Focus on the Sideways
Game
By Pat Parelli
Backwards and sideways
have everything to do with your horse's impulsion and emotional
fitness - which influences almost everything else your horse does.
This is the sixth in a series examining the Parelli Natural Horse-Man-Ship
(PNH) Seven Games and their role in establishing leadership as well
as building a language between you and a horse... any horse. |
Successful Trailer Loading
By Ellen Ofstad
Loading is something many people don't think
about doing until the day that the horse needs to be transported
somewhere. Often they start out very patiently with the horse, but
as the clock keeps ticking, the stress begins to show, and the situation
often gets more and more out of control.

What A Miasm Means for Your Horse
By Tanya Nolte
A miasm may be inherited across generations,
acquired, or acute, and an individual can have more than one, but
only one will be active at any one time. Miasms are an energetic
concept of disease that transcend the commonly held belief that
illness is explicable in purely physical terms, and are clearly
about why a patient may manifest a disease.

Whole Mouth Equilibration: Restoring the
Horse's Top Line
By Spencer LaFlure
To me, it stands to reason that if a horse
is unable to move the lower jaw forward and backward and right and
left and his neck freely from side to side, and up and down as they
were intended to move, the muscles along the top line of the horse
connected with and affected by the lack of movement of the head
and neck will not be able to get strong and developed. Without these
strong, well-defined and developed muscles, how could a horse be
at the peak of his performance and ability?
