I had a bond , fabulous bond, without respect ! Now the difference is night and day having both integrated . Although it's always a balancing act with my gelding, he's so smart & constantly wants to check in with me to see if he can have the upper hand n smooze me!! As long as i stay diligent and present with respect and bond , we roll well together. Thank You , Alethia WOW, There is a difference between bond and respect… !!!

This has always been a passion and a dream to work with bond and train a filly from the ground up. I also have a 2 year old grandson and wanted him to be a part of the process. In the beginning observing and learning to just share space. So, when my grandson was born I began hunting for a paint filly or foal. With divine guidance I have acquired the perfect paint filly Shiloh is her name. I have never had experience with young horses but did train a horse when I was 10 years old . I lived in a small village and passed by a horse trailer, well, not so much passed as hung around , you see I lived breathed and pretended to be a horse 24/7. Sadly there were no wild horses or horses of any description near by. This summer day was about to change that. I asked the driver of the trailer where he was taking the beautiful appaloosa. In a not so kind manner he gruffly stated that he was taking her to the glue factory. I politely asked him if my father could purchase her for 100 dollars. The man with the trailer happily deposited my first horse and left with a smile and 100 dollars. My dad was a sucker for tears and anything related to saving animals or children. I had no tack and not even a book to guide me. I only had the passion and the patience and a whole lot of time on my hands to play with my new best friend. By the end of the summer she followed me everywhere I rode her without bridle or saddle we played danced and fell in love. For years we had this amazing bond, at the age of 17 I went away to school and my father took over her care . In my 30's I bought a horse and showed field hunter and jumper. This lead me into the world of showing and not so much connecting with my horse. In my 40's I gave up my passion to foster my daughters dreams, pony clubs and showing pony hunter. Finally, in my 50's here I am back to basics and my little filly is perfect.At the same time that I found my filly I also found you. I have bought all of your books and dvd's, as well as joining your blog.Back to breathing in everything horse. I take my 2 yr old grandson to the barn with me and they are connecting . Shiloh is doing liberty training and the ET. training so far, great results but she is 10 months old so perhaps there will be issues when she is a yearling. I am looking forward to doing insider circle. How do I apply for this? Thank you for helping me fullfill a lifelong dream. Sherry Thomson Hi Carolyn,

My shut down western pleasure show horse is now an exuberant, somewhat dominate, funny, playful, curious guy. He's a very happy horse, and I will be bringing him home to the herd on Feb 1st. My question is, when we do companion walking and go into a trot, he will pin his ears. I can feel the energy change, and yep it feels dominate. To quote you.. Some people make the mistake of thinking that their horse is following their lead and they see the horse as playful in its expression when the opposite is true… the horse is acting in an aggressive manner but hasn’t turned up the volume yet. So bring it down to a walk a little leading from behind, and maybe some reciprocal movement???? I have taken territory twice, and lots of eye contact. He never takes his eyes off me, now. He does a great trot and come up, but can (it's rare) kick out. This horse is loving our new way of doing things, but it is bringing out his innate characteristics, which are dominate. LBE in Parelli terms. I know this is about finding a balance between his being totally shut down, and dominate dangerous. Any suggestions? Miss our biweekly phone calls, Carolyn. When you start the insider circle program up again, anyone that WAS considering it, you should jump on it. Any chance you'll go on tour and do maybe a 3 day clinic schedule?

Klaus doesn't believe in foal training, while most people here don't seem to mind. What is your opinion, Carolyn? Yeah, that’s quite an interesting difference in opinion.

I am brand new to all this and am having a wonderful time doing Reiki with horses. I have been taken through The Way of The Horse with Barbara Alexander in Ashville, N.C. Marianne - have you listened to what I think is the most recent call with Klaus, through the Horse Conscious site? He has some very interesting and to me unexpected things to say about working with foals. I encourage you to go there. It is a wonderful website and full of resources and connections. You may already even be a member for all I know! Anyway, this is what came to mind as I read your comments on the foal you are working with. Good luck!, Mary Hi – I am replying to Marianne.
