**Natural Horsemanship **
**​**

Natural Horsemanship is a form of activity, a kind of game, it can be used in every ride-activity like, show jumping, dressage, cross country, horse race, trot and all the others. Horsemanship can be used to help horses with problems physical and psychic scars. The horse might be mistreated before and now it’s afraid of humans. That’s a normal problem, it’s too normal. It could be mistreated, abounded, starved, sometimes the horses dies of hunger, but some people care about those horses, takes care of them, helps them, gives their life a new start.

=Natural Horsemanship for daily activity. =

A lot of people do Natural Horsemanship instead and show jumping, dressage and things like that. This people do not use a bridle, do not use a wip and do not use spurs. They use a Parelli halter(a halter made of only rope), a neck rope(a rope around the horses neck) and sometimes they don't have anything on the horse.



Horses are flee-animals and they’re running if they are afraid. We can try as hard we can, but horse will always flee if they are afraid. Horses are also a herd animal, and they are actually very social.

For many thousand years ago the horses lived wild, but then the human came and pushed the horses away…first the horses was used for food, but then they cot couth and tamed. Many people didn’t treat the horses good and used power to tame them, but then we got the Indians who started Natural Horsemanship. They treated the horses like family and friends. They didn’t put metal in the horses mouth, they didn’t use a saddle. The Indians used a rope in the horse mouth, instead of a bridle, and they sat on the horse back, instead of using a saddle.

The Indians had great patience, they didn’t hit the horse, they didn’t ride the horse until it bucked them of, but they treated the horse, like the horse treated them. They was The Leader Of The Horse, The Lead Horse! Because acting like a lead horse are what we’re doing in Natural Horsemanship.
