enlightened horsemanship through touch

I have never posted a recipe or a photograph of food here on EHTT before. I just love blogs where people post colorful photos of their beautifully-prepared meals and recipes to go along. On the rare occasion when I have time I read them with with delight. So I thought I’d make an effort today to join in the fun with this recipe and photo. It’s important to note that this is not intended to be snarky or mean. My daughter, who loves that kind of blog, found this recipe for a Jonestown Kool-Aid Cake at and forwarded it to me, where I saw the potential, and (if you ignore the sadness, which is hard to do but play along with me) decided to share it with you. What inspired this departure from my usual format?

Responses to the Parelli Parade of Preposterousness!

The most thoughtful response to the Parelli Parade of Preposterousness! was by Kerry of Hoofbeats, who said,

In martial arts the one thing I did learn is that you take what is good and useful for yourself from every disipline. One should never ever ever stop thinking for oneself. Does it make sense to you? Does it work for you? If it does, use it. If it doesn’t, discard it. You are just as smart as everyone else. You are just as smart as Linda or Pat.

Sometimes we get “in the thrall” of trainers, especially those who are really good at promoting themselves. This is one situation where cherrypicking is a great idea. Before you take a bite of that cake, think for yourself.
