I spent 30 minutes doing an undemanding time. Blu seemed bored out of his gourd, but he stayed with me the whole time. Then I played with him at liberty. I had a saddle pad and let him mouth it, throw it around, etc. for a while. I did very tentative stick to me after a zone 3 "passenger lesson" with my arm over his back. Then I played with him out in the pasture. He cantered with me, trotted exuberantly to me…it was a good time.
Natural Horsewoman Out.
Natural horsemanship is a way of being with the horse, not a discipline of riding. It is much more than riding in itself. It is the human adapting to the ways of the prey animal to form a trusting relationship with a prey animal. There are so many resources out there, and this blog is my journey with horses as I set out on this conquest of knowledge.

About Me
- HorsesNaturally
- I am a young horsewoman with a million things on my mind. I have been a student of the horse all my life. As a little girl, I had a desire to understand horses on deeper levels. I believed that there was no such thing as a bad horse, and I believed that all horses were beautiful. One might say that I was a naive child, but I guess I don't have an excuse anymore, because I still believe all of that, and Parelli Natural Horsemanship is helping expand on this perspective.
