This message is from: Heather Baskey <cavy_l...@yahoo.com> I recently wrote to Membership Support as I wasn't impressed by a certain letter (still never validated) that was circulating on the internet. This was the response that I received (yes, official validated statement) from Parelli HQ.
Heather ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Heather, Thank you very much for your email. We understand your concern about safety and helmets and we are grateful that you took the time to email us so we can better address the issue. Our goal at Parelli Natural Horsemanship is to make the world a better place for horses and humans, and a critical component of that goal is safety. We support any protective gear - including helmets - that gives the rider a safer experience, and we require children under the age of 18 and recommend beginners wear helmets no matter the circumstances. We encourage each rider to thoroughly evaluate their situation, enroll in a training program and research and consider all available protective gear and safety procedures. Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Parelli Natural Horsemanship ________________________________ From: "plumg...@pon.net" <plumg...@pon.net> I ever went to a Parelli clinic, I would ask them what their insurance company thinks about their stance.
