>>>> Kinda like Linda Parelli taking Centered Riding techniques, slapping on her own name, and making it seem like she "invented" the concept.
Well, except if you really want to get literal about it, there's probably not much "new" in the Centered Riding books either, other than the expression of the ideas - the images. Centered Riding is simply good basic riding, mostly based on centuries-old basic dressage principals - I LOVE the first book, mainly because I can remember the images so well. Sometimes, I don't really think there's too much "new" in horsemanship or riding...but some people DO still sometimes come up with some new and clearer ways of expressing valid concepts. And as dense as I can be sometimes, I appreciate anyone who can make the light bulbs turn on in my brain, even if they only say the same things with new words. Karen Thomas, NC [EMAIL PROTECTED]
