A Million Ways

I've decided to make this blog post due to common controversy over the training techniques I've chosen to do with Annabelle and every other horse I have come across with. Yes, there are a million ways to train/teach a horse. Has Pat created a way to make a lot of money? Yeah and good for him. Parelli is different from every other technique I have come in relation with. Other techniques get the job done and in many cases it gets the job done faster. I am not looking for a quick fix and at the moment I don't have showing goals. One thing I have learned quickly in the horse world is EVERYONE has a different opinion on EVERYTHING. Kinda like politics, and I try and stay away from conflict as much as possible.
Growing up I was the kid playing with worms, spiders, snakes, you name it I caught it and knew how to take care of it. I was born with a natural ability with all animals, and an everlasting love for animals. I love the bond and the connection, the kind you see in movies. Before Parelli I bonded with animals better then people. Growing up in a home of domestic violence, when I was scared I went to my 'best friend', my cat. I have never taken relationships lightly. Parelli has given me the confidence to talk with people even my peers who used to be the hardest people for me to talk to. On and off counseling since 2005 hasn't been able to give me that.
With that being said, Parelli has allowed me to have inner peace with myself and given me the greatest gift of 'talking to animals'. I'm able to communicate with her, she doesn't always agree, but she still understands me. Something I never thought was possible. I have been successful with Parelli and have no desire to seek out other ways. If you were successful and happy in a company why would you change? I don't mean to offend anyone or any other ways of training/teaching a horse. These are just my thoughts and beliefs.
