I like how you put this very much for the most part. You may be absolutely right but
I don't take Pat's remark about "Anti-Parelli sentiments" as being directed at only Chris Irwin.
There are many anti-Parelli people out there. I…

Ayesha when ou mentioned him picking the calmest horse to do this "rehearsal" did you not listen to what he said? I am sure he mentioned something about this horse that she was unruly in some aspects, and so to SHOW you what he can do to a…

A very very good point. :) I like the way you put it.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with self promotion...but true self promotion, that which comes from a genuine and heartfel confidence t in ones' own method, focusses on "I'm good, and here's why..." not on "I'm…

I am all about the relationship and my trainer has rounded up mustangs on foot, an entire herd...... he has taught patience to me, and Oliver... we are all very patient with each other. Do you know how much flack we get????? that I don't ride…

Very well said indeed!.

I find that there is no substitute for the good old English way of horsemanship, followed by the old Western horsemen. Some of the riding is better today (jumping, cross-country) but the ideals of the British school of horsemanship have never failed…

I have studied many trainers, all the pros...have a trainer here too that is brilliant... I've learned though that for me, it is about the energy and the relationship... no trainer can teach me that... I have to get that with Toby and…

Aww you're a sweetie. Thank you. Have a wonderful week what's left of it, and a lovely weekend with the ponies :)

I like Chris Irwin alot but I totally agree with you Ayesha... I was sort of embarrassed for him that he made the video.... it was more for him than the horse I thought... bummer....
I don't know jack about horses but I agree with you..…

Had to say something.
I have watched Irwin's response about 5 times and every time it becomes less and less sincere. He is trying so hard it hits you in the face the sighing he keeps doing is loud and blatantly obvious ,and the way he is…

I have no doubt that Chris Irwin could have taught Catwalk and his rider Robert Whitaker a LASTING LESSON. It probabaly would have taken Chris more that a few hours, may be even several days, but he would have explaind everything he did, every move…

Oh please, don't get any silly ideas.
Ayesha replied to Frank de Greef's discussion 'Invitation from Chris Irwin'
I didn't think Irwin's video seemed very sincere at all and im surprised no one else noticed how rehearsed it was too much sighing and hand gestures that had been exaggerated, having a quiet horse resting over his shoulder to make him look…

Dorothy McDonall said… - Yes, well we all have those lovely tax abbreviations to contend with!!! And "Cheerz!" (usually spelt "Cheers" but I stylized it because of my singing group "ChoirGirlz") is a commonly used and cheerful message closer over here. And yes it is used as a toast as well. ;-) When will the Dutch translation of Chris' book be available? My girlfriend there might be interested in reading it.

- Sorry for the confusion ... I visited "Den Bosch" in April. It's a very nice town. We have some friends who live close to there. Also went to the Keukenhof to see all the tulips. This was one of my favourite parts of the trip. BTW means "By the way", just so you know ...Cheerz!

- Welcome to Barnmice, Frank! That translation sounds like quite the undertaking. It's a great book. Congrats on this accomplishment. BTW just visited The Netherlands for the first time and loved what I saw. Spent time in s'Hertogenbosch. Pretty place. Cheerz!
