Horseforum's "Road to the Horse"

How about a "Road to The Horse" Competition for the current members(the ones signed up now, it would keep out the ringers)
I have a great place to do it.
Would give everyone a chance to have fun and to see in real time each person training style.
I have been reading posts, it would really help to get ideas across!

"Road To The Horse"
Road to the Horse is a one-of-a-kind experience that combines education and entertainment for an all out horsemanship experience. The competition takes three internationally known, elite horse trainers and clinicians and puts them up against each other for the esteemed title of Road to the Horse Champion. These competitors choose a horse out of the remuda, a group of 10 horses, and they begin building a relationship between horse and human. Unlike a horse show, these competitors are judged not only on a final test of skill, but the means to the end result. The goal of Road to the Horse is to teach horsemen and women that natural horsemanship is a kinder, gentler way of working with horses.

Nobody, you always come back to very direct questions with a long diatribe that makes it sound like we were personally insulting your loved one.

I have read this whole thread. It is very clear that we are talking about Parelli as a trainer, not as a human being.

So it is nice that you are again reminding us that you like him as a trainer and not a person. You still have not answered the very direct questions I asked. Please answer them.




What is your horse experience? Are you a trainer? What type of riding do you do? Do you show? At what level? Do you have any horses that you have (personally) have trained from start to finish?



PS, Mentioning someone does not always mean they are saying something good. :wink:


Edit to add (because Corino posted while I was posting) - I agree with Corino. Though I would never even slightly imply I am a trainer, period. I know my limits. Which is something I think says a lot more about a horseman than being able to boast you can do things.
 
#216 ·
Ohhh and I figured this should be mentioned.

I know that training does not always make for the prettiest riding. In that video, he is obviously NOT training. He is riding.

I am not saying I am a super rider. Im not. I know more about Physics than I do about Reining or Dressage. And that ain't saying much!

Forget it Always, the troll will never answer these direct questions.

I say ignore it, and it will go away. Trolls crave attention, nothing more. They'll never answer anything directly, and will only post blathering obfuscations.

Trolls aren't worth getting your knickers in a twist, because that's what they're aiming to do; annoy the audience.

Meh...if I didn't have 2 kids to keep up on and a husband who would starve to death without dinner on the table at 6...I would nudge reiner out of the way and take you up on it. The man is *always* keeping this girl down.

You wouldn't mind that I am broke as a joke and couldnt bring much more than my pride to this competition right?
 
#251 ·
I put it on the line every time I enter the arena.

Every time one of my foals goes into the area I put it on the line.
 
#255 ·
I,like many on this forum do "The road to the horse" every day with no crowds and much less money.

We feed,groom and care for our horses and we ride.
We train and help to make our horses life better than it was.
We don't have film crews or CD's for sale and we don't get a lot of requests for our autographs.
We also come here to help other with their horses.
 
#257 ·
I have the best idea of the day. I swear...its a real GEM!

Nobody. Post a video of you riding. Nothing fancy. You don't have to dig into the vaults of you riding at the WEG. Just a straight up riding video. Walk-Trot-Canter would be great...if you could throw something in for the reining people to judge, that would be awesome.

We will all collectivly judge you against PP. Like the two of you were in a show!

Its a win-win for you! If we find that PP rides better, you have 'solidified' your point. If we find that you ride better than PP...well theres QUITE an accomplishment.

Are you game?!
 
#260 ·
I love Corino too. And not just because she eats paste. Mint paste.


BTW Corino, you have to get your second husband working harder, he can make dinner for hubby #1 and clean the house, you can sit on the couch and eat bonbons. What a plan!
 
#267 ·
pssht....thats why I am on the computer now! I have my minions out working for money. I cleaned yesterday...thats enough for me! Now I am just working on turning my kids out in the back yard like a pack of wild dogs and coming back to playing on the computer. Motherhood at its best!

Besides...my coffee intake is way too low to be dealing with this thread...let alone a 2 and a 4 year old!
 
#271 ·
Oh and because I eat paste...does that automatically qualify me as a troll? Even if my paste eating days are over??

Oh and strawberry paste sounds disgusting. Yuck. Mint or nothing! Maybe a little paste flavored paste...but if I have a choice...it will be mint!

Naw, not everyone who eats paste is a troll. Although I do have to question their sanity as well as their taste buds! :shock:

Always, Lexi won't hunt for anything unless she actually sees it. Remember, as Danes get older they resemble nothing so much as breathing furniture.

Love me some charred swine flesh. Don't much care for beef ribs, but if there are pork ribs, get outta my way!

Last revised: 8/10/2008

Note: Avatar image sizes are currently limited to 200 x 200 pixels and signature image sizes are limited to 468 x 60.

The Rules:

1- Please thoroughly read the rules before posting.
All posters must make themselves familiar with the forum rules so they can have a better understanding of the board.

2- No cursing, profanity, swearing, or comments said with the intent of hurting another user.
This includes, but is not limited to racial slurs and comments about another users religion or country. You may not flame another user because of their beliefs, training methods, or anything else. Furthermore, if you have an issue with another user do not bring it to the public forums. Settle your dispute in private or contact a Moderator.

3- This forum is PG Rated, and all threads should follow the forum's rating. No adult themes.
The exception to this rule being conversation over private horse matters such as sheath cleaning and breeding. Any topics about this must remain clean and mature.

4- Please do not use excessive Net-Speak.
Please spell out your words. For example: Say "Your" instead of "ur", and say "to" instead of "2" etc. Keep in mind, that not all members of this forum speak English as a first language, it is already hard enough for them to translate our slang terms but the net-speak makes it a lot harder for them, since there is no way to translate it. Furthermore, do not type in all caps, or in alternating caps, or use excessive exclamation points or question marks. (Example. DONT TYPE LIKE THIS oR LiKe ThIs!!!!!111!!!!!????///)

5- Please title your threads properly.
When posting a thread in which you need help, don't title the thread "Help". Title the thread something more appropriate that pertains to what you need help with. This way you are more likely to get a response, and other users that have the same question or problem may not repost the topic since there was already a discussion on it.

6- No flooding or spamming the forums or the threads.
Do not post repetitive topics in one forum or post multiple times back to back. If you need to edit your post to add something you forgot, there is an Edit button you may use.

7- Respect your fellow members.
Please respect all members and their beliefs. Sometimes people think it is ok to criticize someone based on their training methods or riding style. This boils down to "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all". If someone posts about jumping 3 feet for the first time, and you don't like jumping, then ignore the post. On the other hand, if someone posts a thread saying that their training method is the best, you -do- have the right to respectfully disagree with them in a kind, non attacking way.

8- Please do not post pictures to be critiqued of anyone other then yourself.
If a member chooses to post a picture to be critiqued, the member is required to only post pictures of themselves and of no other person. Forum members can however, post pictures of other horses. This rule only applies in the critique section. Members are free to post appropriate pictures as they please when necessary in any other section.

9- If you want to promote a website you must link to the Horse Forum at http://www.horseforum.com from the site you are promoting.
This forum was made primarily to bring horse enthusiasts together to discuss and share our horses, and have a safe place to ask questions. We have learned from experience that allowing people who wish to promote and advertise here free reign quickly detracts from the nature of the community. Therefore, the Horse Forum reserves the right to exercise its discretion to prohibit or allow advertising and website promotion. A lot of work goes into growing and maintaining the Horse Forum, so we require that people looking to promote websites link to the Horse Forum from the sites they promote. This way, sites receiving the benefit of the effort that goes into the Horse Forum community give something back. For the same reason, links to other horse forums are not allowed.

10- Do not ask for donations or hand outs.
If you need money offer something in return such as Artwork, Tack, or other various items for sale. Do not ask for free money. Posts asking for help in coming up with ideas to make quick money are permitted.

11- Posts cannot be removed.
Removing your posts would ruin the threads they are a part of. For that reason, once you post, your posts become a part of the Horse Forum and will not be removed.

12- The Horse Forum is not for make believe.
While we're fond of daydreaming, and the discussion of possibilities, the horse forum is not a place for making things up and passing them off as the truth. If it becomes evident that a member has been making things up, and a determination is made that other members' time and energy has been wasted as a result, that member's access may be restricted. Similarly, if there is reason to believe that two members are the same person, one or both members may have their access restricted. That said, members are more than welcome to play games or engage in appropriate role playing in the Games forum when making the character of their posts explicit.

Failure to follow the rules can result in a temporary, or permanent banning.

It is up to the Moderators and Administrators judgment to protect the forums and uphold these rules. If you feel you have been wronged, send a Private Message to the Moderator that you believed to have wronged you and state in a mature manner why you believe you have been wronged. They also have the right to edit your post to take out an offensive statement, or delete your post/thread if they feel you have broken the rules.

Conscientious Etiquette Policy

The Horse Forum was created so that people can discuss horses in a friendly, fun, helpful environment. While the Horse Forum is open to the public, we reserve the right to restrict access to those who undermine our efforts to preserve the character of the community.

Please exercise what we call conscientious etiquette when you post. This means that you keep the objective of preserving the forum's friendly, fun, helpful environment in the forefront of your mind as you write your message.

If your post is nasty, condescending, rude, etc., regardless of how subtle, and whether shrouded in the form of opinion or otherwise, it is subject to be removed and your access to the Horse Forum may be restricted.

This applies to the Critique forum as well. People come here because they are passionate about their horses. Naturally, a biting critique about an animal a person is passionate about can be very hurtful. While a request for critique implicitly invites criticism, the sensitive nature of such topics is all the more reason to post conscientiously, keeping the other person's feelings in mind.

Our interest in preserving the nature of the community trumps our interest in allowing everyone to share their opinion here. If you can't share your opinion in such a way so as to preserve the friendly, fun, helpful nature of the community, don't.

Please exercise conscientious etiquette when you post. Please use the alert button to notify the Horse Forum Staff when you read something by somebody who clearly hasn't.

If you have any questions, please contact a moderator or Administrator.

Thank you,
Administrator

My judgement was impaired in the first grade. I had a thing for Jimmy in the second row. Paste eating was the only way to cope with the pain when he pegged me in the face during kick ball. *sigh*
 
#281 ·
I can totally see how that would damage you!

Gosh, it is a good thing you only turned to paste.



I do not like my food overly spicy so I do like Buffalo style chicken wings, but not super hot. I totally love Buffalo style chicken wing pizza. Drool!
 
#283 ·
Oh I put the popsicle stick full of paste down years ago. I still get the cravings but the shock therapy has helped me to control myself.

I love buffalo anything. Ooh...Buffalo paste might be worth a try!
 
#285 ·
Kitten, maybe you should start a marketing move to have paste come out in better flavors?

You could get rich.

Make it vitamin enriched too, so the kids that eat it will at least get their vitamins.



Edit to add - I have not had a chance to try Indy's yummy sounding fish taco recipe (mentioned in the other Parelli thread) yet. I have to make them some time my hubby does not want to eat too. He almost freaked when I said I wanted to make fish tacos.

I think corino already proposed to go with buffalo flavor. It's better to patent it before it's stolen! :-p
 
#287 · (Edited)
Y'all are pukin' me out. :-x

Eating paste and thinking dirty, scruffy, unwashed, unshaven men who need a good scrubbing are smexy. Blech!

Kitten, sure the coastal folks have blue crabs, but I'm nowhere near the coast any longer. In MD I lived just off the Chesapeake Bay. Here in VA, I'm pretty much landlocked.

I don't eat raw oysters or clams, anyway. I've always called 'em 'snot on the half shell'.

*pokes speed racer delicately on the shoulder.

Psssst...that conversation was in another thread, in the saloon, not here in the general forum.
