I do make my own decisions. I was asking about experiences, which I
could only have by living and doing horse things on the mainland. I
am not a Parelli fan, talk about glitz and a rehash of basic concepts
that other trainers talk about, not new concepts. I have had
students that have purchased the Parelli package, I have watched his
dvds...so I have done some reading/watching on the subject...I was
asking a question.....I asked in a Nice and thoughtful way....I would
like to know really......
And the comments about geography and such, I know where countries
are, you just misread, and side passed the issue, which is Basic.
Putting All Icelandic trainers into one cateogory of Evil tight
nosebands, incorrect saddle fitting, never touch a foal etc etc
trainers just is not fair or accurate......
If people are to truely listen to you and learn these great concepts
of treating our horses better, its good not to come at it from
tearing a whole country down....tearing someone else down does not
elevate oneself.
So if anyone actually could keep to the subject at hand, about the
Parelli question, I would love to hear it.......I can not just drive
to your neck of the woods and go to a Parelli clinic......
Sometimes, emails do not come across like you want and the
conversation is not as fluid and easy as one would hope. People
misread, and Assume things that the writer did not intend.......lets
try and give each other some benefit of the doubt.....and not assume
that the person has not read or doesn't know about geography or
training methods......
I believe that Icelanders have something to teach us.....I believe
that of most people.....I try not to brush them off or think they
might not know something just based on where they live or their
gender or age.....etc.....From the training methods used in Iceland
I like the way that they start horses much later than I believe the
majority of Americans......I like the way Americans are going towards
more natural horsemanship methods.....I think we all can learn from
each other......
We went to clinics all the time in Washington.....we do not get that
choice now here, Linda does one from time to time....and Dr. Miller
comes in once in awhile...Buck, but so much of it is focused on
Western...Dr. Miller of course a lot of his stuff is focused on
foals.....anyway, so I read a lot now, I should own stock in
Amazon.com and Borders.......
