Welcome to Ellen Ofstad's pages about horses

Welcome to my site about natural horsemanship. Training with natural horsemanship means using communication with horses to work with them rather than force and mechanical devices.
With the right attitude and understanding, time and patience you can get amazing results with horses, in a surprisingly short time.

You know you're a horselover when...

If.... If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can get going without pep pills,
If you can always be cheerful,
ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining
and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food everyday
and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones  
are too busy to give you any time,
If you can overlook it when those you love  
take it out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can take criticism and blame
without resentment,
If you can ignore a friend's limited education  
and never correct him,
If you can resist treating a rich friend  
better than a poor friend,
If you can face the world
without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
If you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion or politics,

Then, my friend, you are *almost* as good as your horse!
