[RC] A little of this, a little of that.. - Ranelle Rubin

Jeanie,

Exactly what I believe..You should see my bookshelf! When a friend tried to get me to join her Parelli group years ago and I didn't, she wouldn't talk to me..? It was weird. I have LTJ, Parelli, classical dressage, cross train your horse with dressage, centered riding, Julie's book, some very old endurance books from the 70's..etc..

Best book I ever read was Horse's of the Sahara..an old, out of print book.

I think there are many ways to skin a cat, as my grandpa used to say. We all take what works and stick with it.

I have a good friend who claims that all Parelli does is teach non horsey women how to love their horses! I also have a neighbor who has a huge dressage jumping horse. This horse is fine in the ring, but get him outside a ring and after working on trail (he crosses everything and will follow Maggie anywhere), he throws a hissy fit and usually ends up by dumping his rider. My friend who has been doing the parelli thing for over a year now, is still leading this horse for over a mile before she gets on his back to trail ride, she only walks on trail, and then she leads the horse over a mile home. She is afraid of this guy and to be honest with you, so would I be. In fact, if I were in her shoes with 3 young kids, I would get rid of this horse and get something that I could safely ride anywhere. I am guessing that a very experienced rider could get through to this horse but then he comes back to Jullie the same problem will exist. I did find a halflinger cross that she leased for the summer. This is the horse she rode on trail by herself, put her kids on, and in general had a blast. Toby is a good ol' boy. But when Jullie tried the parelli thing to get him in the trailer, guess who won? The owner got Toby in the trailer in minutes. I am sure that all methods of training have their place. But I always figured, one takes little of this, a little of that, and then uses what works best for you. At any rate, I was well entertained this summer. Jeanie
