Less Parelli. Seriously, that's the only NH in the magazine, and it seems like a huge advertisement for his methods. How about just about anyone else? Different clinician every month, or on a rotation?

| How about some techiniques on reading your horses behavoir -and what they are telling us with certain body guestures- I may be able to offer some of this kind of stuff- How about a short picture clip of a horse following and playing games and what language is happing there also on the ground I mean-My horse will follow me around like a puppy and play like a horse and I wonder what's going thru his head - ?

In the early days of our Country where ever you saw a human foot print there was a horse print right behind it. The Wild mustang is A national treasure ! The feeling I get off a herd of wild horses Cannot be explained -when they run its as pure as energy gets.The American Indians knew there horses better than any. Sometime try riding your horse at gallop with no saddle and hands free shooting a bow Its tough.

Agreed, enough with the Parelli already! I realize that he's popular with your primary target audience and that he buys a lot of advertising space, but he's not the end-all, be-all of natural horsemanship. And because he only offers up general Level 1 information for free, it's really just the same information recycled over and over.
I'd like to see monthly profiles on various NH-focused clinicians and their methods, including performance records - what disciplines, if any, the clinicians have competed in, any competitions they've won, or what horses have been successfully and professionally shown using that clinician's methods. THAT is the meat of it all. I'm a lot more interested in what a particular method has accomplished than marketing hype. If a clinician's method is truly effective and viable, he or she should be able to show proof of results.

Branching off a bit from what Woodrow's Mommy said, you could possibly do a section about people time people who show that have used NH. I'm not really into NH, but I won't deny it works for some. A lot of people don't believe NH works for horses that show and this simply isn't true. Maybe you could feature some of these show circuit people who used NH as their base training. I know the O'Connors use it, and I'm sure you could find others out there.

Definintly. The Parelli stuff has actually turned me off greatly from your magazine, because I'm going in looking for info that will help me, and there is just pages of Parelli's over marketed products . . .
I'd prefer it if there was more alternative NH stuff, stuff that I might actually (doubt it, but maybe) try with my horse. I don't like Parelli's theories, and it seems to be the only NH stuff that HI publishes, give us some different glimpses into the world of NH, not just the Parelli products that are shoved at us all the time in the horse world. Stuff that ISN"T marketed everywhere on every shelf in every barn. Show us some new stuff that is less over marketed.

I find it interesting about human nature -How people put someone up on the pedistal -Pat Parelli -and then once up there they get tired of it and want to tear them down -Pat deserves credit -now I can't say I agree with all the stuff an the cost of some of the stuff- But the Man is a true Horseman and his wife Linda has offered The communication skills he lacks -there a great team -Jesse

If a clinician's method is truly effective and viable, he or she should be able to show proof of results. I agree. While Pat and Linda Parelli may be some of the best known 'NH' clinicians of today, there are others out there. I'd like to know who these others are and learn about their methods as well. I pretty much get turned off by those that are big time into marketing their product. Way back when, NH trainers didn't do a bunch of marketing and yet they still had people showing up to learn from them. Isn't there anyone out there like that today?

| I would like to see some articles maybe by Gawani Ponyboy. He is another great horseman and natural horsemanship user that deserves some major credit. Plus, it would be interesting for everyone to see things from his perspective. I'm not saying I don't enjoy the Parelli stuff, but, maybe you could alternate between different natural horsemen as well. Like Parelli one month, Gawani Pony boy the next, another the next. Just my thoughts though. I personally don't have a problem with how the magazine is at the moment.
