We have a Natural Horsemanship Program at Blazing Prairie Stars. This is a training method that puts the horse/human relationship first. We learn how to communicate with the horse using the 7 games horses play with each other in the herd. We also try to recognize the horse’s interpretations of his environment as a prey animal; an animal who perceives each side of his body differently one side at a time; and an animal that processes his experiences according to his current level of social confidence, specifically introversion verses extroversion.
Ironically, we also learn more about communication, play, perceptions, and confidence in ourselves and others while we train and ride using Natural Horsemanship.
