Welcome to Gaia! ::

i tried, but the horses i train, i dont stay with for long enough, i dont compleatly train horses, i train foals to do things like lift their feet and things, and i train horses to not kill people when there on their back , lmao, u get it.

I'm anti-Parelli. In theory, it's a good idea, in all practicality, it's a nightmare. It applies human psychology to horse behavior and training. Unfortunately all it is is a short cut to attempt to teach people how to handle horses without properly understanding horse behavior. Like all short cuts, only half the job ever gets done. What happens is the people successful with Parelli training methods usually have some sort of horse sense to begin with and more than likely could achieve the same thing with their horse without following the games. Then there's the type of people with so little horse sense they couldn't see it if it nipped them on the butt (literally). These are the kind of people I most frequently see following Parelli, and they just. don't. get it. They end up with a horse that can play all the games hunky-dory, but have no idea why they've done them, or if they run into a more complex issue, how to address it because they don't really have any horse training skills. You can smell them from a mile away. The horse in the ring that never gets its leads, no inkling of roundness or "headset", the horse that fidgets, that walks all over the handler while waiting for a class. 9 times out of 10 the answer to the question "Do you do natural horsemanship?" is yes. It just gives people confidence in a skill they don't have, which is dangerous for the handler, and unfair to the horse. If the handler doesn't even know what they're doing (beyond "the yo-yo game"), how can they teach the horse?

All Parelli's methods are derived from classical horse training. He didn't make these up, he just gave them names and put a price tag on it and marketed them so they are attractive to horse people with minimal horse skills.

Just for fun, check out Linda Parelli working a horse wink
