It may have been said that Mark and I are a little skeptical of the whole Intelligent Horsemanship/Natural Horsemanship/Pat Parelli (and any others that make horse training a cult!!) philosophy on horse training. Tending to go more for basic common sense and manners but we may now have seen the light you know and its all due to the following book....
In the book Kelly says we must look for the good in every horse and pictures a smart little grey show pony, beautifully turned out and working into a nice outline. He appears to be a safe and kind ride for his young jockey while still having a lot of quality about him. Kelly says (paraphrased, or not particularly accurate as I don't actually own the book!!) "This pony, for example, is good at being white"
WTF?!!!!!!!!!! Gobsmacked, just Gobsmacked!
