ATTITUDE/KNOWLEDGE - Control, confidence, Competence: (1hr.4 min.) with Linda Parelli and Allure. Meet Linda's challenging Trakehner Warmblood, Allure! Linda shows what it takes to have a Òsuccessful: session with this playful, curious character in the round corral, on a 22-foot Line, in a large open field on a 45-foot line, then saddling and riding.
You'll get to really see Allure's 'horsenality', how self-confident he is in himself, yet how unconfident he is as a learner. "He challenges me non-stop. Really causing me to be a leader. I have to play this great balancing act of being provocative and firm, yet playful and leave him with his dignity", says Linda.
This awesome and revealing demo was taped during the April 2006 Fluidity 1 - Freestyle Course at the Florida Parelli Center.
INSPIRATION - Parelli Games with Evanne Prater (16 min.) Evanne has been playing with Parelli for almost a decade, and has Parelli Professional Star Ratings in Young Horses, Colt Starting, Foundation, Horsemanship and Instructing.
Last October, while helping prepare race horses in Kentucky, Evanne suffered trauma to the brain stem when a horse fell on her. She was in a rehab hospital for three months - six weeks of which in a coma. Three and a half months after her accident, Evanne was back on her horse.
In this session, Evanne plays with her Trakehner Thoroughbred, Thunder Heart, in the Parelli Games on Tour in Washington 2005 and Oregon 2006. She is back on track to achieving her dream - playing with horses for a living.
