Yes, Parelli has started working with the Humane Society and taking horses and working them at the Celebrations and then adopting them out at the end of the 4 days. It's wonderful!

I think you just summed up why I stay out of "Parelli" type conversations. The mindset you just described above.

Lets not turn this into a Parelli bashing thread. Somehow, every positive post that has something to do with Parelli gets turned into a bashing fest. And always by the same individuals.

While I do think that Parelli has about 80% (and if not more) to do with this, I also think that the handler of the horse has to play a big part in it as well. Anyone can do Parelli, but not everyone can do it right. And anyone who can do it right, doesn't necessarily have the right mindset and skills to transform a horse.

Good job, SpiritHorse! I think it's wonderful that you can accomplish something like this with the right kind of mindset.(:

OK now I am anti Parelli! I can't support anyone that works with the Humane Society.

Thats great it has a new home but if it was sucessfully shown, surely it just means something has slipped out of place in the field or wherever and is now causing some back pain?

That's a sweet story - I like happy endings! I am glad you've realized success with your horse and I hope this lady can do wonders with the rescue!

I hope you realize that Parelli bashing threads seem to have the same common denominator...you. Please don't blame the bashing on us, realize that your preaching(which is exactly what it is) is unwanted/unnecessary just like religious preaching. We don't force our views on you, so please stop trying to assimilate us. All I was trying to say is that this is real life, not a fairy tale with all happy endings. Sometimes things don't work out as planned regardless of our best attempts. Have your views, but don't just dismiss realism as bashing. I'm sure I could've done wonders with that horse because I'm committed, dedicated, and concerned for the horse's well-being, but I don't believe in Parelli. IMO, the golden rule is to find what works and adapt to our horses needs. "There's more than one way to skin a cat."

Have a great day:)

I hope you don't mind me asking you this, but...

Why don't you support the Humane Society?

Just wondering. XD
