I live about two miles away from Maungaturoto. I love it here and wouldn't change it for the world. Interesting question you posed. Most of the time our lives here are very relaxed. The stress comes when there are worries concerning a lack of feed for the animals in winter or it's become too dry and the water supply is starting to run a little low - I consider those a challenge more than a worry. Thanks for your compliments and encouragement!!!<BR/><BR/>Take care LizLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100812038496671783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-71750372943394448002009-03-01T05:27:00.000+13:002009-03-01T05:27:00.000+13:00Hi Karen,I used to have three horses but last wint...Hi Karen,<BR/><BR/>I used to have three horses but last winter we had to send one of them to a sanctuary. He's doing just fine. I love Monty Robert's ways but the Parelli I avoid. Not so keen on their methods at all. I agree horses are a fatal addiction. The two I do have here I love and enjoy. I love what you said about the integration of Monty's methods with human interactions. So so true<BR/><BR/>Great to hear from you again<BR/>Take care<BR/>LizLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100812038496671783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-49052337208127544102009-02-28T10:12:00.000+13:002009-02-28T10:12:00.000+13:00You are very skilled at drawing and writing.

I saw photos online of a carnival and men in kilts. Very beautiful. I envy you living in a quiet town. Is life stressful or simply peaceful?Gutsy Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226653890127738115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-85962507726169464582009-02-28T09:15:00.000+13:002009-02-28T09:15:00.000+13:00Hi again LizSee its not JUST Tamoa and the Waitake...Hi again Liz<BR/>See its not JUST Tamoa and the Waitakeres that we have in common. <BR/><BR/>I have four horses over here in Western Australia and have had great respect for Monty's teachings - I think I have all his books now (I get them off Amazon usually) along with many other publications from "Natural" horsemen and women. We have also studied Parelli but are not purists (don't tell the Parelli mob that) and I use a lot of the join up principles in my play with my steeds. we do long distance horse trekking over here - we also have kangaroos that frequent our property and monty's methods (body language stuff) has worked well in gaining their trust - works with the chooks when building new ones confidence around us as well. <BR/><BR/>And as for your drawing ... awesome ... Monty also has a good book on how his methods relate to human interaction and personal development - I use horses in my counselling practice with humans over here and it is a very powerful experiential method - I integrate a lot of monty's teaching into my sessions. <BR/><BR/>Oh now you've done it! youve got me talking horses - you will never get rid of me off this website now!!<BR/><BR/>What an art with the pencil you have!Tanoa Wild Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17532869035887680958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-39706942736157369392009-02-27T21:02:00.000+13:002009-02-27T21:02:00.000+13:00Hi guys!!!Leslie - thanks for that.

I'm hoping that I can get there! I have wanted to read that book myself...I'm gonna have to get it. I wonder if Barns and Noble carry it, I've been wanting to go and see what horse books I can get. Norm has always told me that quiet is better and I see that with our own animals, many farmers wack at their cows and they are unruly to say the least, we very rarely have any troubles. I have learned that quiet with the horses makes them respond so much faster and readily than even normal talking! The old cowboys mumbled to theirs and I've taken that approach and I'm even wining over Georgia who hated me!Welcome To Wilmoth Farmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324148511238133892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419749276972728688.post-17566241766287171922009-02-27T06:13:00.000+13:002009-02-27T06:13:00.000+13:00Liz, that is a beautiful drawing and story.
