He began as a rodeo rider, was successful at it for fourteen years, and tried to find life after rodeo by training horses. The answer lay in teaching people instead of training horses Ǥ ǯ trained start slipping backwards when being handled and ridden by people who lacked the expertise to keep them making progress. Several of his customers talked him into giving riding lessons which at ǯ ǡ ǡ Ǥ evident that this was where the answer lay, not in training horses, but in teaching people how to train their own. Dzdz The more Pat taught, the more he realized he had to find ways to get people to be able to learn the Dzdzǡ ǡ ǡ Ǥ positions. So Pat began to develop a system built around much more than just words: he used concepts and tasks and allowed the details to come later. He found that if he could think of imaginative challenges, people would progressively develop the feel, timing and balance it took to be able to do them. Ǥǯ ǯ ǡ ǡ more savǤ ǯǤǡ -people were becoming adept, skilled and confident. Many of our top students started off with difficulties and ǯ ǡ ǯ themselves and developed the savvy to then master their horses. ǯ ǯ Ǥǡ and learning behaviors of horses, it teaches the human to become a horseman, step by step. Pat begins at the beginning, which means on the ground and not in the saddle. He teaches you to develop a relationship with the horse, then become his teacher, gain more confidence and understanding, develop an independent seat, feel, timing and balance. All the while you are urged to challenge yourself, to get better and better, to become an improve-aholic. 7 ǯ r been with horses. The ǡǯǤ You learn about liberty, riding without bridles, incredible ground skills like laying horses down, leading them by the tail.... and the most complicated and impressive maneuvers of all the top sports with ultimate finesse. ǯ ... and the answer is, very little. This is about going on and beyond the expected norms. ǯ ǡǤ horses, the better life is for the horse. And the more simple everything starts to become with your partner: trail riding, dressage, jumping, cutting, reining, racing, roping.... you name it. The goals may be the same but this is a more natural approach, not one fraught with frustration, discipline, tie-downs and harsher bits. This one is fun for both you and the horse. Pat Parelli is one of the most provocative thinkers, teachers and horsemen of our time. His system explodes the well-propagated myths and misunderstandings around horses and gets to the real truths of what horsemanship is all about. Whether your goal is just to have a betteǡǯ heights of your sport, this system will get you there with more fun, more reward and more savvy than you could imagine possible. You are in a special position; you have been invited to become a Licensed Parelli Professional and to help Pat Parelli turn his vision into a reality. You need to cherish this opportunity and treat your career as a Licensed Parelli Professional with the care and dedication which it demands. By now, you know Pat; there is no room for compromise, especially at this level. We have high expectations and we demand them of you as well. Welcome to the Licensed Parelli Professional Program.

By sharing our objectives and values with you, we hope that it will be possible for you to do two things: 1. Follow the PARELLI path closely but with your own personality. 2. Anticipate where PARELLI is headed and forecast changes (perhaps before we even announce them!) The following pages summarize a massive amount of thought and embody our intentions for the long term. Let us know what you think... it is a living document. 9 Objectives for the Licensed Parelli Professional Program: To establish a base of Licensed Parelli Professionals that we can confidently recommend to students and customers. To develop and motivate a Licensed Parelli Professionals team which is committed to excellence by remaining positive, progressive and natural. To make available new knowledge and skills so Licensed Parelli Professionals can keep themselves up to date. To progressively expand the Parelli Professional Program to offer instruction on a local level throughout the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and eventually to other parts of the world while enhancing the quality of the instruction.

  • Tammy Yost-Wildin of the Heart T Ranch Near Billings MT
    Hi PBEA members In the past I have enjoyed clinics that Teresa and Jamie have arranged. I especially enjoyed the regular clinics that Michael Larsen came down and gave. It was really my start in riding dressage. It was very helpful having the clinic on a regular basis where Michael got to know me and my horse and we had homework we could practice on until the next time he was down. Recently Desiree and I have been riding with Tammy Yost-Wildin of the Heart T Ranch near Billings MT. We have had a lot of fun riding with Tammy and really made some progress including going to Championships last year and placing our first year!!! It has been wonderful to be back in a consistent program. I recently had the opportunity to ride a lesson with Robyn Fisher who was the judge at the horse trials and is very good. The lesson was right on track with what I have been working on with Tammy. I have continually been impressed with Tammy’s horsemanship skills. Tammy has agreed to put on a clinic in Gillette on Aug 9 & 10. This first clinic Tammy would like to concentrate on flat lessons. She likes to have a real feel for the horse/rider combos before they jump. Most of the issues people have can be fixed with dressage. In future clinics, jumping lessons would be available for previous participants. The cost would be $75 per lesson and Auditing would be free for PBEA members. We need to know by July 29 if we have enough lessons for Tammy to come down.

  • To BIT Or Not to BIT That Is the Question… Why We Went Bitless Pam Allen-Leblanc, Agr., MBA, Hidden Brook Farm
    To BIT or not to BIT that is the question… why we went bitless Pam Allen-LeBlanc, Agr., MBA, Hidden Brook Farm I learned to ride with a bit. When I instructed Pony Club, I taught people to put three wrinkles in the horses‟ mouth to adjust the bit properly. It never occurred to me to question this logic or to go against centuries – even millennia of horsemanship principles that seemed to work. I tried to keep my hands light and thought that was sufficient to provide comfort to my horse. Then Kevin Crane made me see that the wrinkles were not necessary – that a horse can hold the bit in their mouths. My husband and I tried just with fingers in our mouths to simulate 3 wrinkles – and no wrinkles. It was definitely easier to feel a light touch when the bit was loose – so we took out the wrinkles. And my horses liked it better. But we talked about it, and realized that although it was more comfortable with no pressure, it certainly was not comfortable to have even fingers – much less metal in our mouths – and we started to wonder… I had long since started keeping my horses naturally. They go in and out as they please and their health and happiness improved dramatically when I let go of the accepted convention of keeping my horses in a barn. I stopped shoeing my horses long ago. Barefoot just seemed healthier and more natural to me, even though I had not yet studied the structure of the hoof or perfected my trimming techniques as I later would.
