Catch Up


While working in class, they had some Parelli videos displaying on the side of the wall, this was the a new stimuli to Rose, she watched it intently. At one point everybody had the horses gathered around, and all at once during a video a couple of horses were running front on, all the other horse spooked. We concluded that the horses thought the videoed horses were going to run into them. This clip was about trail loading.


This clip included ideas on how to have horses walk over uncomfortable things for them. Rose wasn't as interested in this one as she was trailer loading. I think one day, it would be fun, if all the students brought snacks and everything, and watched a movie, and let the horses we are working with, join us.


Rose knows its easier to push the barrel, instead of jumping over it. In this video she pauses when she goes through the barrel because of the other horse in the background. She must have been in her own little world when pushing the barrel.

Has your horse ever scratched you and just won't stop, well I have gotten Rose to stop when I flatten my head, thus I will scratch her head if I have it in another form, then have the stop sign. This video doesn't show this happening, but it still goes along the principle. Which is to stop. I have yet to teach Rose to be a good actor and react what we have been learning so you can the best points that has happened. So please forgive the videographer.
