Initial Review of Pat Parelli

Hi Guys,

my wife and I sat down this evening and spent some quality time together working on reading and breaking down Pat Parelli's system - he calls it Natural Horse Man Ship.

Our intial thoughts are that in his book he has decided to take certain elements and break them down into numbered lists of items to remember ; with each list relating to a particular attitude or technique/skill, to what he terms as the 'The Six Keys'. What is interesting to note - is that he has a very 'Natural' style of writing and is very good as describing specific elements of his system. However there are times he gets a little technical - which is okay of you know Parelli....He also has these little terms...sort of Parelliism's for want of a better word...which makes the reading more captivating...

One thing is for sure - he has given some people in the horseworld a run for their money and if one thing is for certain - his marketing campaigns are top notch....

My wife and I will 'digest' more of his work in the coming days and I will post more about his book
titled - 'Natural Horse-Man-Ship'

It's worth a read......he is the technical man by all accounts. In the meantime I am looking as some of Mark Rashid's work also - he is the spiritual man by the looks of it so far...but lets see....

Oh yes....one more thing...I met up with a friend of mine from Italy...Astrid Gambertone, she has been over to Ireland a couple of times this month working as a rep for Tattersalls.....I met her recently at a Masterson Method Clinic in the UK..we had a great chat and I hope to see her again....more news to follow about a Tui Na class for equine rehab I think...
Also I am bringing Jim Masterson ( MastersonMethod) over to Ireland to teach his system of Equine Massage - please reply to this blog if you have any interests or want to know more..

In the meantime -- take a look at the Parelli marketing machine....pretty impressive.

Be very careful if you are going to recommend Pat Parelli trainings. His dvd trainings are wonderful. But his onsite in Pagosa Springs Colorado trainings are a waste of money. He's now in financial trouble. In person he's an asshole to be honest. I just spent $15,000 for some one for the extern program what a joke. A waste of money. Remember his dvd trainings wonderful his onsite trainings complete waste of money. This is a real post.Be warned.
