Respect

As you read this, my husband and I and our two horses, are at the

Goldi

very beginning of our vacation, a 2-week natural horsemanship course (see www.Parelli.com). Natural Horsemanship puts the dignity of the
horse first, and is about developing a strong relationship of trust and partnership between you and your horse, so fear/intimidation
tactics are entirely left out.  It requires that you respect your horse, and that your horse respects you.   It takes a little longer
at first but you get much better results long term, and you have a horse that WANTS to be with you and is lively and fun rather than
fearful/angry/explosive/catatonic. It's a form of training in self-leadership that's really foundational, and is actually an excellent model  or how to relate to people, too!    I'll let you know what my top 3 lessons are when I get back! 

INSPIRATIONAL PROCRASTIVITY QUOTES OF THE WEEK

"Dignity and Respect has to do with what you are ready, willing, and
able to accept within yourself and in accepting to be able to give
others. It is your personal power to make a difference by being true
to the best within you and letting that truth shine through your
words and actions." ~ Gail Purcell Elliot  ~

"People who try to command respect are wasting their time. Respect
can't be commanded. It has to be earned.."  ~ Unknown ~

Love, success, and happiness,
