Your opinion on Parelli

When the film came out in the UK Monty Roberts leapt right on to the bandwagon and really did sell himself as a Horse Whisperer and since Buck was never mentioned or stuck his hand up the award went to Monty - in fact I would say its only since the film was made about Buck that he became well known in the UK and appeared on some TV stations talking about himself - always sounding so modest & humble
A lot of wannabee american cowboys jumped into bed with Monty and sucked it all in - these had to be all very amateur and gullible people as the average experienced UK horsepeople were pissed off that some american thought we needed to learn how to break horses without cruelty when our own non cruel methods had been successful for hundreds of years.

Her uninformed, ignorant rantings and insults come across loud and clear, so I hardly think it's a 'cultural misunderstanding'.

^^exactly. Misunderstanding?? No.. Ignorance? Definitely..

You're flattering me, really!

“For what the horse does under compulsion, as Simon also observes, is done without understanding; and there is no beauty in it either, any more than if one should whip and spur a dancer.” Xenophon


Centuries ago, they already knew that...

Have fun guys!

^^ Ever see the bits Xenophon used?

And your point being?.. No one here ever said they whip and spur their horses....

Oh come on now! We use bits, so obviously we whip and spur our horses. Didn't you get the memo?

Haha! I just beat my horses to no end. I'm such an abuser! I also break their "skulls" with bits.. I'm surprised someone hasn't turned me in yet!!

I don't use whips, I use a 2X4 with nails in it. Works so much better than any wimpy whip!

Now all I need is PP to cure me of my evil ways.
