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!
