What is Parelli Natural Horsemanship?
- It is a system that teaches you to become so good with horses, that even horses will think you're brilliant!
- It works through an understanding of the laws of nature.
- It is communication through understanding and psychology rather than force, fear, and intimidation.
- It considers the horse's point of view.
- It means no need for artificial aids of restraint.
- It teaches you to be a 'natural' with horses.
- It teaches you to think like a horse before you think like a human.
Pat Parelli's system of natural horsemanship focuses on understanding how horses think.
Horses are prey animals
When a horse feels threatened by a human, it reacts with the same instincts which help it to survive in the wild. In order to relate effectively with horses, you must learn how to avoid acting in a way which the horse perceives as predatory.
Horses are herd animals
Horses have a strong need for social order. They test each other to determine which horse will lead the herd. Horses engage in tests of dominance with humans as well.
When you understand the way horses think, learn how not to act like a predator, and can play the exact games that they do, only then will you begin to get extraordinary results.
