I think that the Parelli methods have helped a lot of green
horse people and their horses, thus making life better for some horses. The
flamboyant personality and the guru behavior of some of his followers turned
me off from the beginning, but I think there is value in what he
teaches. I just think he really appeals more to people who don't know
much and want to be like him and his students who put on those shows all over
the country. The cult mentatlity does not appeal to me. Nor does the
dare devil edge of the former rodeo cowboy, Parelli. Whitney was a rodeo
clown for many years, and demonstrates only safety and respect around the
animals.
Fortunately the instructor I had for the Level I was a
master, Dave Ellis, from Callifornia. Never turn down an opportunity to
learn from him. He was excellent. http://rangerdave.instructor.parelli.com/
