Hey, just wanted to let y'all know, I don't think the way I used to about Parelli.
I've learned alot since then, and know that you can never use just one method. I use a variety of methods, but mostly just my "gut feeling" (as my bro calls it).
I hate his psychology junk, and some of his other parts of training. But, I still use his games, and a couple other things.
I know this topic is sort of unnecessary, but I didn't want y'all to think that I was still a dumb kid who thought Parelli was #1, and worked on all horses.

I'm glad you have learnt that not just one method - especially one as crooked as that one - doesn't work on every horse.

Well, I find that alot of people think it's a scam, but I don't know exactly why. I know it works for alot of people.

| The biggest problem with parelli is they have a big head. Also, they go through many unnesessary hoops, just to sell their products. Several years ago, I was okay with them. I liked how he worked with his horses and all (not as good as others, but they were alright) Now its not even about the horses. The money has gotten to their heads, and they have lost what they had going for them. I hate it, because they give NH a bad name. *rollseyes*

Well, anyone who's smart enough, won't think that Parelli is the only NH guy in the whole world...or so I believe. I mean, there's John Lyons, Clinton Anderson, Stacy Westfall, Bob Avila, and more.

| I would not classify Bob Avila as a NH guy. He's about as NH as Tommy Garland IMO.

| I do mostly parelli but I mix others in as well. Like monty roberts ect. I relize it doesnt work for every horse but it works for mine. You just have to do whats best for you. If you have a trainer that actualy is trained in parelli it helps alot so you dont do it wrong. Ive seen a horse messed up because the girl was supposidly doing "parelli". she was doing it all wrong and didnt know what she was doing. The horse is mine now and hes trained through parelli mostly and is a great horse now. So you need to know what your doing for it to actualy work.

Yes, exactly.
I know/knew what I was doing, but my horse is NOT the normal horse, you'd have to really know him to understand what I mean.
anyways, it doesn't really work on him.
Well, I don't know much about Bob Avila, but I always was thinking he was a NH guy. What's he like?

I'm not his biggest fan. He thinks that the only way for a horse to use his body correctly is to have it's nose three inches off the ground. He stated that in his article in Horse & Rider last September:
A high-headed horse's back will be hollowed, so he can't coil up. Rather than being able to reach deep beneath himself, his hinds legs will lag out behind him. He'll lack the power, athleticism, and movement of a level-necked horse"
His "high-headed horse" carried his head level with his withers.
I'm not a fan of most of the big-time trainers on the AQHA show circuit.
