Parelli Tips: Levels Pathway - "Get Started"

let her curiously explore the trailer so she goes in when she is ready
make the trailer a safe, comfortable, and relaxing place by driving her around it and when she gets to it, let her stop and chill, taking the pressure off
when she boringly/somewhat forcefully pulls away, strongly disengage her hindquarters
walking away takes away pressure off and tells her thats the right answer
scratching/playing with something is a sign of confidence -- let her fiddle with it!

make sure she stops when you put your stick in front of her

"For a young boy, it is a long time before he knows his alphabet. A longer time before he can spell, and maybe years before he can read distinctly; and yet, there are people who will get on a young horse, entirly untaught, and undressed, fancy that by beating and spurring, they will make him a dressed horse in one moring only. I would love to ask such stupid people whether by beating a boy they would teach him how to read without first showing him the alphabet? Sure they would beat him to death before they would make him read."

"A stubborn horse walks behind you. An impatient horse walks infront of you, but a noble horse walks with you."

"When training young horses, "There are many types of bits, for many different disiplines, but the severity of ALL bits, lies in the hand of who's holding them."

- Monty Roberts
