Hi have been keeping a close eye as best I can, I ask if horses have been fed (those that are in their bad books and likely to be mistreated) - This morning I fed the horse whoes being deprived of food so that they can catch him - I know I'll get it in the neck when they see i've fed it. I have...

Self righteous and sarcastic, well done!!!

I think you just enjoy being self righteous, as I said I haven't been here long and these events have escalated recently. the world of horses isn't all pink and fluffy, I really wish it was - there are many others on this yard who also love horses but are torn, life isn't that straight forward...

Sounds like you lot aren't opposed to a bit of bullying here. If that's the response I get when I mention what I'm seeing on a forum what chance is there of stopping this treatment

Thanks katkins for at least understanding my dilema and not being self righteous, life is often not black and white - the people running this yard are very young, they work extremely hard and are the victims of professional show jumpers who have shown them that this is the 'way' to success - If...

I've only had my horse a few months and moved him here after the first yard was unsuitable. These people were not running the yard when I arrived and it has gradually been getting worse as more and more horses have been arriving. 5 months ago there were only 5 stabled horses, now there are22...

Hard working donkeys get it easy compared to some top show jumpers who don't see the light of day unless at a show or schooled for 30 mins in the day where they'll be beaten if they get anthing wrong - at leat those donkeys get the winter off - sorry I know it's meant to be a joke but really...

I keep my horse at a show jumping yard - their attitude to the horses are appauling - they are professional riders who know how to beat horses into submission but have no horsemanship skills. Horses and ponies also come to the yard to be broken and reschooled by them - so far not one has been...

The marketing and language can be annoying, i wouldn't want to go to a Parelli event and listen to all Pat's cliches but Linda has a much better approach and I have to say that the dvd's are really well put together and much more down to earth than the hype would lead you to expect. If you lack...

I totally agree with what you've said - really well put. Whatever side of the fence you're on you should respect other people's approach even if it's not for you. often people who discover an 'alternate' approach become a bit evangelic about it which puts others off. However, when you see what...

Parelli seems to get such a bad press on forums. I think it's because the majority of people are very happy with their horses and feel a sense of pride in their equine knowledge. Parelli is quite a big step away from the conventional horsemanship most of us have been brought up with and so it...

I totally see why people don't like Parelli, it is very commercial and to be honest unless you REALLY understand it then it just looks a bit lame. I think once in a while you come across a horse that needs you to take a step back and reconsider what you think you know about horses. I have this...
