It's About The Horse

Thank you Larry! Obviously he had the good sense to be gaited! :-) I'm sure he would frown at what has been done with the breed since his death. TWH are lovely horses in their natural state.

"No ONE will ever be bigger then Elvis" I'd have to agree. I think the Beatles were bigger then Elvis, but they were four. Other then John Lennon, none have ever 'inspired' me. I am still moved by "Let it Be'

I really enjoyed those old tour stops. Any day filled with horses, riding, and sharing horsemanship is pretty fun. That's the reason I went the first time, and it's the reason I might go again. 25.00 is pretty standard around here for a tour ticket. CA, Chris Cox (although he refunded and did it for free because of fuel prices this summer) and Dennis Reis all charge 25.00. I love heading to the back and visiting their horses, most of all. Plus it's fun to sit there with a bunch of other people just as horse crazy as I am. Even my daughter put down her book (yes, she brought a book and does not like horses) at Chris Cox. She really enjoyed watching and laughed quite a bit as Chris made fun of this guys trailer loading skills. Don't know about Linda and Elvis, but HORSES and Ellvis? No contest!

Never saw Elvis but I did go see the Beatles at Wrigley Field in Chicago......... I was 13 and have never felt anything quite like that since

For those interested, I read on the Parelli forum today that America is the start of the 'World' tour for the Parelli's - not sure how true it is but makes sense given the headline.

Sorry guys, I'm a Stone's girl, although PInk Floyd was THE BEST CONCERT EVER!!!!!!
They broadcast The Parelli World Tour on RFD last night. Looks like the are repackaging a dvd about horsenality. Think it will run "as low as 59.00", so probaby for savvy club folks at that price. She did a cool demo with a dressage horse that went catatonic when ridden. She was unable to tell the girl what to do, so she got on the horse herself. Not critisizing her, it IS hard to tell someone to do whatever and get the timing right. I reallly enjoyed watching. It was on last night at 9 p.m. central time.
I tell ya, having a better understanding of horsenality and how horses learn has made a big difference in how I get on with the herd. I know they are repackaging, but I think they probably know a lot more about it now. She calls it "cusps", when a horse is lbi with lbe tendensies, lbe being the cusp thang. It has that old tour stop feel to it. If they come close to Kansas, I'd like to go!
