1: If someone ... By: musicalmarie1986. on 18 May 12, 18:08:11 1: If someone doesn't want to ride with a helmet, it's their prerogative. I've never used one, and I probably won't even use one, and that's my choice. When my? kids are learning to ride, I'll have them wear one until they're old enough to decide if they want to keep wearing one. No need to be mean just because someone made a decision not to wear a helmet. Besides, you hardly ever see girl barrel racing in helmets, but I don't see anyone at the rodeos complaining (and if they do, I don't hear it)
Well I was TRYING ... By: greenzinadoo. on 13 May 12, 05:46:39 Well I was TRYING to post today, but my horse was? so darn lazy, he would take a few steps and stop. I kicked him as hard as I could and used a crop but it wouldn't work.

It's like driving a car without seatbelt or a motorbike without a helmet. My brother came of his motorbike at just 15 miles per hour a rocketed nearly 150 yards down the road. It he didn't have his full leather gear on he would of ripped the skin off his? arms and legs & would of been scared 4 life. He was only traveling a mile down the road but luckily took the time to put leathers on!!

I know it wasn't ... By: NumberTheStarsByCC. on 13 May 12, 04:33:57 I know it wasn't the best dressage, but honestly, all of you guys bad mouthing this video, I'd like to see you do better. Pirelli is great, and it does a lot more than dressage, but I must agree,? this wasn't REA,,Y
@Halfpassfarm - I ... By: ChazzieLovesHorses. on 19 Apr 12, 10:24:50 @Halfpassfarm - I totally agree - a good rider should be able to control his horse with just his seat and legs -? this parelli stuff isn't anything special, too many riders these days rely to much on their hands, which is why everyone thinks parelli is so amazing - it's not, the same results can be achieved through normal riding, if it's done well!
QUESTIONS: 1.Why ... By: animalsrawesome2. on 07 Apr 12, 03:52:38 QUESTIONS: 1.Why weren't the horses using their backs to carry the rider for the dressage moves? Their backs looked very hollow the whole time. 2. At 2:23 his horse looks out at the audience and then O'Conner pets the side of his neck, how come these horses aren't weaving all over the place once they realize theirs nothing controling their noses??
This is so lovely ... By: rosasinclairemerson. on 20 Mar 12, 22:05:30 This is so lovely to see, I don't? understand how you can dislike it - the horse is so relaxed and happy and his movement so free!

it's not parelli ... By: Halfpassfarm. on 18 Feb 12, 23:24:12 it's not parelli training, it's dressage training. if you really learn to ride, the horse is totally controlled with the seat and legs- bridles are only used to balance the horse! If David O'Conner had always ridden Parelli and not just hooked up with him then I would be more impressed, but his and? the horses actual training is from elsewhere.
Anyone won't to bad ... By: No1HorseLuvrX. on 28 Jan 12, 00:56:17 Anyone won't to bad mouth Parelli?...well good because I don't care what? kind of crap you say. Parelli is good

By: ElleMonksVsTheWorld. on 28 Dec 11, 19:21:32 I love parelli and no one can change my mind about it....have you seen the amazing things that people can do with their horses after they done parelli?? Have you? seen the rescue stories and disabled people with horses from using parelli....some of the most amazing horses ive ever seen come from parelli techniques....yes, maybe not everything is about parelli...yes, anyone could do it with their own horses and ponies...good for them...just stop bad mouthing parelli and people who have used it...

Here's the bad ... By: megalelala. on 18 Jun 11, 23:37:31 Here's the bad thing about parelli,? great that he's a trainer and that he can do it, but a lot of horses will never be abl to achive that, that dosn't work for all horses. And a lot of people working with horses in thier backyard mess the program up.
It has a bad rap for that reason.
