[RC] Tao of Horses/Parelli - Kristi SchaafThings have really changed in Parelli Land since Tao
of Horses was published and that comment was made. In
the last few years there has been a HUGE push to help
people learn emotional fitness. Parelli hired a
confidence coach (my label, not theirs) named
Stephanie Burns and she plays a major role in the new
Level 1 pack. In fact, the focus became so much about
helping people with fear or who were new to horses and
had no confidence around them, that the 'long time'
Parelli students began grumbling that the focus on the
horse had been lost. So, probably in response to that,
the most recent focus by the PNH organization is
helping people learn how to determine an individual
horse's innate personality traits and then how best to
communicate with that type of horse.

I am reading the Tao of Horses and what I just
finished reading was her discussion on how many
trainers, including Parelli and other natural
horsemanship type people, have all these very good
techniques but fail or are scared of addressing the
emotional and mental fitness of the people
working/playing with the horses. She states that
Parelli mentions that people need to be emotional fit
(collected I believe is his term) but doesn't state
how to achieve it.
