I'm not replying to any comments because I don't wanna hear your crap xD I LOVE Parelli methods... I've been using them on my EXTREMELY stubborn, and nervous abused mare and the methods work beautifully. Sure, recently the prices are skyrocketing and everything is so expensive, but I enjoy these methods so much and I buy everything... my horse now loves me and is becoming more responsive to my "suggestions" (commands for you traditional trainers) and I'm just so happy. I'd join if I were you :D

@Copper2903 WHAT??? Just buy John Lyons dvds much cheaper and he is extremely, alot better than Pat Parelli
-
@hyperfocus2011 uh....they typically don't live anywhere near that long...but i get your point

@Copper2903 I agree. I went to see Parelli back in the 90's. He was a great person, and he took his time to talk to everyone after his clinic but I left that day feeling like Parelli was just a gimmick for money. I didn't get anything out of his clinic, he left so many holes in his demonstration I felt like I HAD to buy his kits to work his methods. Check out Cherry Hill (the author) she was doing parelli stuff before parelli started marketing his methods.

@hyperfocus2011 lmao..that Horse would be a lot older in that video, Horses live 20+ years depending on their Health/Bloodline..not 40+
-
@hyperfocus2011 ....you got that right. I've got one that I'd be glad to loan him for a day or two and see how that works out.

No matter how much I love parelli and wonder how amazing it is, it always makes me unhappy that you have to be rich to afford to buy the equitment, some of the dvd are over £1000! And some could say "Well if you really wanted it you would save up" but I can't save that much, a starter kit is over £100 and I would feel guilty making my parents buy that for me. We can't all afford a class arena or a round pen, we play around in a field. Parelli is a rip off. Yes its amazing but its still a rip off

@SuperShezza1982 This is a plain rope halter, not a "pressure halter". It allows the use of comfort and discomfort (something horses understand) to be used effectively. Have you seen horses use teeth and heels? Then you've seen the equivalent of NH tools. It is called natural horsemanship because the principles are natural to the horse. Please do some more research; you will see how much the Parellis have to offer you and your horse.

i don't see how this is natural horsemanship? How can a pressure halter and a stick be natural? I have never seen a wild horse go around with a stick and a pressure halter to get respect.
Horses bite each other. That's natural. You don't need to be too fluffy about it. They bite, kick, and shove if subtler suggestions don't work. That is the way of the horse. Your horse should always be lower in the pecking order than you! If not, you have a serious injury in your future. You need to spend some time watching wild horses interact. Horse training can be natural but that doesn't always make it gentle. Some horses need you to get firm!
