The strong bond that we see today between horse and man has been cultivated throughout history. Humans have long had these highly intelligent creatures as companions, workers, and a source of inspiration.

Horse Whisperer

Horse Whisperer
Natural horsemanship is a discipline of horse training which advocates that training should involve working with the horse and that no force should be used against them. Pat and Linda Parelli are two unique individuals when it comes to teaching the art of horsemanship. The Parelli's run a horsemanship program, which involves the use of common sense psychology and communication to create a better relationship between horse and man.

The Parelli's horsemanship program was established in 1981 when Pat recognised a high demand for his method of horse training. The Parelli's teach humans how to interact with their horses. Their method of training and rearing horses is based on the essential principles of love, language and leadership. The Parelli's "horse whispering" uses body language to communicate with horses; this involves using eye movement, body movement, tone of voice, gentle pressure and the release of pressure to communicate.

Parelli instructors teach humans to observe and to listen to what the horse is saying in order to improve their performance. There is no doubt on the effectiveness of the Parelli's training approach but it takes time, patience and compassion. The program uses seven types of games to establish means of communicating with your horse. The Parelli games reinforce positive behaviour and helps horses to become more productive.

Pat and Linda conduct clinics all over the world and their methods have proved to be very effective. For further information on horse whispering visit Parelli.
