Learning About Natural Horsemanship
A lot of us natural horsepeople, we are just obsessed with finding out more. So we turn to clinics, lessons, books and DVDs, and some of us even haul out the old VCR and play some NH videos. There are so many incredible ways to learn out there – so many knowledgeable people who have so much to share.
Personally, I love Dr. Robert M. Miller’s books (check out his website). He is so insightful – well-spoken, with interesting ideas and a obvious love of horses. His writing leaves me feeling so inspired, ready to play with my horses in a whole new way. I’m part-way through his newest book, Natural Horsemanship Explained, but, being the mother of a one-year-old and running a business, reading is a luxury that I seldom have these days. Someone really needs to start making audio books for those of us who aren’t able to sit down too often except en route to the feed mill or tack store!
This week, I have the honor of participating in a clinic with legendary horseman, Jack Brainard. Reading and watching DVDs is great, but working hands-on with the masters is invaluable. I am so excited about meeting this amazing horseman and about the numerous epiphanies that he will no doubt provoke. The only problem – after a summer that has been heavy in office work (business set-up, you know the drill!) and much lighter in riding, my body is terrified of the four consecutive full days of riding!
What is your favorite way to learn about NH? Who do you find especially helpful?
