Read back a bit and found this post. Hadn't heard that Zettl had joined up with the Parellis; sounds like a great idea! I have watched natural horsemanship clinics in person and on the ground, and know a lot of "followers." My biggest problem with it is that no one that uses NH seems to progress beyond waving their lead ropes at their horses! As a student of dressage for the last 18 years coming from a seat-of-the-pants background as a Western rider and trainer, that really frustrated me; maybe Zettl can help those people move beyond the basics to a true connection with their horses so they can learn to "dance."Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387445478250109835.post-31007981593797071062009-06-30T09:04:45.074-07:002009-06-30T09:04:45.074-07:00I got to see a Zettl clinic in Kirkland, WA, and I...I got to see a Zettl clinic in Kirkland, WA, and I wore my Leipzig hat and he said it was a nice city (it's really majestic in some aspects, and dumpy in others as a former East German city). <br /><br />I remember Zettl was very kind to the riders and was approving of the habit of giving a sugar cube after a horse takes the bit.<br /><br />I also remember he'd slip into German when a horse/rider team really impressed him. He'd say "Das ist gut!" letting us all know that he was pleased: )<br /><br />~lytha in Germanylythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387445478250109835.post-39416355444699790752009-06-23T06:23:31.887-07:002009-06-23T06:23:31.887-07:00i am so glad you got to visit this event and that ...i am so glad you got to visit this event and that you posted about it. i had no idea they were working together. i admit i have sort of thrown up my hands at the whole natural horsemanship thing - largely because it seems to advocate a philosophy of riding so at odds with dressage in many areas, particularly when it comes to contact and collection. it will be interesting to see how the two can be reconciled. i'll have to look into this more! thanks :-)jmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04295140724737185132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387445478250109835.post-359661055629694122009-06-21T21:43:40.901-07:002009-06-21T21:43:40.901-07:00Wow, how cool!

I think it's neat that Parelli really does create natural horsemanship that works for both western and english riders. <br />I know what you mean about being in the prescence of greatness. I met a famous child development pyschologist this year, and I knew instantly why he was so famous. He looks and speaks to you with such passion for his trade, and as if you are the only one in the room.Pony Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464088874054923635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387445478250109835.post-88108022505143938142009-06-21T18:54:19.213-07:002009-06-21T18:54:19.213-07:00Great post!!!
