I would like to challenge you in this Training Tip to join me in the pursuit of purpose-driven horsemanship.

Next time you warm up your horse, ask yourself: “why am I asking my horse to do this?”

• Am I causing him to be safe to ride?
• Am I teaching him something new?
• Am I preparing him for the vet, the farrier, the dentist etc.?

 
Don’t just do something, have a purpose for what you are doing!

• Go put your principles to purpose by playing and winning Games #4-7!
• Test your principles with the Parelli Patterns!
• Have your study buddy challenge you with some “Can You’s”!
• Try your luck at a gymkhana or events like Equine Trail Sports (ETS), a competitive trail ride, a trail class, Parelli Play Days and Parelli Games!

 
Purpose is what prevents the first 3 Games from turning into the 3 jobs or 3 torture methods AND will keep you and your horse progressing through the Levels Program and way beyond!
