>>> what i thought was cool was the way he was directing her was almost as tho he was interpreting the wheel chair body language for her as he saw the horse respond. It was awesome.
There is a wheelchair-bound woman in Europe (Silke is her name, maybe?) who is Parelli-certiified to something like Level 3. She was featured on the very first video of his that I saw. It was amazing. She had a huge Friesian. Have you ever seen Pat's son, Caton, ride? He had a stroke when he was about 12 I think and is physically disabled, and mentally too, I think. I've seen his progress as a rider since I started watching Parelli demos, about 5 years now, I think. At first, it was painful to watch Caton ride in the weekend seminar/shows. I would catch myself tightening, afraid he would fall...but he didn't. The last time I saw him ride, his improvement was stunning. He can ride better than most adults I know now, even though his use of one side is limited. I think he's in his early-mid 20's now. It's just inspiring to see the progress.
