Founded in 1981 by lifelong horseman and teacher Pat Parelli, the Parelli Natural Horsemanship Program combines common sense psychology and communication. Unlike many training programs, the Parelli method teaches the human, not the horse. The Parelli method allows horse lovers at all levels and disciplines to achieve: success without force, partnership without dominance, teamwork without fear, willingness without intimidation, and harmony without coercion. Parelli's mission is to help create a better world for horses and humans.
