True, but not everyone has the discipline to
accomplish this. The rest of us lazy inconsistent slackers that just like
to ride, and who thought they had been around the block until they found
themselves with a dominant fire-snortin' hottie-horse, might benefit
from some Horse 101. The Parelli package (and others like
it) provide The Rest of Us with an easy and rewarding
program. It's a recipe. It's easy. It's fun. Small
investment, lifetime return. No, it's not necessary to "buy all that
stuff". You can learn a lot with a minimal investment, and did I mention
that it's fun? Oh yeah, I think I did!
Cheaper than a trainer,
and fun. Oopsy, I repeated that fun part
again. My attention span is insufficient to train a large
emotional and energetic animal without guidance, and my budget won't bear
the cost of professional help. The recipe program works for
me.
I disagree. It doesn't have to be Parelli as long
as you are teaching groundwork and being consistent with it. And you don't
need to buy all that stuff to teach good groundwork!
