I am interested to know what people really think of 'Parelli' style horse training or are you a staunch traditionalist? I really enjoy watching Pat and Linda Parelli at work and can see totally how their methods work. I admire Richard Maxwell and enjoy his lecture/demos as he combines both natural and tradional methods with great sucess. What is it about 'Parelli' that seems to get people's backs up?
I can honestly say that I am achieving very good results by combining both methods of training with my horse. She has most definitely benefited and improved from Parelli style ground work.
I do believe that any method of training a horse not carried out correctly will have a detramental effect on it and have seen it with 'Natural' training as well as traditional.
Would be interested to hear your views as I find it quite an emotive subject!
