Is he a zombie too?
A zombie that rollkurs?
oh wait…I think I’m getting off topic again.[/QUOTE]
SHHHHHHHHHH! BLUESY! You’re gonna get us in trou-blllllle!
Wouldn’t rollkur on a zombie horse result in… some… separation anxiety? 
Runs squealing into the jungle
Like his head snapping off? That’s what the reins are for, silly!
As in the jaw separating from the skull? Yup. But that is what duct tape and binder twine are for.
Blue tongue schmloo tongue…it isn’t dead-rollkuring until the tongue is covered in arena sand.
My trainer yells at me, and rightly so, when my arms get that disconnected from my body…but even I, bottom feeder first level rider that I am, don’t swing my legs in concert with my arms…
I wish the video were better quality so that I could really evaluate the horse’s response. I know what my horse’s response would have been!!
You are just a Kohlrabi stick swinging mortal! :lol:
I think Linda looks like a puppet in a windstorm:lol:

If you go to
http://parellihorsemanship.wordpress.com/2010/03/14/a-message-from-parellis-neil-pye-3/
there are all sorts of ProParelli’s protesting “This is not abuse” but if you search the page for abuse, there are really very few posters saying that it is abuse, just ineffective and STUPID.
They are getting all defensive about statements that haven’t even been made!
The parent in me thinks they are protesting to much “Oh no mom I didn’t eat the cookies the dogs must have gotten them”
you know, looking at the argument going on in the above link had me thinking.
school boys (humans) beat the tar out of each other as part of their social development. they’ll punch and kick and wrestle with each other, and walk away laughing. Daddy would go to jail if he punched his kid… so just because horses will spar in the pasture together doesn’t make it okay to clock your horse in the face with a metal object to communicate.
A horse knows the difference between an adult human, child, horse, foal, cow, goat, deer, mountain lion, dog, llama, emu etc. A horse also is smart enough to act in a different way to each type. I think a horse knows the difference between a cougar on its back and a human and also a human at the end of a lead rope and a horse nearby.
But what can you argue with some folks when they comment like this,
“Everyday I lead people to Parelli, and they are thankful for it. Savvy on!”
Replace Parelli with Christ/God of your choice and hey you need the devil-which used to be dressage and I guess now it is rolkur?!:lol:
The posts in the links seem perfectly consistent with many, many posts in general about Parelli fans over the years. All they know, they learned from the Parellis. Everyone else is just wrong. LaLaLaLaLa. As suggested, more of a cult thing than a serious horsemanship thing. P.T. Barnum is smiling.
Somebody get back to me when a Parelli Program Graduate- heck, make that valedictorian- does something like, oh, I dunno, win a ribbon at a horse show?

Well, there was that Parelli competition team. . .apparently they won some ribbons in dressage. . .most of which the result of being in VERY small classes, or being the ONLY one in the class.
The one class somebody else rode, this other person took first, too 
DAMN! I could have ridden in those classes, and won, and added to my ribbon horde!
Yep
This is what is posted on the website
The show was a wonderful success. The team entered a total of 18 classes and brought home 18 ribbons total: four 4th place, four 3rd place, four 2nd place, six 1st place and one Championship.
I don’t know where the 6 first places came from! Haven’t seen those–do know that at least 1 was from only 1 in the class, and places 1-4 was from being the only one in the class with 4 entries-all one student! OF COURSE they’ll come home with ribbons-I’d have alot more respect for them if they would’ve competed against Lynn Palm at the show!
Reminding you that these are Parelli’s elite instructors! People that have been studying theprogram for years…and they are in basic (I’m guessing intro level??):lol:
Studying that long with a real dressage instructor, I would hope to be at least in level 1 classes!
One of the riders was the Para rider.
She actually looked pretty good.

If you are talking about who I have heard about, she was a para olympian before PP became her sponsor.
PP deserves credit to make it easier for her to train and compete, but not for her being where she is now with her riding, although they seem to take credit for that in their releases.
Most likely lauren Barwick, she only joined parelli in (about)2006-after her accident. She had been riding for years before that with another woman who helped her, and prior to her accident competed. I believe WAZ is working with her.

LOL, it’s easier to take credit than doing the work!
From the video I watched, she is really good. (you know LP didn’t teach her Dressage :D)
Not unless she incorporates the chicken flapping arm thing into her riding repetoire!
