Your opinion on Parelli

^ I know...where did the "hateful" come into play? None of us on here...and I mean NONE of us, have a hateful view of our horses. We have a REALISTIC view of our horses. To say we have a hateful view is rude, insulting and extremely presumptious. Not necessary at all Padrona...and as matter of fact, speak for yourself. You have no right to cast judgement and presume in such a manner.

I never said I followed or even liked any of them. Quite frankly, I don't really care for big name clinician trainers. GotaDunQH said exactly what I was going to say. None of them reall are trainers IMO. It's easy to do something when you are good at marketing yourself. When your outside doing it for a living and working with what you have, and still cranking out great horses, then your a trainer. The others? They may have some good things in their methods, but they are salesman more than anything..

Thing is you can not lump Stacy into that group. She is not a clinician trainer. Although she does do a few but so do all reining trainers. NRHA promotes the top trainers doing clinics. Stacy still trains horses. More hers then out side horses at this point but she is still training and still showing reiners.

I never stated Stacey was a big name trainer. Stacy's a good rider, although I've never watched her videos on training, so I can't say much. But most in the spotlight arent the greatest trainers, nor horseman. Just good marketers...

She was on the list you quoted. So I wanted to point out that she really does not fit into that list.

Yes Wanstrom, please do a search for that paragon of virtue. I think you'll find my description is rather understated.

Folks who don't like Parelli have been outspoken, but some of the comments made about their style of riding were...well, a bit more than outspoken, IMHO.

For Pegasus1:

I read down through some of the threads on different trainers.BTW, I do not understand how some members cannot debate an issue without being rude and obnoxious.I will weigh in on this one.I do not follow any specific trainer.I have watched Monty Roberts ,PP, Clinton Anderson, ,BB, David Lee archer,Rick Gore [dare I say it],Mia , Eva Roemaat and many others.I have taken bits and pieces from them all.Basically whatever worked best with my 2 geldings. I don't hold anyone as being a divine entity when it homes to horse training.Here is a quote for some of you "“Rudeness is the weak mans imitation of strength.” Eric Hoffer
