Product Description

Product Description
This is not a horse-training manual but a people-training one. Master horseman and teacher Pat Parelli offers a philosophy he calls "Natural Horse-Man-Ship", a form of horse-human communication in which the human learns to speak "horse" to the horse. The text is a blend of concepts and exercises. The exercises, or manoeuvres, are designed to help readers more fully comprehend the concepts and to help them communicate effectively with their horses. The volume is divided into three sections: "Natural Horse-Man-Ship - An Overview"; "Natural Horse-Man-Ship - On the Ground"; and "Natural Horse-Man-Ship - In the Saddle". Each section uses the six keys Pat has identified as vital in the development of a Natural Horse-Man - Attitude, Knowledge, Tools, Techniques, Time and Imagination. Like the petals of a flower, each key unfolds in the three sections until the heart of Natural Horse-Man-Ship is presented in its entirety.

About the Author
Pat Parelli, internationally known and respected as a master clinician, has helped thousands of riders on three continents (North America, Australia, and Europe) understand and communicate with their horses through his series of Natural Horse-Man-Ship courses. He has given demonstrations before capacity crowds at the National Finals Rodeo, the National Cutting Horse Association Futurity, the American Association of Equine Practitioners, the Australian Horse Congress, and Equitana in both Germany and the United States. He has also given bridle less reining and dressage demonstrations at the Olympics and the world championship snaffle bit futurity. He lives in Pagosa Springs, Colorado.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do not lend this book to anyone, 19 Sep 2000
By Jane123 (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Natural Horsemanship (Paperback)
If you let anyone borrow this book it will be a very long time before you have it returned and you will miss it! This is not a book that you can lightly read, it is more of a handbook of horse answers. The book inspired me to work on the Parelli Levels system and once I started applying the practical side to my horses the book fitted into place. It shows how to inspire your horse to have confidence in you and trust that you are not the predator that he once thought you were. Read the book try out a few simple games and you will most probably be hooked on Natural Horse-Man-Ship.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reading, 15 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Natural Horsemanship (Paperback)
Owning what was termed an "unrideable horse" I plodded away for nearly a year gaining the trust and working with our Caity. Pat Parelli could have saved me much time had I discovered this book earlier. His philosophy is mine. This was what I was looking for. I discovered happily that I was not a "horsey person" - much relief. His teaching is natural and the book emphasises both the rider's and the horse's responsibilities. Tried and tested his methods - they really work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Important book for anyone that truely cares about horses, 22 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Natural Horsemanship (Paperback)
This book should be a required read for anyone who is interested in caring for horses to the best of their ability and look after their mind, as well as their body, whether they be horse owners, horse workers, equestrians, or just an occasional rider. A book full of 'true knowledge' which teaches what is required to gain 'the knack' or 'gift' with horses.

Parelli, who is very experienced and knowledgable in the theory and practice of horse training, psychology and behaviour, gives us an understanding of how horses think and learn, so that we can learn to be more sympathetic, learning to do things with the horse, not to the horse, so that the horse can become a willing, safe, happy partner and enjoy your company too.

Parelli stresses that since 99% of problems with horses are 'problem people' not 'problem horses' his book is really a people-training book. He has developed a step by step program that is easily followed, that enables anyone with a fair attitude and fee! ling towards the horse to acheive outstanding results with any horse.
