Qualities, Principles, and Keys

Pat Parelli Proudly Presents his Provocative Program and the Proclamation that Prior and Proper Preparation Prevents P-Poor Performance, Particularly if Polite and Passive Persistence is Practiced in the Proper Position. This Perspective is Patience from Process to Product, Principle to Purpose. The Promise that Pat Plans to Prove is that Practice does not make Perfect, only Perfect Practice makes Perfect and,  isn't it Peculiar how Prey animals Perceive People as Predators.

8 Principles of Natural Horsemanship

Horsemanship is natural

Don't make or teach assumptions

Communication is two or more individuals sharing and understanding an idea

Horses and Humans have mutual responsibilities:
     Four for the Horse
     1. Don’t act like a prey animal. Become more mentally, emotionally and physically fit.
     2. Maintain gait.
     3. Maintain direction.
     4. Look where you are going.

      Four for the Human
     1. Act like a partner, not like a predator. Become more mentally, emotionally and physically fit.
     2. Have independent feet and therefore an independent seat.
     3. Think like a horse.
     4. Use the natural power of focus.

The attitude of justice is effective

Body language is universal

Horses teach humans; humans teach horses

Principles, purpose, and time are the tools of teaching
