Her name is Della and she was so helpful!! I'm very psyched about connecting with the Parelli community in Ashland! Parelli, for those that don't know, is a method of natural horsemanship that teaches both human and horse how to build a cooperative relationship, a partnership really. It requires that the human partner learn to speak 'horse,' not verbally of course. What is interesting about speaking horse is that it is mostly body language that is involved! And connecting with the horse through the body, hers and mine. The training aids merely help us connect up in a way that the communication can happen. Such interesting stuff! I joined what is called the Savvy Club and there is a great local community in the area Della invited me to be part of. Can it get any better than this??
Dakota is definitely showing her age. I mean her young age! She can be pretty bratty at times, but she is also sweet and confident and very smart, which I love! The Parelli work really suits her and she is responding to it well.
