Principles and Philosophy
Our mission is to help raise the level of horsemanship worldwide and to make the world a better place for horses and the people who love them.
Parelli…
It is more than just about the horse. It really dips into the personal development side of things. You learn about yourself, you learn about communication, about leadership, about truthfulness, about consequence and responsibility. You learn about love and imagination. The horse becomes the animal that tells you the truth about yourself in all these categories.
Students of the Parelli program:
- Always put the relationship first
- Study four savvies at four levels (on-line, liberty, freestyle and finesse) – foundation before specialization
- Seek never ending self-improvement
Love, language and leadership in equal doses
