Parelli Principle #5, "An attitude of justice is effective."
I had taken this to mean, 1) don't be mean; 2) don't be impatient. Of course it does, but now I understand it to mean much more. "Consequences" in parelliville is not in reference to punishment, but to what happens after what happens happens. It is another way of thinking about phases. Start with phase 1, the gentlest means to convey your meaning, but progress to the next phases to be effective. "An attitude of justice is effective".
I have not been very effective, lately. Not a moral failing, just a misunderstanding of how a horse asks a question. Or, how Zaina asks questions.
Horses teach humans.
