Discussing 'artificial horsemanship’ Mr Stuart says: “I don’t understand the logic behind beating an animal If you have no love or passion for the animal you should not be volved with it Why would you want to inflict pain and suffering on something you love? It’s a sad thing that people pay $2000 for an animal but refuse to train that animal properly and instead misuse it" But Mr Stuart has equally little use for those w ho feed their horses sugar lumps and carrots all day while begging for a response “You have to be assertive - somewhere between aggressive and submissive You have to find that medium" he advises “A horse knows when you know or when you don't know something But if you can learn to develop confidence and to control the situation your horse will know this too" says Mr Stuart But it all comes down to the matter of the heart “A horse doesn’t care how much you know just how much you care" says Mr Stuart Carrie Siddiqui Delta resident and at the Central Valley psychologist Mental Health Clinic sees that the prin- - the fingertip yielding test that encourages humans to begin to think like a horse That isn't to say that Mr Stuart w asn’t tested by a feisty animal from time to time During these brief interludes of struggles Mr Stuart assumed the "face of the lamb" and stoically worked w ith the animal until he gained the leadership position again He referred to this process at otic point as “wai ting her out" adding that the horse learns more quickly from the force of it’s own pressure than from any external motivator Mr Stuart talked a lot like that while discussing the horse’s learning processes “U'hcn you sec the eyes blinking the licking of lips the ears working that signifies the horse is thinking" he said Mr Stuart also advised that w hen a horse was quick to learn a lesson a rest time between lessons should be proportionate But if a horse tot a long time to get the message then Mr Stuart advised that the horse be allowed an equally long time to “soak it in” After every successful response by the horses pats and pets were the ards “If you don’t rew ard your horse they’ll never know when they've done wrong or right” advised Mr Stuart He commented on how the horses were ciples taught could be applied to chilsitudren family employeremployee ations “Horses have a natural instinct to be led but domination doesn't mean abuse Don't get mad get firm" she says The differences in the animals (human and horse) comes down to one basic instinct what's for dinner A horse is a prey animal that is it can be used as food by predatory animals And humans are the supreme predator says Mr Stuart Little wonder there has been some confusion in the past Once the human can assure the horse that one isn’t going to attack and the other isn't going to be eaten everyone can get on w ith the show so to speak The ultimate goal of both animals how ever should be the same: to be emotionally physically and mentally fiL Of course natural horsemanship is nothing new Indians were known to ndc then horses without bits saddles or bndles Horse trainers perform around the w orld w ith animals that seem to read their minds But until recently the methods used to easily control a horse w ere unknown to most horse owners and a lot of misinformation prevailed It’s Pat Patrelli's mission to change - that His reason? “because if I come back as a horse I want to make darn sure that you’ve got it right" The Pat Patrelli organization is for those who also believe in the system Once you join the organization you receive a halter a lead rope and a carrot stick (The horse is your department) Support groups called Corrals are set up of 10 members or more They meet weekly to review their adventures They watch the video tapes that the organization provides to refresh the goals There is an 800 number for further support if needed And Pat Patrelli the guru himself will conduct a session for you if the force is with you Kir Patrelli has already appeared in Delta for the first session of the Corral during last spring Mr Stuart has come twice and is due to return in August 21 st and 22nd If you would like further information or would like to join the Delta Corral This is the call Pat Thomas at only Pat Patrelli Corral in the state and you may attend two times for free The following actions kx place in Fourth Circuit Court Fillmore Court House Fillmore Utah July 22nd 1993 Judge Joseph I Dimmick presiding: — Sara C Stevens appeared with counsel on First Appearance on charges of Theft a 2nd degree felony Matter was set for waiver hearing on August 6th Bail was set and posted — Carl N Remkes appeared for First Appearance on charges of 1) Forcible sexual abuse of a child a 2nd degree felony 2) Forcible sexual abuse of a child a 2nd degree felony 3) Forcible sexual abuse a 3rd degree felony Court was told that a plea agreement has been reached and matter was bound over to Court for arraignment on August th — Dawna Hook Day and Lynn E Day appeared in custody for a First Appearance each charged with 1) Possession of melh amphetamine with tent to distribute a 2nd degree felony 2) Possession of marijuana with intent to distribute a 3rd degree felony 3) Possession of cocaine a 3rd degree felony 4) Possession of amphetamines a 3rd degree felony 5) Possession of marijuana a class B misdemeanor 6) Possession of drug paraphernalia a class B misdemeanor Both defendants will obtain own counsel and matter was continued to August 6th for preliminary hearings B ail for Mrs Day was lowered to $ 0000 B ail for Mr Day remained at $30000 — Dawna Hoc Day appeared in custody for a First Appearance on charges of distributing controlled substance marijuana a 3rd degree felony Matter was continued to August 6th for inary hearing — Dawna Hook Day appeared in custody for a First Appearance on charges of Distribution of a controlled substance amphetamines (cross topis) a 2nd degree felony Matter was continued to August 6th for preliminary hearing — Darren Freeman appeared for Arraignment and Entry of Plea on charges of Unlaw ful control of a vessel Mr Freeman a class A misdemeanor entered a plea of guilty and Court upxxi State's request sentenced defendant to next lower category Defendant was sentenced to serve six months in Millard County jail and pay a fine of $1000 Execution of sentence was stayed and defendant was ordered to one year of unsupicrvised probation to the Court and ordered to pay a $200 Fine Defendant was further oidered to pay restitution within 30 days — Steven J Maynard did not appear for Arraignment and Entry of Plea on charges of Failure to step at a stop sign Defendant had a class C misdemeanor called and asked to be excused Matter w as continued until August 6th — Kevin Bradshaw appeared with counsel for Arraignment and Entry of Plea on charges of Vehicle burglary a pirclim Dave Stuart (facing) shows how easy it is to get all wrapped up in your work on a seminar participant Non-viole- nt family problem solving by Thomas D Coleman The family can be one of the most violent social institutions in our society Almost daily there are media accounts of family violence This includes physical abuse sexual abuse neglect murder and suicide Where do people learn this behavior?
