I guess it's one of those words that is put into another context and then gets a whole new meaning. We are seeing the evolution of language happening, right now. ;) Well, it's only semantics after all, I'm also really looking forward to some more information about the exercises. And Stina, that video is really beautiful. Haha, another Dutchy, didn’t see that coming! :D Your explanation makes a lot of sense, Marja.

Stina, your video is absolutely amazing! I've put the principles of Paddock Paradise in practice myself, but the area I have to my disposal is peanuts compared to yours... That is truely heavenly PARADISE, and not just for horses... (BTW, I contacted you by e-mail with a question). Hi Brenda, I'm Dutch too :-) and had given the word 'überstreichen' some thought too. I know the equestrian meaning of the German exercise 'Zügel (= rein) überstreichen'. As far as I'm informed it refers to a single riding exercise to test the horse's willingness to follow your hand down when slowly releasing the reins. Doing this, your hand strokes over (= überstreichen) the horse's mane in a forward direction. Maybe Carolyn chose this expression because it is indeed a test for the horse's softness and willingness, and she added a few more exercises with the same purpose. Am I close Carolyn?

Uberstreichen, as far as I understand, can mean quite a few things. Uber means 'over' or 'on top' and streichen can mean things like 'to stroke' or 'to draw'. So it means as much as 'stroking over'. The noun Uberstreichen acutally means coat topping. I guess, in horseworld it may refer to the idea that you use them to refine responses in your horse, rather than create a new response. Well, that's as far as my school German goes (I'm Dutch, not German). I just liked to share this because the way a word is build up, sometimes says a lot about what people mean by it.

I have been so fortunate to learn from Carolyn this weekend directly in person and I appreciate it so much. It is now 16 months since we started our cooperation and online coaching and yesterday was the first time I could experience lessons at Carolyns Ranch. I don't think you saw this small video, Carolyn, but you have taught me to bring so much love to my horse training and meditation as well. Here is a video clip on sharing territory, I have spent hours, days and weeks in my chair to find the connection I read about in Carolyns book and what Carolyn told me was possible. I still enjoy very much sharing territory and spending time with my horses. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Mg436WNu4g Thank you and lets continue our hearty and inspirational journey together. Love Stina Dear all and dear Carolyn
