Is Parelli bad for the brain?

I think that video clip is probably the ONLY serious bit, and it features on one of her training DVD's (is that - HOW MUCH ???) I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong. There was a massive hoo-hah over it, and if you can be bothered, Linda Parelli puts her side of the story on Utube - under Linda Parelli apology or sommit. Yeah, sorry her whole parelli multi-million business has now hit the horse ****.

Carry on as normal chaps... :D sm x

Ahhhh that’s why it’s called "Natural Horsemanship" have often seen horses behaving like this to each other!

Seriously though, I understand that this thread is a wind up but I haven't seen that clip before and have to say it brought a lump to my usually fairly unemotional) throat. :(

That thread has been about for yonks - get over it!

Funny? I don't think so. This thread is about the most ignorant, insulting, even racist rubbish I have ever read. Where are the mods when you need them??

Racism? Where? That is a rather serious nasty word to be chucking about IMO.

Or is Parelli now a recognised ethnic group?
 
I know I was going to go to bed but I found a bottle of Ouzo in the cupboard so going to drink some of that then top it up with water so no-one ever knows..... ;)

I have to say that i'm somewhat of a parelli expert as some of the older forum members will know.And i often play eight games with my horses..i do not use the conventional 'kit' but i use a gym ball from argos,a bamboo cane with string and tarpauling from b&q.

I do play the normal seven games but have also used my own games aswell.i cannot recomend tail pulling enough.if you have horses with trust issues it can really help them.if you stand behind your horse in a school and gently yank the tail untill the horse reverses towards you,once the horses have got the hang of it you can 'pull' them around the school several times.My horses love this game and the bond between him and me is amazing.

Alot of people diss parelli because they are not experianced enough to know when the horse is respecting and giving to you.They take there horse into the school and try a game but when the horse does not react the way you think it should they bad mouth parelli.It can takes months to get the horse to be at one with you it wont happen overnight.So dont give up.

In total agreement with this post.
For some people NH methods or Parelli are brilliant and really work.
For me and my new horse is the only way to go.
I treat him as an intelligent sensitive but very different, being and he treats me with the same respect I give him. Its never about dominance , always about gentle understanding and respect that works both way.
I am naturally very good at training animals from guinea pigs in my youth to my JRT who performs a range of tricks. It has to be something you are intuitive about naturally and is quite an intellectual process. You can't just go and buy the kit(s) and get perfect results. Its a subject that needs alot of study and practice. Parelli is really only as good as the trainer using it - its not just a methodology.

£££££££££££££££££££££'s and havnt they earnt it...well done Mr and Mrs Parelli on you amazing horsemanship skills :D
 
First of all: Thank you guys, I have laughed a lot in this thread :P Well done for keeping it (mostly) light-hearted.

With regards to the video, as an owner of a one-eyed horse, you can imagine how angry that video makes me feel as most one-eyed horses are quite headshy. I am seriously protective of my boy and I can safely say that if Linda Parelli were ever to come near him or any of my horses (but particularly the one-eyed one) I would probably soon be serving a life sentence in jail!! Doing that to any horse is inexusable, but to one that can't see her half of the time makes me want to tear her into pieces!

Apologies, rant over!! I now have to go and play with my one-eyed horse. We haven't used the carrot stick yet today and as I payed over £200, I really feel I should use it every day.

Also, my horses don't really like my orange ball that I bought for £180, so I thought I would offer it to you guys at the bargain price of £380! Aren't I lovely? :D
