Description

After three years of intensive dressage training with world-renowned dressage master Walter Zettl, Linda Parelli has unlocked the secret of sharing how to get horses to willingly accept bit contact. 

A truly revolutionary breakthrough, the Game of Contact addresses several riding issues in a natural way. If your horse has inactive hind legs, tongue displacement, choppy stride or any number of other issues related to contact, this DVD is an essential addition to your library. Comes packaged with the Study Manual that Linda gives to all riders in her wildly popular Game of Contact Clinics.

What People Are Saying

I love the Game of Contact DVDs! I got them with my volunteer voucher at the tour stop last weekend and have watched the first 2. I tried the techniques on my RBI today and it was amazing how relaxed and responsive he got. He has never really liked the bridle. He always raises his head and tries to avoid the bit. The bit simulations on the ground helped him a lot! He kept yawning and blowing. When I rode him he kept reaching for the bit and towards the end he even got a little cocky and started flipping his nose and pulling harder. Over all it was a great first session. I have been avoiding playing with Finesse for a while now becasue I did not want to do it wrong and cause problems. Thank you so much for making contact fun and easy for me and my horse. ~Mallory Fields

 


 

I just wanted to share with you my complete amazement at how much GoC has helped my RBE mare.

I lost this mare for a little while and knew somehow that she would be back on the market in due course. My reasoning...? No one liked to ride her. She is super bracey, super impulsive and really not very comfortable. To most. To me though she is amazing.

I believe she was never properly started and has huge claustraphobic issues with girths, nosebands and bits. As far as I know I am the only one to ride her in a bit with any degree of success.

I recently began the bit isolations from GoC with Mia. Having taken more than the 7 sessions and really let Mia be in charge if the timeline, I did a xc clinic and dressage test last weekend with her. I never thought Mia wiuld be any good at dressage and she doesnt really like arenas but she was phenomenal.

I had some fantastic comments about her movement and ability and potential. She actually felt far less resistant to the bit and, now that I understand that she likes more contact, and its OK to have that feel, her xc was almost perfect. We've a long way to go but GoC has put us firmly on better ground.

My heartfelt thanks for the gift of understanding contact and the knowledge & tools to help Mia understand and accept the bit.

Game of Contact
May 22, 2012 by Juliette Watt from United States

I have recently had the privilege of transcribing the Game of Contact for Parelli Natural Horsemanship Media department. I had no idea how absorbing this would become as I am probably one of the only people in the world who has gone through all 5 DVD's word for word and written each word down! In doing so I came to realize something quiet extraordinary. This DVD series is a very important to everyone who rides or teaches riding. It doesn't matter what level you are - you could even be a beginner. What you will learn is critical to riding a horse with and without a bit. Linda has tirelessly pursued the deepest ins and outs of seat, posture and what she calls Resting Hands. If you have never ridden before or you are a professional at the competitive level, it doesn't matter, you will learn how to sit much stronger in the saddle, have much quieter hands and elastic elbows. I loved that! All of which will make your horse happier underneath you. Using a great student, Bonnie, Linda takes you through each part of your body inch by inch, finger by finger to establish a better seat and posture in the saddle . I have never seen a teacher who has dedicated this much time and hard work to figure out how to do something as simple - we thought - as sitting in a saddle with absolute excellence. Thank you, Linda for your astonishing dedication to this topic. I sincerely hope that everyone who thought they didn't need or want the Game of Contact will read this and get it - it's for you. Please buy it immediately and make your horse a much happier equine! . .

Between Game of Contact and the Mastery DVD set I'm on my way to understanding and learning the ins and outs of Level 4 and Finesse. Thanks Linda for all your hard work to help us mere mortals understand a very complicated subject. Steffy
