Re: [RC] helmets - Karen Sullivan----- Original Message ----- From: "Milroy Grosse" <milroygrosse@xxxxxxxxx> a Pat Parelli, John Lyons etc etc....they don't wear helmets. You got Lynda Parelli jumping picnic benches without a helmet. These people must realize the impact their example could have on people. They go on about safety and horses and respect and and body blocks etc, then jump on a horse with a cowboy hat or sun visor......makes no sense to me. That yanked my chain again! Those folks (Parelli's); consistently show in videos and photos the most unnecessary; stupid and downright dangerous stuff I have ever seen with horses; irregardless of not wearing helmets; which they DON'T encourage, from what I have seen. Photos of jumping with no helmet; standing on horses; no helmet riding ;a horse right up to the back of a trailer (rider's neck at level of trailer roof). If you can stand to watch the whole seven games video without falling asleep; and get to the end of a clinic with a ton of folks milling around lunging; riding with no saddle or headgear, or standing on horses at liberty...watch for the guy at the end who FALLS OFF HIS HORSE! I am not saying there cannot be valuable lessons to be learned by some of their methods...but the stories about too many horses crowded into clinics and horses and riders hurt; plus the sheer stupidity I have seen in the videos and photos....AND the multitude of so-called Parelli trained horses that I have seen with huge holes in their training and dangerous behaviors; all add up to me never wanting to endorse anything they sell or do......
