not a certified official parelli thing. Pat Parelli will be the first to tell you that, when it comes right down to it, nothing is really "so Parelli" about his program. He uses good, sound natural horsemanship methods, but their claim to fame is coming up with the most organized program for the average person to follow. He's quick to give credit to his mentors, like Ronnie Willis and Tom Dorrence to name a couple. get so much more out of seeing it than reading it, and like this woman, she squats down when she does the "come here" part of the yoyo. On the parelli video linda is doing it and she sorta hunkers over. I noticed this woman is tall. Its just interesting to me to see the translations. That "hunkering over" is pretty key. After you get to the point that is instinctive to you, you can do the same thing with just the subtlest tilt of your head. Horses are VERY tuned in to body language, and even a horse that doesn't know the Parelli program will many times respond to the body language they show you. I'm convinced that he Seven Games aren't the "Parelli Games" - they are part of the natural language of horses. Karen Karen Thomas Wingate, NC No virus found in this outgoing message.

Someone said she was speaking norwegian? Someone asked what was so parelli about it, but I liked it because it is a normal person trying to do parelli, not a certified official parelli thing. I like to see normal every day people do things, somehow it helps me and inspires, like clicker training.

On the parelli video linda is doing it and she sorta hunkers over. I noticed this woman is tall. Its just interesting to me to see the translations. Also the horse seems to be getting bored with it, but the woman seems still very focused and enjoying the work. Just interesting to see how others do things. Janice Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
