Genuine serious question - not a p**s take

I was told by someone who took them seriously enough to go to level 3 and then become a trainer that when you actually become a trainer, you're told to forget all the rubbish you've learned and only then do you start to learn "proper" NH!! But you still teach the rubbish to the punters.
So some of the guys that have left the parelli movement are really pretty good trainers - specially if they have moved on to learn from the Ray Hunt/Buck Brannamans of the NH world.
 
Natural horsemanship = plain common sense.
If you need to be tought that you shouldn't be around horses. And pulling tails, waving sticks in their face and all the rest off the stuff they do is total rubbish. How's it natural??? Do you see horses pulling sticks out the hedge in the wild and waving it in their friends faces.?? Not natural in any way shape or form

I think that you should perhaps know a little about something before you judge it so.
Nothing we do to a horse is natural, so i tend not to use it in training. To me its just good horsemanship. You dont have to be NH to be a good trainer.
I think its a bit ignorant of you to state that the tools we use are rubbish because obviously you are not familiar with the technigues. Dont try to judge something because you do not understand it.
 
Hairy pulled a twig along in his tail and swished it in pony's face alot...does that count M?

Alot actually. But hey you dont seem to care so i wont elaborate. If you want to continue to insult people and their training, feel free. But it aint gonna get you anywhere.
 
Didn't read the recent thread, but in my experience of people who dabble in it they do some mad stuff with sticks and end up in a mess with their horses. I have also found these people to consider themselves a bit superior but end up with poor confused animals.

The commercial side of the whole Parelli business is also pretty horrible.

Just my experience.
 
Brilliant photo, you look like two minds with a single thought.

I don't bother any more with threads where people think that NH=Parelli=Circus Tricks=Common Sense. The topic is far wider than that.
 
Ahh Binky01...Its Butter popcorn all the way!

Ooh, I must be really huge then, I eat popcorn, jelly tots, biscuits, fairy cakes etc AND I go riding! Poor poor horsey, how does he do it?! (This is such a saint of a horse, teaching me to jump, putting up with my numptiness and not even batting an eyelid!)

Point definately taken and agreed with,but it wasnt this summer.In hind sight we would have been better without it.See, I am not just a pony squisher but cruel too.
 
Pmsl :P I thought I had to post that photo in one of these from the tail pulling and stick waving....they just seemed to merge together well :P

Not sure what someone with less than 500 posts might have to contribute that's worth listening to, but on another, highly cerebral thread I initiated (and you probably wouldn't understand half of it ) Mike007 advocated we all dispense with these confounding items of uselessness.

A case of do as I say, if ever there was one.

*leaves thread in a terminal huff*
 
Sorry to disappoint but there is now a shortage of Jelly Tots :( I.... I mean "someone" must have eaten them whilst reading the other parelli thread. "someone" now feels slightly sick :(

They are on offer at a large supermarket chain beginning with 'A' though! £0.75 for a 195g bag :D :D
