A bit of a dramatic morning with our ride to the ranch was how my day began. I am trying to be in control of what I focus on, so I discarded some thoughts that would not help my situation in any way and focused on cheering up my roommates and relaxing.
After noon, I realized that I had the phone numbers from some of the other carry-on fast trackers. I got a hold of Sue Ellen and she came to our rescue. The horses were very happy to see us. I had an unfortunate run in with Anna during which I voiced my feelings on being left behind. It would seem that my efforts to discard bad thoughts were for nought because I was actually just stuffing all my bad thoughts.
I was quite contemplative of how I should have been thinking. I spent the afternoon with Dani at home taking notes on Parelli material. Dani and I went to the Ranch in the evening and I played with Blu. I had wanted to ride, but I just got to a good place on the ground and put him away. Playing with Blu helped put things into perspective and I finally came to the true realization that everyone was doing the best with what they had. That is the truth I choose to believe.
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.
