Re: [RC] At the end of my rope.. - Sisu West Ranch"....Also, simply following someone's "method" (be it Parelli or anyone else)does not a horseman make--that ability to "read" the horse does not always come with the tapes and the lectures..." One of our cultural weaknesses is that we think, as proper logical westerners, that every skill and everything can be reduced to words and taught by verbal instruction. Some people learn well this way, others less so. The other way is exemplified by the "Zen" approach of easterners. Many things are learned and done on a non verbal level. You just have to do it until you "know" how to do it properly. About all the instructor can do is to reinforce you when you do it right. I have found that I have a hard time learning physical skills by traditional instruction, unless I already know most of the activity. If I had had similar problems with math and science I would have been labeled a "slow learner" and most probably spent my life flipping bergers somewhere.
