This. Made my day. What a dick thing to say. Hahahaha the thing they forget is that if your horse is acting safely and shit happens you will be even safer wearing a helmet because the degree of craziness probably wont be as bad as if your horse is half wild. So it would make even morse sense to wear a helmet on a safe horse.

clearly she is not a brain scientist :/

She teaches riding lessons to her "advanced" students Ugh. I think if you are going to teach someone to ride you have to at least have a quiet lower leg it's like hers is trying to defect every time she trys to sit the trot. I think Walter Zettl must be as senile as he looks to hitch his cart to this dog at a pony show.

I thought that too! Plus she has a bit in the horses mouth as well. Where is her savvy string and why isn't she bareback? Oh, right. She would have fallen off, judging by her 'form' in this pic.

That's the Sooper Speshul saddle pad she advocates. Why have a saddle that fits when you can just shim up every square inch until it's not even sitting on the horse?

Ugh. I volunteered at a sanctuary that was run by people who were obsessive, crazy parelli followers...For like, 6 hours. They let like 8 17hh+ horses push them around in the pasture, get all up in their space and run them over.

I was cleaning out a pen with a nasty tempered little mini in it, and he kept following me and biting my ass. HARD. I found a halter that was too small for him (in his pen, wtf?) and looped it loosely over his neck like you do when putting a bridle on, and tied his ass the the fence so I could finish mucking out the pen.
Next thing I know some lady is screaming in my face about me not knowing what I was doing and he could have broken his neck and blah blah blah. And then someone came to my "defense" and explained that I was new and didn't know anything. I walked out. I never, ever want to deal with crazy parelli people again. Dx

First of all, I wonder if that is their special air filled Parelli pad that is causing that saddle to fit so amazingly. Saddles are supposed to hover several inches over the back at the cantle dontchaknow.

Also, Linda Parelli recently lost her horse in a tragic accident where he spooked and ran through a gate or something. Obviously that is sad first and foremost because they lost a nice horse that they loved, but it just goes to show they can't train all the freak accidents out of a horse, after all.

West point was the one that was killed- and it's funny how HARD it is to get hold of the details on that!

I already knew about the Parelli craziness regarding helmets
