My name is Catherine Nugent, I live in Victoria Australia. I've been studying parelli natural horsemanship for the past 3 years.

This blog is a dedication to my journey to becoming a Parelli Professional. To document my thoughts, ideas, ups & downs as they happen.


In the words of Linda Parelli "get your goal, Keep it & protect it." This is where I will do this.



My Journey To Becoming a Horsewomen


I know I will hit a lot of roadblocks on the way to becoming a horsewomen. But I choose to go to the top & be the very best that I can be.

I know there will be no problems along my the way; only new solutions to find & that I need to think about where I want to go, and who I want to be; think about all the baby steps on the way & every day- work on those.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

OF THE WEEK


* If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten


* Every day I welcome myself to a new level of incompetence
* If your horses says 'no', you either asked the wrong question, or asked the question wrong
* Cause your idea to become his idea, but understand his idea FIRST
* Your horse can only be as brave as you are
* Do it FOR the horse, not TO him
* Natural-Horse-Man-Ship is so old, its new again
* Don't learn the tricks of the Trade, Learn the Trade
* Take the time it takes, so it takes less time
* Trust that he'll respond, but be ready to correct- NOT more one than the other!
* Horses don't need training, they need good leadership
* Horses don't wear wrist watches
* If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything

Session with Diablo



I went out tonight planning to have a play session with Archie. But Diablo just insisted it was his turn. He literally stuck his nose in the halter.

We had a great play, I don't get to spend as much time with him as I'd like. We played a lot of extreme friendly- he over reacts to a lot of things, so I'm trying to desensitise him more- get him to tune into my body energy, not the energy in the stick. We then played some touch-it, he loves this pattern! He's such a smart little guy- a lot like Archie, he gets it & you need to more on...
