Some buying tips if you are thinking of purchasing the Parelli programs:

You can buy on ebay-  but make sure you are buying the red level I with DVDs 
and Blue level II with DVDs.  However, you will almost pay full price on 
ebay, so I suggest  buying direct at www.parelli.com

View the program and sell it on ebay when you're done!  Sometimes people pay 
ABOVE full price on ebay- it's crazy!

It's less expensive and you get more value if you join SAVVY CLUB for $20 a 
month and receive 35% (I recall) off the programs.  With Savvy Club, you get 
monthly dvd's or magazines, email letters, website learning access and FREE 
tickets to local events, discounts on clinics, etc.

I love the savvy club stuff.  Plus, OK, i got my free tshirt LOL. and pin 
and sticker....

Parelli is making great money, but I don't think it's over-priced compared 
to trainers, riding lessons, etc.!  Besides I can't PAY ENOUGH for the 
confidence I now have and the relationship I have with my horse.

You can buy knock-off halters and carrot sticks if you want.  I don't see 
much difference.
