I learned Parelli in 2015. I helped train 17 horses using the 7 games. My own horse was a Palomino, a retired stallion. He was very stubborn and nervous. After playing these games with him for about three months we built such a serious relationship. He would even follow me around the corral with no harness on (all I would have to do is call his name or whistle). To those watching this video, I HIGHLY recommend using Parelli for your own horses. Thank you Pat ❤

Parelli is life-changing, for us and the horses we love so much.

How so very true Maureen

I love this video! I got into Parelli years ago when I had my horse. He passed away two years ago and I didn't think I would ever get another horse. But recently I acquired two horses and want to refresh myself on the seven games. This was excellent! Just love Linda.

As a mature age learner rider at 60 eleven years ago it was the Parelli 7 games that saved my “giving up”... absolutely amazing transition. From no confidence or understanding to liberty, freestyle, and a beautiful partnership with my horses...you guys are truly amazing xx

I just started too as a learner in my 6th decade; still looking for my niche, but I know my intuition is leading me to a natural horsemanship. Thx for your comment.

The simulations with Katie are great to visualize! Thank you so much!

Thank you Parrelis! Greatings from Sweden.

As usual, excellent information. This is so helpful with all horses. I’ve done this with over 50 horses.

Thank you very much. You provided detailed explanations that I could not find anywhere. You were a great help to me!

I rode alot as a child, horse shows and games, barrels etc... older now, and live in the cities, my neighbor has a horse and she is teaching me this method, I've been watching many of Pat's vids, makes alot of sense and I will continue helping my neighbor train this way😊

Linda always makes me want to learn more, and she teaches so well!

So wonderful how this will change the way a human thinks! Absolutely 120% love this

All the young people who I introduce with horsemanship and groundwork, I let them watch this video first. A perfect introduction! Thank you!

I am going to start training a green, spooky halflinger. I found the parelli videos, and can't wait to start later this afternoon. I have been playing around with her for about 6 months (once or twice a week) and she has had no improvement. I can't wait to see how she responds.🐎❤️

I am taking a class at Pierce College where we are learning the 7 games. This video is such a great reinforcement! TY so much for all of your generous training videos. They are super methodical and clear and helping me so much!

Can't say enough about Parelli.

I'm so happy you shared this - invaluable - resource. I'm new to natural horsemanship, and in some cases it seems just as hard on the horse as the old ways, but Linda is fab. She makes it look easy, and the practise training with another human is brilliant.

Its extremely gentle and not hard on the equine/horse and it's not easy but it's not overly difficult, my experience so far I've noticed that it definitely works both horse and the person and also helps both understand each others language aswell so that when training does have its rough moments, those moments can successfully and smoothly be completed and the training with horse and the person working with the horse have minimal stress. Dont give up, I believe in you. Keep up the amazing work:)

This makes sense thank you for all you do to train humans :)

Thank you so much I am a new ride at and my riding instructor said to look up the seven games and you were one of the people that came up thank you so so much

Look up Silk Valentin, she's a Parelli professional that trains her horses in her wheelchair. She's absolutely incredible.

Ive been really lucky with owning nice horses. It really helps having a good minded horse to train when their young because horses are alot like people some easy some difficult. Im not a fan of teaching old dogs new tricks. Patience and consistency. Most importantly a horse is not a pet and wants to be treated as a horse. Ride it have fun and then leave it alone to relax.

Thanks, very helpful! 🐎 🐴

That would be a different video where she's not just introducing the concepts. And infact, she states in the video that this horse is well-used to the games and she will explain what to do when the horse doesn't respond so well. There are some great videos of Linda helping students through it. She's easier to watch/listen to than Pat, I think. Not so much jingo lingo.

Parelli is not teaching horses a language its about speaking theirs

This looks great with a horse that knows how to to respond and does so perfectly. How do you get the correct response from a horse that has no idea what you're asking it to do? How do you teach the porcupine game? I can press into my horse with everything I've got and they just take it.

@Mykeynikey22331

my horse was a brick wall with the porcupine game. i would press and press, but if he didn't move, i'd very energetically use the driving game to move him. he eventually learned that a press would lead to more so he would respond better each time.

There are dozens of vids on the 7 games. Get on Parelli.com and find a local P trainer to work with.

Lunging, properly done, is a powerful training tool. It can engage the horse's abdominal muscles, stretch his back, engage his hind legs. It can allow the horse to blow off steam before being ridden. I would agree that mindless lunging can do more harm than good, but let's not give people the wrong idea about a valuable training technique so you can sell some stuff.

Proper lunging is an excellent training tool, and is NOT 'just shushing a horse around in mindless circles', as Linda states. Sad that she, and apparently many others, have learned that running a horse around in mindless circles was ;lunging' - and never learned to do it properly.

The difference between the Parelli circling game and lunging.... The circling game you ask the horse to go into a circle, & don’t change gait, don’t change direction until asked. You can still fine tune a horse to do transitions on the circle .... Lunging is harder mentally on your horse as MOST trainer keep on chasing / asking the horse to go, constantly asking with the longe whip or constant clucking .... so the horse feels criticized if you keep nagging , go, go, go....the horse is micromanaged ...Parelli horse’s learn to think, watch your body language and bond amazingly with the owner if done correctly....it’s awesome👍🏼

@@cgrey4082 I was taught longing somewhere in the middle. We would test the horses buttons by asking him to stop, and go again. Also changing gaits. But it was mostly to get him in condition and focused on you. The Parelli version is more engaging for the horse, it is a game, and it does work the horses brain more.

"Look at your nails, check your underarms." "I wouldn't do that if I were you" THANKS 🤠

my horse would hate "friendly game", she doesn't like being touched except for bum scratches... I wish I had a Parelli instructor close by that I could talk to as 16 minutes in to this video I have so many questions...

Beautiful work

I would love to hear how Clinton Anderson (arguably among the best horse trainers in the world) has built his reputation around a "mindless" training technique like lunging. Lunging is the crux of his method. If used properly, I agree with Leslie, it is a very powerful technique, used for building a basic foundation for training. Also would like to add, Pat uses lunging in many of his sessions, particularly with problem horses, so yeah......😂

@Gerard Nordskoven That's a method which teaches a horse to ignore a driving aid. When one is needed to protect horse and rider, the horse will ignore it. That's what he's been taught: it is meaningless. One of the many things a horse should never learn: to ignore the rider's aids. Should be the title of a book: "Training a Horse to Ignore the Aids." Not smart.

Leslie, you totally didn’t get it, and nasty on top of it. Blowing off steam in a circle injures horse’s...seen it. This is train8ng, comm7nication and discipline.

If used improperly, absolutely lunging - like any tool or technique - can be harmful. 'Blowing off steam' in an uncontrolled manner on a lungeline can put a lot of stress on a horse's joints. So can running around a round pen in a wild an uncontrolled manner.

Thanks for the video, but could you have spelled "Parelli" correctly?

👻

Maybe her horse didn't want to be with her BECAUSE she had $300 worth of equipment on its head!?!? Glad she found Parreli!!

Does not work that easily! My horse bops his head up and down when I wiggle the rope.

The games didn't change your horse Linda they changed you.

@@josie3986 She made videos of herself with the horse and the owner. Very proud to be so cruel and unjust to a frightened horse with limited vision. Her approach made a horse which wasn't dangerous IF HANDLED PROPERLY WITH RESPECT more difficult and unsafe for the owner to handle. The horse should never have been in the hands of the beginner and the most useful thing the Parelli witch should have done -- if the session had to proceed -- was tell the owner the horse was not suitable for him and worked, if at all, on the most simple task of properly, correctly and safely teaching the owner to lead a half blind horse! The whole thing is a grift which promises complete beginners that they will become horse trainers virtually overnight if they just buy some "special" equipment" and reading material. j pugh said it correctly: this is cruel rubbish and the chances of owners getting seriously injured are more than merely substantial: it is close to a guarantee that beginners handling horses without constant supervision is a recipe for serious injury.

@Gerard Nordskoven The ignorance of fundamental longe work, and the purposes of it when correctly done, is obvious. And teaching a horse things it should not learn -- to ignore the aids -- will get people and horses injured. Happens all the time. Do I want to ride a horse which has been taught to ignore the aids / be dead to the aids? Hell no! Not only will that horse become a chore to ride, when there's an urgent need for the horse to respond to the aids when his natural inclination is to focus upon and attend to a distraction, he will ignore the aids which "save" the situation. That's what he's been taught to do! Teach a horse what is wanted. That's the corollary rule to: never teach a horse things he should never learn.

I’m not a Parelli basher, but I’ve never understood why the Parellis are so insistent that when a horse circles you, you should stay facing front and pass the rope behind you. Yes horses can see almost 360 degrees around themselves so perhaps theoretically, from a horse’s point of view, you aren’t breaking your connection with them. But we aren’t horses, they don’t think we’re horses, and that still bothers me.

@@hollywill2226 Most dangerous place to be: facing a horse with the line on the ground -- the horse closing the distance -- as it runs by the trainer, taking a shot with both hind legs as it races by. Complete loss of control while putting oneself in an extremely dangerous spot is the method taught. The method results in lots of beginners / novices getting hurt and horses learning things they should never learn.

I wouldn't let Pat Parreli's woman/wife train my goldfish much less my horses. But she certainly has many fooled. Pat Parreli on the other hand is very worthy of a horse trainer. His wife's attitude and general demeaner and lack of skill that matches Pats to me. means she should never touch a lead line or horse.
