I couldn't watch that as I just feel sick the min I hear her voice.
So from what I understand she is teaching you how to HIT the horse right
I thought Parelli was ment to be a kinder way to treat a horse. Oh I forgot it's just about making money isn't it not about the horses welfair. I have a horse whos been messed up by Parelli and it's taking me along time to regain his trust. I hate to think what this poor little pony went though before I took him on. I'm just glad he's safe now and hope people will soon see Parelli for what it is. Expencive horse abuse.

that's pure and simple abuse really. when she has the white horse what is she trying to teach it being near a person is bad as he got punished everytime he was near his rider, who at one point he sniffed her for reassurance didnt get any though did he poor sod all they are teaching is the horse must jump/move everytime you do? how is that teaching it to be calm and co-operative?

I only watched the 1st minute or so.... but effectively she's teaching someone how to flick a rope so it "snaps" and hits the horse in the face?
Nice!

Ditto this, can't understand it at all. Why would you want a horse that will end up spooky of YOU and also most probably headshy! The thing that gets me the most with the Pepperoni technique is there is just never any reward for the horse. How are they possibly meant to know when they are doing the right thing if they just get punished for every step they make? Morons!!

The more I read about her, the more I want to slap her round the face with a muddy boot.
ETA So basically, flap around and hit your horse in the face, so it is so scared to come near to you.! She looks so rough and agressive and the poor horse just looks confused and upset. Blooming idiot woman.

I've heard her say that alot. I always think "HA HA Linda come and try that with Horrid, He'll launch himself at you and stamp on you with both front feet"
I'd never let her near him realy, She'd undo 8 months work in 8 seconds with the way she handles horses

God I wish she and her stupid sun visor would just vanish.

What a plank. One day hopefully she'll meet a horse that'll flatten her and save someone else the trouble!

Parelli is about making the horse more scared of you than it is of anything else. Simples.
I've known it work with some horses but all you end up doing is breaking there spirit and you end up with a VERY unhappy horse who has no bond with you but does everything you tell it to just so you won't hit it anymore.

Ah linda, my idol.
I like how she hits the grey on the nose with the carrot stick for being confused.
She needed to 'protect herself'... you know, because he's being so aggressive in his walking around next to her, sometimes sniffing the grass, and putting up with being hit on the nose. That's a dangerous horse right there.

How/Why on Earth do Parelli have such a huge following?

It's a cult. The followers are brainwashed and really do believe all the pseudo-science carp about their horses only thinking with one side of their brain at a time.

I don't quite know how to put this into words, but LP looks so busy and tense.... The horse is excited and interested in its surroundings. What would be wrong with CALMLY getting the horse to pay attention to you without all the flapping, ropes and sticks flying etc. She just looks angry with her body language.
The "looks at how safe I am this far away" comment made me laugh. We had a Parelli person at our yard who always tried to walk that far away from her horse. More than once he spun and kicked her!

Because it sounds good on paper, all natural and kind blah blah blah! I didn't realise how much wacking, flapping, spooking, hitting etc goes into it! These videos will hopefully wise people up.

OMG I am gobsmacked, what the **** is she doing to that poor horse? The bit where Linda takes over about 5.26 that poor little horse is just walking along quite happily then she starts yanking him about and chasing him backwards
Now she's telling her to make the clip hit him in the face! Can't watch any more, stupid stupid woman

Ahh we do not understand....the horse surely appreciates the challenge of being confused as to why it is constantly being hit........ MAY THE PARELLIS PRAY FOR US!!
I was NEVER a fan of parelli and I find some of their methods dusgusting to watch! I cannot wait for the day they start on a not so honest horse and recieve some of the treatment they dish out!!

At 3.15 or so, why on earth did she hit him in the face ??????? Shocked. If she whipped my pony in the face like that Id have FREAKED! Cant stand this woman she infuriates me. I feel she likes it when they are naughty, she gets a kick out of it when she has to reprimand. I can hear it in her voice. Check it out at just before 10 mins. Pony is actually behaving but is being used to teach the owner the 'snap'. One confused and abused pony.

I only watched the first few minutes as I hate winding myself up watching things like this.
Is this a typical example of Parelli in action? I've never read too much into it but thought it was like Monty Roberts/Intelligent Horsemanship type thing, which seemed alright to me

Words fail me.
What a complete tool that woman is. No, sorry a tool has a use normally and as far as I can tell that woman has no use whatsoever. She is an afront to the senses.

Monty roberts doesn't use sticks and big arse clips to whack a horse in the head. I've only ever seen him use a dually and a lunge line to drive a horse in a round pen, He works mainly using body language.

What the hell is she trying to achive? getting him to move backwards/move out of her space? just looks like she's scaring the poor bugger, poor thing doesn't know if it coming or going

Seems to me her methods involve making the horse scared to move, rather than teaching it to have respect for you. What maddens me more, is these people allow her to do it to their horses!
