PNH is an acronym for Parelli Natural Horsemanship.
PNH was created by a master horseman, Mr. Pat Parelli.
Pat Parelli is internationally renowned as one of the world's most provocative,
most talked about, most respected teachers of Natural Horsemanship. His teaching style is magnetic, motivational
and effective.
His wife Linda Parelli has added so much to the program with her ability to take
what Pat teaches and put it into a variety of teaching programs that provide clarity and a step by step approach
to learning. Linda has helped seperate PNH from all other equine study programs. There is no other horsemanship
program available that has the support, quality, variety and quantity of information packeged in a professional
study format in line with today's technology.
Many years ago Pat turned his focus from training horses to teaching people and has
put a great deal of study into the development of his programs. NORMAL is wanting to start at the top - to spin... to
slide... to jump... do lead changes... to ride with collection. NORMAL is believing the 'basics' are boring!
What we learn through PNH are not the NORMAL basics, they are some of the
most advanced concepts in horse psychology and behavior, and some of the most advanced techniques in working with horses both
on the ground and on their backs.
Pat and Linda's students achieve in just a few weeks what evades most NORMAL horsemen
and women in a lifetime!
Pat teaches us to be savvy in the four essential areas of becoming a Horseman:
On Line, At Liberty, riding Freestyle and with Finesse.
From just learning to be safer and have more fun with horses to achieving professional
and competitive goals, the PNH Programs are like nothing else anywhere in the world.
Pat and Linda Parelli helped those of us who are students finally define what Parelli
is. We are doing Parelli based on three things.
1. You put the relationship with the horse first.
2. You study in all four savvy's - on-line- liberty - freestyle - and finesse.
3. You are on a never ending journey for self improvement.
