JUNE 9 2011 FAWN ANDERSON LESSON

(On Line, 60 mins) Zaina's lesson with Fawn Anderson was powerful. We used the session to check out Zaina's trailer loading confidence, and after 3 hours of helping Z become more confident, and dealing with some leadership issues (homework), we were on our way. Fawn was the epitome of Parelli Professionalism - demonstrating a level of adaptability, knowledge, experience, wisdom and compassion that one would be hard pressed to match in normalville. Once we arrived at Zaina's new home (a journey which included Fawn helping Gail - THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP GAIL!) change a trailer tire - more professionalism - Zaina disembarked out a little fast, but in good mental, emotional, and physical shape. I was able to help her check out the new place, and she settled in with minimal angst. Zaina is RBE, and her ability to make this move, and transition, with relative ease is a testament to Parelli, and its professional team.

AUGUST 21 2011 RON PYNE LESSON

Four and half hours of knowledge enhancement and savvy inspiration with Ron Pyne ***, supported by Karen Pyne, and the Nova Scotia Parelli gals. 

Expect more; be more provocative; every session take Z to a limit in order to progress.

Reward the slightest try - but be progressive (expect more with each try).

Faster and at a greater distance.

Have a plan (not just what tasks are going to do, but what want to achieve and how - be particular), and be flexible within the plan.

Always be aware of what she is doing - where she is looking, what she is attending to, and if it isn't me, cause her to want to pay attention to me.

Expect Z to pay attention to me, when she isn't, do something to regain attention (be provocative). Might be as little as upping my energy, tossing a bit of sand at her, do as little as it takes - but do it.

Have Z move out of the way, instead of going around her.

Have Z stay out of my bubble.

Backing gets rid of brace.

Backing - point body (finger, belly button) NOT at Z but toward where want her to go!

Hindquarters turn - pressure is where heel would be when riding. Get a response (and transfer this to riding).

Draw back - phase one (rope on ground) for as long as can stand it. Phase 2 (rope off ground but not moving halter) fast, 3, 4 (draw in as quickly as can).

Rub to a halt (remember to be at ease with body).

Scoldings:

- don't rub Z's head hard (stroke downward once)

Praise:

- timing of release

Homework:

Circle game on line, walk each direction 20 revolutions minimal corrections.

Then add trot, but focus on transition (how little does it take) and then go back to walk. Return to walk if transition is emotional. When transition is calm, continue circling. Then same with moving to canter. 

Mounted - same plan. Walk circles (big, little, backing, circles in circles). No trotting until these are established.

  the Humanility Match report today – and it is incredible. I’m familiar with personality assessments through my work as an educator, and gotta say that find many to be shams, so I was skeptical. But this one is in a class by itself. Plus the report provides detailed information about relationships with humans based on the assessment, and strategies for improvements. Priceless.
Then there is the Match with our horsenality assessment – I was in tears. It brought front and centre issues that I have been recognizing, but not dealing with, plus new revelations. Not always easy to accept, but if I didn’t want the truth I wouldn’t be doing Parelli. Invaluable strategies for change. Beyond priceless.





The assessment: I'm an RBI - pretty close to the outermost ring. Avoid conflict; disappear; don't like social events (that I don't have control over), etc. etc.

Biggest application: have to up my energy in order to be the leader Z needs.  I have KNOWN this, but as the report reminds me, as an RBI I'd prefer to not have a confrontation, and am uber-comfortable when things are going well. Sooooo, gotta challenge myself and Z by taking this extra step. Can't use her issues as an excuse for mine,  sigh - more's the pity....
