I do not follow Parelli, but I do follow Clinton Anderson. He is a meat and potatoes trainer - lays it all out for you step by step and on an untrained horse so you see the mistakes most will go thru before they catch on. However, I don't drink his Kool-Aid either (I don't remember that phrase). What I do is combine Clinton's step by step meat and potatoes with the teachings of Bill Dorrence from his book "True Horsemanship Thru Feel" to get a more complete picture of what I want. But Bill doesn't give me the visual "meat and potatoes" step by step instruction I need. And Clinton doesn't give me the "feel" I want with my horse. After that, it's my other bible, Lee Ziegler's "Easy-Gaited Horses". With those 3 as my teachers, I have everything I need to train my own horses. But that is me.
