Dave, I personally like the methods of many of the NH types like Parelli, Anderson, Cox....yada, yada.
 
But the comment above is what burns a lot of people's biscuits.  Let us not forget that Christ, Buddha and Confucius gave their wisdom for FREE!!. I don't think Buddha was marketing those little plastic statues of him in his underwear.  That was the genius of some other entrepreneur.  Plus, I think that comparing Pat Parelli to these great teachers (regardless of religious conviction, they are historically great teachers) is a bit over the top.
 
Personally, I think that Pat Parelli should market his mustache.  That is what my spouse says when I can't get a response from a horse using this method.  I should buy (or grow) a fake Pat Parelli mustache....then the horses would listen.
