Pat and Linda Parelli
When he hesitated, I slightly lifted my training stick for a moment to help guide him, encouraging that he try. Since we have been practicing moving forward over and through all kinds of obstacles, he understood my request and knew he could trust me. I repeated this gentle communication, and before long, he walked right into the horse trailer.
Because of my approach with Chevy, he is coming along in leaps and bounds in less than two months. I have made him a promise: Never will I punish him for being a wild horse, scared of a situation, or unsure of what's right or wrong. In return, I see in his face a look of calm gratitude for my understanding and acceptance of who Chevy is: a student of domestic sociology!
