[jaffa121]

Hello, i wanted to strat training my 3y.o pony kash to do tricks like sit, lie down, playball and others. I need to know how to teach parelli too plz help

Parelli have got DVD's available that might be the best way to start.

echo bev on the dvd if thats the route your interested in. My friend had a spotted pony, bred by a circus family which did loads of tricks-football, bowing, laying, sitting etc he was also taught to put his front feet on his door and from this he had learnt to clamber out of any stable/partion and he also used to sit down now and again when being ridden, so teach tricks wisely i say! good luck

I taught bonnie to apple bob thats quite easey just keep tempting them and us only small amount of water to start so it hits the bottom instead of scaring them,

also to teach them to bow you get a carrot or whatever and start the gently bowing their head and use a voice command at the same time, all you need to do it keep teasing them down further and further,

hope that helps xxx

hi, Ermm Parelli doesn't teach tricks!
Can I ask why do you want to make him sit etc?

humm parelli i thought he promoted non violent training





but yet he show you how to ""train"" your horse to back up by hitting him in the chin with a great big lead rope clip and to back up by hitting your horse with a big orange stick

if you would like to teach your horse trick why dont you have a look for a book called classical circul that helps your to teach your horses trick like rear on command bow spainish walk i use it alot in classical dressage and it show you how to teach your horse these by useing clicker training

I've done parelli and you don't hit them in the chin with a leadrop clip, you shake the leadrope thats all


My old pony used to bow if you pointed at her legs she used to do it ;D
