Linda Parelli riding for Walter Zettl

This is Linda Parelli doing a collected trot, walk to canter/canter to walk transitions, and flying lead changes for dressage master Walter Zettl. This was at the February 1, 2009 Parelli Celebration.

Lol. FAIL.

I'm very entertained by the comments of the crowd. Apparently they think she's doing some kind of horse magyck thats never before been seen. But I guess if you spend all your time chasing your horse with a carrot stick then you might not have had time to see mediocre piaffe/passage attempts and stiff lead changes.

"Waaa!! Oh my gosh!" ROFL!!

I am very entertained by the fact that you think Parelli is 'chasing your horse with a carrot stick.' You've obviously had some very poor sampling.

My pony used to be impossible to load (grain, whips, nothing worked), and by the time we got her in the trailer she was a nervous wreck. After doing some quality 'carrot stick chasing' for 15 minutes, I was able to stand outside the trailer, point at it, and she walked in and stayed in happily and calmly. And she still does, two years later.

What the hell is she playing at riding a horse of this level. That poor horse is a ST. for staying sane with her on, what from her bracing arms with no feel, the horse being slightly strung out in the back pounding on his forhand like it weighs 10,000lbs. She is just doing this because they think dressage riders are cash cows. This amateur rider cannot ride worth a crap and I would not even trust her to be put in a training level test let alone on a GP dressage horse. And people bash Anky, LOL!

[jillismyname100]

haha, someone's more than a little jealous.

[overopainthorseluver]

No not jelous, just sad that Walter sold out to these sick peoples antics to tackle the dressage world, which they once bashed. I was overdramatic in my post, but its going to be a bitch for that poor man to reschool that horse after she just gave it a pulling session with her broken wrists and non-giving feel. But hey who am I? It just angers me that people actually support these psychos, when it plainly shows right here even after months of prep Walter is still not able to influence her. :)

[jillismyname100]

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. I refuse to continue having a discussion with someone as dim-witted and close minded as you.

[kingal2]

Lol. FAIL

Personal attacks do not make an opinion right. I thought that was OBVIOUS. ;-) I'm glad carrot stick play worked for you and your pony. As for my comment it was more an affront to the morons wielding the camera who think a flying change is so amazing. Get out and see some stuff, people. Eight year olds on ponies can do flying changes. Sheesh.

"Waaa!! Oh my gosh! Sooooo good!!"

Lol. Pony magycks.

First of all, I am SICK and TIRED OF ALL THE PARELLI HATERS! It is a free country. We have a choice to practice what we want! Besides, WE have the best interest of the horse in mind! Can I say the same for you??? Or do you just like to use your horses!? and are you too closed minded for anything else?

[horsechick861]

@overopainthorseluver What the hell are you talking about! 

[jeaninedressage]

@kingal2 couldn't have said it better myself :)

FYI.....I'm almost certain she is riding her DWB Remmer, who is parelli trained. Just wanted to clear that up.

Parelli is a sad excuse for Nat. Horsemanship.

I love natural horsemanship, and I can tell you that Parelli is the crappiest excuse for it out there. All Linda and Pat Parelli did was market the idea of Natural Horsemanship to a bunch of idiots who didn't know what they were looking at.

True natural horsemanship is done with the heart and doesn't involve beating the horses in the face or twitching them to force bridles on....

@iroquoisgp she trained this horse herself- he was once a VERY VERY troubled horse.

[lillynprinceton]

If you ever listen to her, she SAYS she is NOT trying to show off, like she is a big dressage star! She was also giving a demo/talking showing a large crowd what she is and can do while explaining it to them. Btw, whoever video taped this, you do know your not suppose to video durring the celebrations?

Hey for those who dont like her, look up a video of her bridless riding... then say bad stuff, if you still beleive it.

[TheRugger4]

fantastic..... Linda great once again

[TheRugger4]

@iroquoisgp well i would love to see you train etc some of the horses pat and linda train and in fact save. you are the monkey....... dont comment when you have no idea what she does

[gentlehorseman]

This is the best I've seen LP ride, but stiff shoulders and arms, won't exactly help the horse. She needs to work on her posture and breathing, she is so tense.
