2011.02.10 - Sharing Territory with BonitoBonito is a 7 years old Noriker gelding. He is not mine, I am taking care of him about 4 times per week. We met each other only 1 month ago, so we are fully in the process of getting to know each other. We are only at the beginning of our journey together. Right now, I am focusing on developping a bond with him.
This video shows highlights of a session of Sharing Territory that lasted about 1 hour. Since 1 month we spend most of our time together sharing territory. Spending all this time simply being with Bonito has become very important to me, maybe more important than anything else.
Sharing Territory is the first Waterhole Ritual described in the Carolyn Resnick's method. I am NOT a professional of this method, my aim is NOT to teach anybody with this video!!! I am just trying to find my own way with this particular horse, and to get feedback from other horse lovers, especially those who know Carolyn's method would be nice :) This is also a way for me to see where we are standing now.
So if you are interested in Carolyn Resnick's method, go to http://www.carolynresnickblog.com/
There you will get all the information directly from Carolyn herself, and also find a list of her certified trainers.
PS: I know the place is dirty. The owner plans to build a nice riding area, but we have to wait and do with what we have.
