[RC] Parelli and me - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Sandra Esposito probrainstormer@xxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Pat is the first one to say "it is so old its new again". This quote is in the front of his book. I have known Pat for about 16 years. I met him when he was absorbing the old Masters ways.He humbly gives them the credit that they deserve. What I enjoy about Parelli is that a lot of the "Old Cowboys" are really great comunicaters with horses but lously with people. I went to a Tom Dorrance Clinic and didn't 'get' what he was doing because of his refinment. I went away mystified. Pat took what they were trying to explain and put it in a language that the common person (ME) could understand. It is all about WHEN you put the pressure on and WHEN you take it off. FEEL,TIMING, and BALANCE. Pat's book is GREAT! With all the horses I have been blessed to have handled it 'works' with every last one. Pat has taken old ways rolled it around and given his students a begining, middle and.........Can you tell that I am a fan! UNFORTUNATLY there are too many "instructors" that don't have the feel timing and balance that is required. It will always be their interpretation of the information. Pat's interpretation of the information is easy to understand and use. Pat has made mistakes over the years but from what I have observed he learned from them and moved on.I admire him for that. He is a showman, but what a show! ===========================================================...but then, I do ride my horses a lot more than most people ~ Karen Chaton ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ===========================================================
