What a lovely pretty pony and well done OP for trying to do right by him. Your heart is in the right place. However please do your homework thoroughly into whatever trainer you use to help you. It may be more constructive and less stressful for the pony and to avoid unsettling the pony even more if you get someone to come to you, rather than move the pony again.
Personally i wouldnt choose a parelli instructor. It is highly marketed and more about making money than helping horses. Some of their practices are also very dubious. Our local parelli instructor may have spent thousands of ££££ 'training' and flying to america several times to be able to call herself a parelli instructor but she would have been better off spending the money on real horsemanship lessons. Her basic care and stable management of her own horses is severely lacking and she turns a blind eye to alot of horrific things that occur at her yard. very odd. I also have seen several videos of the parellis working with horses and all they do is punish and confuse them.
Good luck with your lovely pony
