Human ego should never be put before the horses Education. Getting the job done at any cost is a disgrace from a so called professional ecpecially in front of a a packed arena it gives you chills to think what they do when at home. Poor horses.

THESE PEOPLE ARE SICK. nobody should be allowed to treat an animal like that ever.

Enough is enough. Stop letting these people near horses.

Saw what they did to that poor horse and i was shaking. absolutely disgusting treatment.

My heart breaks for those horses. They cant speak for themselves so we have to do it for them. SHAME ON YOU PARELLI.

They call themselves pros but they have no respect for the animal. Makes me sick to my stomach.

The Parrellis hould be in jail for horse cruelty.

A letter I wrote to Linda Parelli and Colleen Kelly.... I just HAD to contact you regarding your Rider Biomechanics DVD with Linda Parelli and Colleen Kelly. When I first heard of rider biomechanics I was very intrigued. Like most people, I am always trying to improve my riding and so I bought the DVD. I could not wait to pop it in and spend 4 hours learning about rider biomechanics. As a fourth level dressage rider and training with a former Olympian I was shocked at what I was seeing. Four hours of silly banter and information I learned as a beginner rider. How to put your foot in a stirrup? How to turn a horse? How the riders weight effects the direction of the horse? Really? At one point Colleen Kelly says that in the next segment we will take a look at a more advanced horse... The horse was walking on a circle. Why was that horse an advanced horse? I was expecting to see a higher level horse and rider exhibiting how they biomechincly work together in a half pass, canter, passage, piaffe, something. Nope, just a tiny horse walking on a circle.... Let's skip to the end because the entire DVD was a lot of the before mentioned... The last segment was an informational piece with Linda and Colleen. The only information in this piece was about how they met, Colleen's necklace and them complimenting each other on their accomplishments! I wish this DVD was a representation of the those accomplishments. It's nice to compliment people but I did not spend $159 to listen to how good they think each other is, I wanted to see it, and this DVD did not deliver! You could have shared this information in less than 30 minutes for less than $30.... The goal of this video is clear. The clinicians do not know much about making an instructional video and used the "Parelli" name to sell yet another useless product. I strongly believe in natural horsemanship and it is a very big part of my training. Pat and Linda should take some lessons from Buck B
