YOU can make a difference for horses TODAY – Help stop rollkur!

Posted Wed, 02/10/2010 - 20:20 by elizabethandriot elizabethandriot elizabethandriot elizabethandriot elizabethandriot

On February 9, 2010, there will be a Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) closed-door meeting to discuss the practice of hyperflexion, also known as "rollkur."

This highly controversial technique is often employed at the upper levels of dressage training and involves hyperflexing the horse's neck until his chin is almost touching his chest; often the horse is forced to maintain this position for extended periods of time.

Pat and Linda Parelli stand with dressage master Walter Zettl in support of those who denounce rollkur.

Rollkur represents artificiality taken to the extreme and performance put before the good of the horse. Convincing FEI officials to take a stand against rollkur will be a major step forward in ensuring that performance horses worldwide are being ridden and trained without force and mechanics.

Rollkur has a few passionate opponents who will be present at the FEI meeting next week, but they need our support to make an impression on the FEI officials.

If you believe in the Parelli vision to make the world a better place for horses and humans, please add your name to one or both of the following petitions.

Please share these links with your horse-loving friends, family and neighbors. Let's show the FEI that compromising the natural dignity of the horse for the sake of competition is NOT permissible!

http://www.no-rollkur.com The signatories to this petition ask the FEI to oppose the training method of "Rollkur"/Hyperflexion clearly and resolutely. The FEI rules are to be adapted correspondingly to ensure that in future the use of the method of the "Rollkur"/Hyperflexion will be regarded as a violation of these rules.

http://www.wu-wei-verlag.com/neu/ua.php?Aktion=ChangeLang&LANG=en&DIR=gl... Register your support to ban rollkur by adding your name to a petition which will be presented by Dr. Gerd Heuschmann - veterinarian, clinician and author of the book Tug of War; Classical versus Modern Dressage - at the FEI meeting on February 9, 2010.

 

Keep it Natural!

 

Thanks everyone!

Thanks to the Parelli community for taking action to help stop Rollkur. 41,000 signatures were collected worldwide and presented to the FEI Committee. Thank you for adding your names, you helped make the world a better place for horses and humans!

CAN YOU HELP PAT??

Posted Thu, 10/15/2009 - 17:35 by elizabethandriot elizabethandriot elizabethandriot elizabethandriot elizabethandriot

Dear friend,

Guess what?

We thought we had a horse for Pat to play with for both days at our Celebration at the LG Arena, November 21-22. Just as happens as in life, things changed, so we are asking for your help.

We are looking for a horse that will be a great ambassador program. He or she will need to have some everyday challenges – bolshi, scared, maybe both, not respectful of the humans space. Additionally:

Thank You from Linda

Posted Fri, 07/31/2009 - 19:45 by elizabethandriot elizabethandriot elizabethandriot elizabethandriot elizabethandriot

I'm so warmed by all the cards and letters and messages that have arrived to bring me good wishes and healing energy! 

Please know that it is working!! 

I look forward to being "back in the saddle" very soon. 

Thank you all so much. 

With love, Linda

Challenging horse lived up to its billing tonight

Posted Fri, 07/09/2010 - 23:33 by elizabethandriot elizabethandriot elizabethandriot elizabethandriot elizabethandriot

Our challenging horse lived up to its billing tonight at the Royal Featival of The Horse demo. Catwalk, an extremely Left-Brain stallion showed us his wonderful spirit and demonstrated that his unwillingness to bridle hasn't been created during the 8 weeks that Robert Whitaker has owned him but is clearly due to many years of fear of being bridled due to the lack of a basic foundation training.

Help us find two really difficult horses to challenge Pat Parelli!

We were shocked to hear that Cover-All Building Systems has stopped trading. Pat and Linda have two of these buildings and have always been extremely happy with the environment they provide for indoor riding. Our thoughts are with all of the Cover-All team at this difficult time.

Understandably, our recently launched Parelli-branded Building project is on hold until further notice. As soon as we learn more from Cover-All, we will be sure to update you.
