We were laughing about that very thing  while out doing a conditioning ride
Saturday.  I bought Hunter from a woman who was a Parelli instructor in a
city about two hours from here.  She taught a weekly class there.

I like a lot of things that come from PNH, but Hunter was a very poor
representative of natural horsemanship.

The seller agreed to deliver him to a spot mid-way between her place and
ours.  She had a really rough time getting him in my trailer - a trailer
that I had never had a horse refuse to go into, very open and spacious.  She
kept looking at me as if to ask, "Changed your mind yet?"  I was thinking
"If he doesn't go in this time, she can keep the deposit.  I am so out of
here."

He loaded and I took him home, but for the entire first week I was thinking
I had made a very large mistake.

I've had him a little over two years now.  He does know the seven games and
he has loaded like a champ the last four times I hauled him, but that is
after two plus years.  I have to assume he flunked her class.
