  2. If you're worried about it, make yourself another couple gmail accounts and use them as your kids' accounts.
  3. No, the other stuff wasn't about Parelli. I'm glad you've found someone experienced to help you and best of luck on your training journey.:001_smile:
  4. :confused:Posted about one of the horses (Lipisina). From the FAQ. Apparently he does not agree with riding at all. Again, he is taking extreme cases and generalizing them to the entire horse world.
  5. I just went up and read more thoroughly and am now convinced these people are crazy. They don't allow horseshoes or halters? Also, they seem to believe you cannot have a good relationship with your horse if you restrain him/her at all. This lady, Stacy Westfall uses bits, halters, and horseshoes and look what the end result is. So beautiful.
  6. Some of that stuff is a bit, um, scary. Notice how they jump to extremes. All horses are kept penned in a stall all day. Not true. The use of a whip is immediately equated to beating. Yes, a whip can be used cruelly, however it can also be used as a reinforcement of the leg and just a tap. All bit are painful and cruel. Sure, if you jerk the bit it is going to be painful. Some bits should not ever be but in a horse's mouth. Some should only be put in a horse's mouth if the rider has very good hands. But, the bit can also be a method of communication that is easy for the horse to understand and can be used subtly. also, they seem to be advocating that you should be your horse's equal. That is not the way a horse looks at the world. There is always a dominate horse, even if the horses are best friends. Your horse can adore you and still accept that you are the leader.
  7. Are they really advocating that all horse shows should be abolished?:001_huh: or do they just want all horse events removed from the Olympics?
  8. The version that I have made is leavened. You make the dough, let it rise, make the dough into balls, roll the balls as flat as possible, and then cook them in a pan with some olive oil.
  9. Sounds like it would work. Usually, reading the book and doing the exercises takes 1-2hrs a week and the experiment takes about 2 hrs, including the write up. We have been watching the Khan Academy chemistry videos, but you certainly would not have to watch them.
  10. Spectrum Chemistry is good. It has a lot of labs. It is, however, fairly expensive.
  11. No Flash is the biggest. There are a few ways to get around this though, I think.
