Your opinion on Parelli

Ya it is always fun to watch the first time a person rides a horse like that. Most of the time they never go back.

Oh yes, and your children do their first cutting in front of a bull, not with a baby calf?
Every body can jump over 1.00m without being good nor with any precision.

Well I think she's having second thoughts about turning her reiner into a jumper....it was too bad I didn't ask her to slide my horse, didn't want to scare her!!! Dashboard!!!

So you have seen the man who have seen the man who have seen the man who have seen the man who have seen the man who have seen the bear.
And know, you know what a bear looks like...

Yes, you lunge horses over jumps and gradually increase the height and decrease the amount of cues you are giving them. Its fairly simple stuff. Its NOT impressive to me, and it never will be. I'm not closed minded, I have tried NH and never found anything I really liked. Now, people come up to me at ranch rodeos and saleyards and ask me and my husband to ride their horses. We have to turn people down because we have too many colts to ride. If you ask me that's a good reputation. And I have a program that works for me very very well. When you train horses for outside people, and have a good reputation in doing so, you might have room to talk. Hell, even if you would educate yourself a little more, you may even have a little more room to talk.. Or maybe even think before you type??

Ya baby steps. I know when I stepped up from Charlie to Cassie it was a world of difference. Heck Gracie stops like her daddy. Nothing like thinking your horse just dropped out from under you.

You don't even know what you are talking about! It's quite sad.... Calves are actually really hard to cut out because they are so little and very quick. You are only making yourself look like a nim-whit...

So what is the sudden need or relevance for PP in the world of dressage or showjumping - are he and the delightful Mrs P somehow going to add something to these disciplines that's been ignored for centuries?
Are they going to put on a show for top riders in these fields and the entire audience is going to shout 'WOW' these guys are so amazing, how have we managed without them for so long? I doubt it.
If I want dressage lessons I go to someone who is skilled and experienced not someone who's just done a short course, same goes for jumping
And showjumpers have been using some ferocious looking bits for a long time - its what gives them the ability to control a highly charged horse in a tight situation - but because they have light hands and know how to use those bits they are able to allow the horse to move forwards when it counts to get over these huge fences and spreads.

Very well said. If you want to learn something go to a live person who actually is proven in that area.

Also I agree. There is no such thing as a harsh bit. Only Harsh hands.

Good for you if you make your living.
But surely you able to do one thing, and just one thing (and certainly not have your horses jump over something big ).
