Golf girl, Sorry if I offended you but it appears you've jumped to a conclusion. Maybe you should re-read my first question and the later posted questions as they are very openly worded and inviting for all. Yes there are a higher proportion of people who dislike the parelli method who...

There seem to be a larger percentage of horse owners posting here who do not like the parelli method. Does anybody have an idea of how many horse owners are in the UK and how many actually follow parelli? They seem to capture the market when it comes to complete newbies in the equine world...

Just heard today that the Parelli show is coming to the UK to do a show at the N.E.C next year, what are peoples thoughts on this and if your going what are you hoping to see and gain from this show?

Thanks for your reply tongue in cheek. Yes you are correct I expressed and interest in joining Parelli back in '01 as I did believe they had a good honest agenda of trying to improve levels of horsemanship helping horses and owners, I was told I needed to have been assessed to level 3. So...

The vet report shown by parelli was by the chief vet for Royal festival of the horse, am I correct in thinking this is a different vet to the one that examined catwalk from the BHS?

I would still like to hear your thoughts on this? My husband went to observe a clinic being taught by one of these instructors and he said the students were correcting the instructor on some of the teaching. This is dangerous and a concern as its this kind of thing that also gives NH a...

Hi tounge in cheek, I am interested to hear your thoughts on the lowering of standards in the parelli world in a huge way with levels and the fact that it is so so easy to become an instructor. 10 years ago the quality of the instructors was very high but now anybody with money can get...

I like the romance your trying to sell there but like I said there are at least 3 of these instructors that did not even meet the pre-requisites for these one week courses but were accepted based on the money to be made. demonstration of the fact you can move one horse around on the ground and...

I am told by a parelli instructor of at least 3 cases of instructors now with 1* or 2* instructor titles who met very few of the pre-requisites you state and it was down to the fact they had the money. parelli are just try to further build an empire based on quantity of instructors rather...

KS1 explained the parelli professional star ratings in a post, just to add- parelli now offer a 1 week classroom course to obtain a 1* after which they would teach 50 hours for free, once this is done they can then charge for 'online' lessons. they can then go on to do a further one week...

I agree with the many people who say parelli are just out to make fast $$$$. They now even offer anybody with a few thousand pounds to go and spent a week with them and become a perelli endorsed instructor regardless of if they have any equine knowledge or experience at all(ok maybe they can...

Many posters have mentioned the vet examination on the horse, who was actually present for this? A friend tells me that parelli claim there was no injury at all to the horse and the only people present were their own staff, therefore trying to dis-spell the claims of many of the people on...

Was any body at the parelli sunday demo? A friend told me that LP announced Parelli had been invited to present at some official FEI dressage meeting/talks, could this be true??? Apparently after LP announced this PP started chanting 'we're gonna change the world, we're gonna change the...

I attended the show and what I could see was PP using force and mechanics to obtain results with the horse in order to further inflate his already over inflated ego. Its a crying shame, I have learned from some of the horsemen and women that PP claims to have learned from and they would be...
