Is Parelli bad for the brain?

I'm back again..been for a staff bbq on the beach.Now where were we.

Of course the guys who do tours with the horses travel them in planes,trains and automobils.,,how else would they get around the world.i would like to think i'm not the same as anyone but have my own unique way of training and it might not be to everyones liking but it gives me immense pleasure when i play a game with my horse and it pays off.You dont need to stick to the seven games but make up your own versions.

My horses are both very happy and healthy horses and i put a great deal of work into tail pulling or football.most horses would shy away if i threw a big bouncy ball at their heads but my two love it.i'm sure they try to get a volley going between them.

blimey they should definately be on the footy team then....
yes i think a horse would and should shy away if a ball was thrown at their heads?! now THAT is natural!
prehaps the continual concussion to the brain is having an effect on them..?
 
Can they take over some of our England players then?

Maybe next world cup,we've found our new winning stratedy... ;)

I really think that is out of line. No im not rema, but thats quite insulting. I really dont think you have the right to judge any one, whether as a joke or not. Most replies here have been lighthearted, but i think some people are taking the jokes a step too far.
If someone wants to jump there horse or teach them passage, or if someone wants to build their relationship with their horse from the ground, who the hell are we to judge.

I don't want to spoil things, but Rema isn't being serious (I hope). She did another thread about Parelli ages ago pretending to be a follower.

Funnily enough I have always found that people who don't understand Parelli or Clinton Anderson or any of the others that sing from the same song sheet are a little bit how do you say " soft in the brain" or as I would say thick!

I understand this video; I understand that Linda Parelli is abusing a horse. I would NEVER allow her to treat a horse in my care like that. Would you??? If the primary exponent of Parelli training treats horses like that, setting that particular example what do you think the people watching her DVDs are doing?

Can anyone tell me the difference (except the price and colour of course!) between a carrot stick and Mr. Blue Pipe? I knew one of the best old horsemen, until his sad death age 80, who would work on the ground with horses, would ride them and understood them (and people) better than anyone I know. He considered himself to just have horse sense. Sadly for him, and his children, it never occurred to him to market his considerable skills, just passed his knowledge on, to anyone who would listen, he could have made a fortune! As it was he died a tennant farmer, as he had lived and I never saw him whack a horse round the head with any sort of object! :D

well if ive insulted her i apologise. but im sure they would let me know if they found it insulting.....

but tbh i find it completely utterly strange and a little detrimental to the horse that anyone would want to teach a horse to headbutt items that are thrown at their heads......?!

and i agree that video from the 'top' trainer and founder is utterly sickening..... and the fact its on the training videos speaks volumes.....

mr blue-pipe...who is a good, and long serving buddy of mine is the same as anything else in this sad country of ours..., is a british conception... in the grand scheme of things, has to be cr4p/cruel/not a good investment.

but...mr PP and his side-kick, Lasher..sorry, linda, just has to be right because its imported...

And NEW, don't forget that fumanchu, old = useless, and no good (Mr. Blue pipe is also a friend of mine, though much misunderstood by those who do not know him and his ways). I am beginning to think that those of us who have ridden/known horses for 40ish years are very lucky, those who came after us seem to have missed out on knowing the true horsemen and women in this country :)
 
I'm actually saying this in a genuine tone now, but, regarding the things shown in that video.
NH isn't just the cause of being able to do them. I can quite honestly say, a lot of ours would be fine working the same with tack and without it, as the aids shouldn't be sent down through the tack anyway. Classical/traditional/common sense riding,should be solely from your seat and mind and training,so there-fore, should be able to transmit the same aids to get the same response with or without tack. With no labelling it NH or with gimmicks or props etc...just plain good training.
Would you agree?
 
Maybe we should quit dissing it, and think about the benefits of NH. Obviously not many of you will know of any, which is fine. But i feel, as do others, that the tone of this thread has gotten a bit sour.

How do you know how others feel? They haven't said that they feel that the thread has GOT a bit sour, not that I have read. Have you read the comments about the fact that NH is not 'new' as some people seem to think, but something which good horsemen and women have used for years in Britain?

fumanchu sadly I think I may have brought hammer and nail together in the manner you suggest :D (perhaps in this thread I should have hit wooden spike with a rock)
 
ive ridden my mare with no saddle or bridle......no carrot stick or 'games' in sight
tbh i just use common sense around horses. i agree this 'NH' is definately not new- just sold in nice well packaged commercial form......
you have assumed others feelings- as one can see Rema wasnt offended or insulted by my comments......

Here's an interesting analogy for you; look at the state the Catholic church is in, or in fact the Christian faith in general, thanks to a few pervy priests. There are plenty of priests who are doing GOOD, but who are the ones that make the news??? Now, imagine it were the Pope on Youtube abusing a child... and you wonder why people diss Parelli/NH???
