Dear Horse Friend:
Thank you for your interest in Natural
Horsemanship. We're planning an exciting schedule
for the upcoming year including topics on colt starting,
horsemanship and problem solving.
Our goal is to educate about Natural Horsemanship,
which is the ability to communicate and educate the
horse on there terms by starting on ground zero. It is
important that the horse learns the zero to one before
asking for specific maneuvers. By doing this you and
your horse will be companions.
There are three parts to becoming companions, first
you must have trust in each other, then you can be
friends, so someday you will have a companion for life.
Since the horses instinct is to go into pressure, we
the riders need to teach the horse to give to pressure
in a consistent manner that they can learn on there
terms.
In doing so, we need to be able to read the horse to
determine if they are confused or understand what we are
asking of them. In this process they have to learn right
from wrong by doing little as possible and asking for a
big change, which is giving to pressure. If that doesn't
work, then we do what needs to be done and ask for a
small change.
I hope that I will have the pleasure of working with
you and your horse in the near future.
Sincerely,
Kevin Crane
