David Lichman Course - Holland July 2010

Posted Sat, 07/31/2010 - 12:03 by whindilbon  whindilbon

Three days of study with 5* Parelli Professional David Lichman was an absolute treat.  He was inspirational and educational.  I will be trying very hard to see David next time he visits Europe and would encourage others to do the same - you will not be disappointed!

Friday

Lots of talk about training methods and which work better for horses in different situations.  This is an area that has recently become of interest to me, so I was very interested to hear David's opinions and experiences.

The 8 Principles and 8 Mutual Responsibilities

Posted Sat, 03/20/2010 - 17:40 by whindilbon  whindilbon

For those of us that need a written reminder because our memories are shorter than goldfish!!!  Yep - that includes me!!!

 

The 8 Principles

1. Horsemanship is natural.

2. Don't make or teach assumptions.

3. Communication is 2 or more individuals sharing and understanding an idea.

4. Horses and humans have mutual responsibilities (4 each)*.

5. The attitude of justice is effective.

6. Body language is the universal language.

7. Horses teach humans and humans teach horses.

Savvy Immersion

Posted Wed, 03/17/2010 - 21:47 by morbox  morbox

A big thankyou to Paula Riella, Darna and Gareth. I just attended Paula's 2 day clinic as a spectator and is was fantastic.

I learnt loads and Paula was ever patient with the endless questions!

If anyone has the opportunitly to attend one of Paula's Riella's clinics it is well recommended.

I'm sure that within a short time Darna is going to acheive her level 3 and Gareth his level 2 - what a great relationship these guys have with their horses.
