'Understanding how a horse thinks is by far one of the most important
pieces of information a budding horseman or woman can own' -Sandy Lang
Horse Psychology - based on the Parelli horsenality system.
Horsenality is the term Linda and Pat Parelli coined to refer to understanding horses through their basic personality types. You learn whether your horse is confident, fearful, dominant or shy, introverted or extroverted, left brain or right brain.
Learning the horsenality system helps not only the horse, but the owner too becomes more balanced, centered and confident. I learned this system way back in 2007 when Linda first brought it to life in Florida. As an enthusiastic Parelli Instructor at that time, I instantly was drawn to the logic of: if we understand what our horse is thinking, feeling, and what his hopes and dreams are, we have a far better opportunity to help him develop into a willing, confident partner. In my personal horsemanship journey, and in my business, 'Sandy Lang Horsemanship', I continue refining my knowledge of the horsenality quadrants and I am grateful to understand how each of my horses thinks and why they do what they do. I know what offers them safety and comfort; they feel connected to me; trust me; and have learned to learn because their is no mental or emotional block stopping them. If you watch my videos with me playing with my horses, you will see the eagerness they exibit to be with me, and follow me. As my horse's education continues, I find teaching them becomes easier and is extremely fulfilling.
Do you remember when you first got into horses? You knew the basics, how to put a halter on, lead your horse, brush and pick up his feet. You knew what you knew, and you didn't know what you didn't know. We draw from the knowledge we have, and when knowledge is limited, you are limited. It's an empowering feeling to read a horse and instinctively know how to make him feel safe, comfortable, motivated and enjoy his job.
Understanding a horse's needs, likes, dislikes, and fears is important if you are trying to help a horse cope with something. If you are considering buying a horse, understanding the quadrants will help you make an educated decision on what type of horse you may want in your barn.
To discover depth in your relationship, engage meaningful conversation with your horse, educate yourself in the study of horsenaltiy.
