Re: [RC] The only folks I won't ride with.. - Ranelle Rubin

Kathy,

I hope you did not get that I was "Parelli-bashing"..? I copied someone else's quote..?? I just have an opinion about helmets and don't want to be picking someone up off the trail who won't wear one..Their choice to wear or not to wear..my choice to ride or not to ride with them..simple as that. I have a 19 yr old who comes to ride my horses. She has to wear a helmet and she knows it..end of story. She hates them, is a far better rider than I, but it does not matter.

Anyway, for the record, I like the stuff they do, have several books on the connection possible with Parellii techniques and have used many myself.

20 years ago, I was called a "Kook" for some of the stuff I used that I learned from Linda Tellington Jones at a weekend seminar..and still use..saved my butt a couple times, not to mention a vet bill or two with colic reversal techniques..

My new guy thinks the day is not over until I have done his TEAM body work and will stand between me and the gate for his..leaving his food for body work..call that a pocket pony, I will.

That's so funny - the Parellis don't do helmets! But you will see a lot of helmets at our playdays. We're not fools.

I went horse hunting with one of my buds that I met thru the Parelli club yesterday. She rode my mare for a weekend and decided she wanted to get an endurance prospect as her next project. She was somewhat embarrassed to bring out her carrot stick and rope halter. This Arab mare has been trained in Natural Horsemanship, but travels totally head high and inverted, so my friend wisely passed on her. She says she was almost embarrassed that she went to "Mecca" this last summer! Just didn't want to be labelled "Parelli-ite."

Someone else at our barn was also trashing Parelli with the President of our club, who took it all with amusement, and ended up telling her that she's the Prez. There are many of us in the club who see beyond the box. It also amuses me a lot when this same person who trashed Parelli and claims she's an endurance expert can't get her horse over a little stream or over a log without a lot of drama.

The last club meeting one of the members went to a Ray Hunt clinic sponsered by Nancy Elliott, and she proceeded to tell everyone that her horse was sooo superior than those crazy endurance Arabs that were there. To tell you the truth, I would be bored stiff playing with HER horse, would take a crazy Arab any day to a pokey QH. (Not breed bashing -- emphasis on "pokey" not QH - I know there are good QH's out there.) There's quite a few people in the group that get quite intimidated with how quickly and how little it takes to make an Arab reacts to things. Even the Parelli instructor!

K.

RE:" I've even had someone tell me
that they won't ride with anyone else but a Parelli person. K."


The only one I won't ride with are those who won't wear a helmet. I have a personal feeling that if someone is too dumb to get on a horse on the side of a mountain (not too many flat trails around here-most are cut into the canyons), they are too dumb to ride with me..

So there..started a new topic just in time to go riding!!


Happy Trails to you......and may we trot again...!
