Here is the other video that shows Lark trailer loading...[2 of 2].

Is this really the same Lark?...[1 of 3]

Pat Parelli has a little saying....'I've never seen it take more than 2 days....' teaching us to be passively persistent in the proper position! Well, when Lark was given to me from Horses for Healing it took 2 days to load her in the trailer! Lark was untrained, scared of her own shadow when she came to Twin Springs, but after playing the Parelli games with her, using Love, Language and Leadership in equal doses she has now learned how to be braver, calmer and smarter. I was so proud of her trailer loading that I just had to share it! Jimmy video taped us. She loves to go out on the trails too, so here we are trail riding..what a blast. [her new name is Larksie PooPoo!] I plan to use her as a lesson horse, I think she'll do great!

Frederik the Great presented at Twin Springs....

Frederik is a Friesian Stallion standing at stud at Pinnacle Friesian right here in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. His owners' Kim & Stacy Nazzario presented him Sunday, Oct.24th to a crowd of about 200! He did an outstanding performance of Liberty and Dressage Riding style. Yours truly did the announcing and what fun we had! We had door prizes of T-Shirts, Mugs, Posters! Frederik truly WoWed the crowd with his magnificent presense, he is absolutely stunning to watch with his beautiful black flowing mane that touches the ground! His rider was Stacy Morrison at Equus Manor in Centerton. We will post more pictures as we get them in! For more info on Frederik, go to www.pinnaclefriesians.com.

Tammy & Creek....

This is one of Twin Springs' very first volunteer, boarder, friend! Tammy has an awesome story about her horsemanship journey with her horse Creek. In her very own words: "We needed each other..." Creek came to us with a distrust for humans, very dominant out of fear, in Parelli terms, his 'horseanalyity' is mostly Left-Brained Introvert. Tammy has done a wonderful job of starting a relationship with Creek that has developed into a partnership. They go everywhere together, what a truly inspiring 'love story'!

"I love the Cloverleaf Pattern!".....

Christi's horse, Maverick is very relaxed after playing with the Cloverleaf Pattern! She and I had so much fun together; Pat Parelli teaches us this pattern to help horses find relaxation, it has enough consistency for impulsive horses and yet enough variety for 'short' horses (short=only go short distances; 'under-impulsive'.) After a few laps at the walk, our horses began to 'get it' so we would only stop in the middle, making the center or X the sweet spot instead of stopping at the gate every time. My horse began to get better at the trot and then even a few canter strides on the pattern. Good stuff!
