10/28/01 This section is just that, babble. The thoughts and ideas are incomplete. They are things that I think of while riding. They may or may not develop into a topic to discuss. The first example will be the title of the book Thinking Harmony by Tom Dorrance. I read this book several years ago. It was way over my head. I was looking for some key concepts about “training” horses. I missed the whole point. I think that I understand that he is presenting a philosophy of life that brings us together with the horse as one. So, when we use the concept of “preparing” the horse rather than “training” the horse, we open up a whole new world of feel, observation and perception. The more I learn, the less I know. I will use this idea as a spring board from which to launch discussion. The main thing that I will do is break down each skill and refine it. I will refine, refine, until I can’t simplify it any further. Keep it simple, simple, simple. |
