Right-Brain Introvert
This shy. Timid, shrinking violet avoids pressure by retreating into himself. Success involves going very slowly at first and waiting for him to come out of his shell, to trust more. Pretty soon he’ll be offering you more.
DO:
Wait -wait -wait -WAIT! Ask your horse for something and then wait until he does it or looks at you to ask for clarification or more direction. If you just go through your phases to get him to act when you want, he’ll be tense, lose confidence and trust. He may even blow up.
Use the tiniest and softest suggestions and wait. This horse sees every little thing you do, sometimes he doesn’t respond because his brain is locked up in fear.
Be consistent. The Right Brain horse has trouble with change so do simple things with lots of repetition until he’s calm.
Move his heart and he’ll give you his confidence.
Confidence is everything. If you focus on this your horse will give you everything else.
Parelli Patterns! They give him confidence.

DON’T:
Don’t make your horse do things when he’s not looking at you. This tells you he’s afraid of the pressure you are putting on him. You might not think its pressure, but you can frustrate this Horsenality with phase 1 simply because you are asking and asking and not waiting long enough for the response.
Don‘t ask too much. Ask less in the beginning and you’ll get more in the end. Don’t ask more unless your horse is calm and trusting.
Don’t use big phases. You don’t need them. He can see you, he just can’t think when he’s afraid or rushed/pushed.
Don’t punish your horse for not doing what you want. Remember, this is fear, and punishment does not make a horse braver.

Left-Brain Introvert

DO:
Use incentive - treats, grazing, rest, scratches, etc. Incentive is not bribing because you’ll ask your horse to do something before rewarding him. A bribe is when you use the treat to lure him into doing it. There’s a big difference.
Ask him to do less than he’s offering. It will blow his mind! He’ll then start offering more.
Give him time to think. He’s not a slow thinker; he’s just got to stop thinking resistant thoughts before he can be more in tune with you.
Variety is important, it makes life interesting.
Use more drive than draw.
Teach him some tricks. This is fun for both of you and is a good way to make him feel clever.
Move his mind and he’ll move his feet.
Parelli Patterns! They encourage him to think and show how smart he is.

DON’T:
Don’t make him work. He uses energy only for the things he thinks are fun.
Don‘t punish him. You’ll have a big fight on your hands. This horse is a master intimidator of people when he dislikes them!
Don‘t push him. He’ll have you working harder than him! He’s also great at objecting when asked to go faster and usually responds by kicking up, swishing his tail or laying back his ears. Just don’t go there. Do the opposite of what he expects.
Don’t micromanage - ask him to do something and then wait for him to do it. If he doesn’t, resend.
Don’t get tougher, get more ‘interesting’ - do less to get more. Surprise him with a flick under the flank and a treat (cookie, rub or rest) when he tries.
Don’t use much repetition. He cannot see the point in doing the same thing over and over and will lose motivation and respect for you. He’s smart. Treat him like he is.
Don‘t let your horse come to you with his ears back. Send/chase him away until he asks for permission to come to you.
Don’t get fooled into thinking that he’s lazy. He’s just unmotivated by you, so figure out how to make things more.

Interesting!
