Re: [RC] Loose horses/ Parelli - Kathy Mayeda

Actually, I've only experienced loose horses at an uncrowded public park only once, and it was a 2-month foal with her mama. No Parelli gear in sight. I still don't think that's a great idea.

The Parelli person I was referring to was in an arena with only Parelli people and horses in it at the time, and we all got on his case to put his horse back on line.

My point is: Parelli does not equal loose horses. I think that there are a lot of people that misunderstand what the Parelli system is about, including those that are subscribing to it.

Original loose horse thread wasn't about Parelli. Interesting way to put two threads together!

I do belong to the Bay Area Savvy Players.... a Parelli "church". I agree with everything that
has been said both good and bad about Parelli.


At our BASP playdays, we strongly discourage horses at liberty unless it's the group
consensus to do so. And there are one or two members that constantly push
that particular envelope and they are the most "rabid" of the Parelli-ites in the group...

Uh, wait a minute. Am I understanding this correctly? That there are people
who are taking horses out on trails (public, private, whatever) used by *other people*
(horse, bike, hike, mamas with babies in strollers, whatever) that are under no
sort of physical control *whatsoever*? Not even being ponied in a halter on
a rope behind another horse? Just loose? And that the only restraints on these
horses that exist are the fantasies thriving in the minds of their delusionary
owners? Which is to say: *none* at *all*???


Tell me I've got it wrong!

Tell me that this is like two or three idiots in the whole nation!

*Please* don't tell me that one is bound to find at least one such nut
habituating any reasonably popular trail system!!
