The name of the Parelli video that I thought might be interesting for people looking for a sampler of Parelli ideas is called "Safe Ride." It has chapters called, Pre-ride, Saddling, Bridling, Mount/Dismount, Fluidity, and Fear. These chapters are NOT just for beginners. During the Pre-Ride section, there is at least a cursory introduction to the "Seven Games" - the basic terms that Parelli uses to explain his version of Natural Horsemanship. I also have the old versions of the full videos, The Seven Games, and Fluidity, but also bought the new ones of the same name. That's just me though - I have ridden in a number of NH clinics over the past 15 years, one with a Parelli instructor, several by Dave Seay, so I think I understand the basics pretty well - but many times I need inspiration on how to apply the basics to my young horses. (To me, knowing something on a theoretical level can be MUCH different from knowing how to apply the idea in practice...) At this point, I don't feel the need to go to the clinics so much, but I certainly need to be able to view and review ideas as new situations pop up. So, of the newer Parelli videos, the ones I just bought are 1) Safe Ride, 2) Seven Games, 3) Fluidity, and 4) Impulsion.
>From a totally different interest, I also transferred my Jane Savoie videos, "Lessons with Jane" onto my iPod. Next, I'll convert some of my Liz Graves DVDs. My tastes in equestrian videos is eclectic, to say the least... :) Anyone got any other videos that they'd care to recommend? Karen Thomas, NC No virus found in this outgoing message.
