[@bobjohnson1587]

First, you need a horse, of course! lol 😉

Great explanation! Thank you! Really enjoy the spiritual aspects of this video. My Arabian has taught me a whole new level of spirituality with horses. He demands that i be completely in the present moment with him ❤ Horses are such amazing sentient souls, here on earth to teach people a whole new level, we just have to be willing to truly see & hear them...

[@americanmustangschool1578]

Yes! I totally agree. And I love Arabian horses. I had one in my string for many years. His name was Scirroco. He was so good with children, very affectionate. He was attuned to people very quickly, and helped my other horses develop that skill. I miss him. You have one of the best accountability partners on the planet! I’m so thankful you have each other. Thank you for caring, and I appreciate you sharing the love of horses with me.

I love how you refer to horses as our accountability partners! A good reminder to always see ourselves through our horse's eyes. I do believe that Arabians & Mustangs are two of the most primal breeds a person can have the honor to be around. That's really neat that your Arabian loved children! My Tajzlan does too! He is so gentle with them, just comes natural to him. He amazes me every day ❤ Thank you again for sharing your gift with us, just found your channel!​@americanmustangschool1578

Thank you for sharing your philosophy on helping horses and humans to become better in all the worlds we live in. I'm right down the road from you in Moore Co. and am trying to build a connection with my newish paint mare. She's 17 and thinks she doesn't have anything new to learn so it's a challenge for me as a novice handler. Your approach might be what we need. BTW I volunteer for Prancing Horse Therapeutic Riding Center, which serves veterans as well as people with disabilities. Sounds like you're doing similar work.

Thank you! And thank you for volunteering to help others with therapeutic horse riding. Let me know if I can help, neighbor!

She’s such a sweet horse.

Why this wingling with the lead rope? Horses don't do that to each other, they use body language by walking towards the horse they want to move. Apart from that, great video!

[@americanmustangschool1578]

Thanks for your question. To teach others, it’s much more efficient and effective to wiggle the lead rope, rather pushing or pulling on the lead rope. We are humans, asking horses to come into the human element. We humans can use halters and lead ropes to ask questions. If we were horses, we would ask like horses. Now, as we use lead ropes in the beginning, we have an understanding that we will depend less on them as the relationship grows. Then, we will be able to communicate similar to horses at liberty. We have to start somewhere, and in teaching others, this was the best way based on the many different people at many different levels of skill, abilities, understanding and experience. Very good question, and again, thank you for asking.

@@americanmustangschool1578 Thank you. But teaching humans is just as easy to understand a soft pressure on the lead rope to get the horse to back up, at the same time take a step towards the horse. (Same with soft pulling the leadrope, take a step back, invite the horse in). This is also more easy to imitate at iberty. I don`t understand why wiggling should be more efficient than pushing/pulling the lead rope? That wiggling is a "Parelli-concept". Best regards from Norway

@@anne-grethemichaelsen5789check out some of my other videos. Maybe that would help you understand. I think you might be focusing on something that is insignificant in terms of the overall experience. If you want to pull on your horse, go ahead. I just show one concept that has proven to be very successful on every horse over two decades of implementation

[@anne-grethemichaelsen5789]

@@americanmustangschool1578 I think you misunderstand what I mean. Pulling on my horse is not something I do, never. Wiggling the leadrope to get the horse to back of is not something I do either.

This shit has become cultish

[@americanmustangschool1578]

Thanks for chiming in! I agree, it’s becoming increasingly clear that this appeals to a select few with eyes to see and ears to hear. It’s definitely a different perspective on self study.
