 Learn About Natural Horsemanship
Most people have heard of horse whispering and natural horsemanship. But what is it? Many people dismiss the notion of natural horsemanship before understanding what it is.
Natural horsemanship has been around for centuries and has been used by many successful horse people. It emphasises on
equine psychology, body language, and herd dynamics to communicate and work effectively with our horse and pony partners. Natural horsemanship is horsemanship that makes sense--to us and the horses. It's about good horsemanship and dismisses ideas of physical and mental abuse.
Their are many different approaches and theories when it comes to natural horsemanship and I believe they all have something of value. Some of the big names in natural horsemanship today include: John Lyons, Pat Parelli, Ray Hunt, Tom Dorrance, Clinton Anderson, Monty Roberts and Gawani Pony Boy. What works for one person may not work for the next. Everyone must find their own path on becoming a good horseperson. At horses-and-ponies.com, good horsemanship is what it's all about and we will be including a wide variety of quality articles in this section.
