Hello!

Fallen Asleep

One of my passions is working with horses and training them.

We all train horses 5 days a week, for 2-3 hours. It’s hard, but wonderfully rewarding to see what you can do with these beautiful horses.

Unlike a lot of traditional training we train our horses with the Parelli method. If you haven’t heard of Parelli, you’ll be in for an absolute treat: http://www.parellinaturalhorsetraining.com/index.html

One of the wonderful things was this photograph session. Although this was done in April 2010, it was the first sign that what I was doing was really working.

Because when we did this photo session, Tigerlily was in the paddock with all the other horses. All we simply did was walk into the paddock, take her to one side, and pop Sasha on-top.

What was amazing was, Sasha was able to sit on her, without a bridle, or head-collar, nor anyone holding her or standing nearby. She stood perfectly still for 45 minutes while we took these photographs and even behaved when a few of the other horses popped over to see what was going on.

Sasha even lay down on her bottom!
