Does Parelli equal horse abuse?
From my limited knowledge, the parelli method is not one can pick and choose from, as for tricks, well that is part of their "show", showing how well the horses are trained, but as stated above, the method seems to be a bully method, and when the horse objects it is forced, literally to comply with the demands of the trainer, but is not "learning" how to do it in a natural way.

Young horses tend to like to feel things with their mouth and combined with being fed treats this can lead to them becoming nippy.
