Singing In The Rain…With Durango And DeAnna – Fun With Horses

Durango loves attention.  He is always begging to be the Chosen One.  He and DeAnna Fitzgerald had a great time at one of my Parelli Level 3/4 Clinics.  He was not forced to do any of this.  One of his favorite things is to lay down for a treat.  He loves to pick up the cones and carry them around. 

When you learn to communicate with horses and they know you are actually listening to them, it’s amazing what they will offer.  He is a Half-Arabian, Half-Saddlebred.  Because he respects and trusts us, he is not worried about his safety.  Horses love Parelli Natural Horsemanship, because you don’t make them do things, you ask them. 

If you would like to learn how to build a relationship with your horse based on mutual respect and trust, come and join us at one of our upcoming Parelli Natural Horsemanship Clinics!
