Well, I've copied the whole story from the nevzorov forum, because it so much of typework, and I always seem to forget things, so I do it this way.
Well, I will try to introduce myself, excuse me for my poor English, I'll do my best.
My name is Katie, I'm 17 years old and my interest for horses started at my 14th.
Before that time, my interests go out to other stuff like dancing. I've never disliked horses, but at that time I never felt a real connection either.
I started to ride on a horse of a friend of my. An Arabian horse, but without a real arabian character. Later I realized she was just kind of a robot. After al those years standing alone, without other horses to play with. But after all it was the horse that got me interested into horses. And that's the place where my story starts.
I begged my mom and dad, even got my mom and sister riding to. And eventually, I was permitted to buy a horse.
I could tell you my whole first time with horses, very traditional with bit, without spurs! But I can summarise it for you. Yes I've abused the bit sometimes, when I was enabled to stop my horse, or when I just got frustrated. Although I was, most of the time, very "kind", as kind as possible with a bit.
One day my mom took me to a horsewhisperer-course, and that's where the story about me and Natural Horsemanships started.
*It's really hard to tell everything without get this story boring*
I have used different ways to find out what fits me the best. Tried Monty, but stopped that soon. Emiel Voest, not my thing either, and than got to Parelli, which I liked, and read Hempfling, I like him either. I liked the things I saw from Nevzorov from the beginning, but never know how to get their myself.
3 weeks ago, before I've heard from the Nevzorov School, I bought an 3-years old horse. He's called Walk on M, but we're calling him Midas. My idea was to first play with him, do some parelli-games etc. Then I just want to sit on him without anything, en just feel what happened. Start to encourage him to walk, with the signals I learn him on the ground. I know enough of the body of the horse. How it reacts, when it relaxes, how to get there. To turn on the motor, and to limit at the front, so they collect. Why do you need a bit and spurs for that?
Now that I have found the Nevzorov school, I'm glad to just have some help. An still can change my plan's if I walk the wrong road!
Well I just end this with some photo's.
If you have questions shoot!
First of all I'll show you my first horse Nero, who's still ours.
Willy, the horse of my instructor, he's sold unfortunately.
Then there's Dandy, he's ours too.
Ritanka, also ours.
Sjors, also ours, well.. he's my sister's horse.
And then, the one, I loved most of al.
Vip, he wasn't mine, but I've helped his owner a bit. I've never seen a horse with that much of fear of humans. And never seen a horse which, after lot of work and trust, could trust you some much. Unfortunately he wasn't mine, and was bought for trade.
To be honest, I always blame her for what she has done. Cause the last time I saw Vip, and she was telling how proud she was, I stood with there's in my eyes. If I had the money I've already bought him. And I still wish I could. For the one who have seen the movie spirit, Vip was like spirit, but without so much courage, and full of fear.
I really have thought, with what happened If I could buy him, I knew it should take years before I can ride, but I almost could saw the day, that I just could feel, that's the day I could get up hime. Like in a movie. Well, I should never know that. But the one thing I know, is that he completely pulls me out of the traditional way. And let me watch and think.

The one that's really not spoken about here much is Midas. At the time I wrote this al I've just buyed him. But know we have done some little things, no big things to type whole story's about, but just simple little. Piece by piece you come to no Midas better, because al those little story's I'm going to tell, are the story's that make Midas my big love. That's why I called him Midas. In Greek myth Midas was a king of Phrygia in Asia Minor. He was granted a wish by the god Dionysos - that everything he touch be turned to gold. Including my heart
