ABOUT OUR DREAM HORSE PROGRAM
In the Parelli Dream Horse Program, all horses start with a great pedigree regardless of their breed or background. No matter their shape, size, color, or age, each horse progresses through the Parelli Program—from first rides to finishing touches.
The Parelli Dream Horse Program has been in place for over two decades now and works in conjunction with our resident student program at Parelli Natural Horsemanship Academy in Johnsonville, South Carolina. Pat’s Dream Horses provide the students with the opportunity to hone their horse development skills under the tutelage of Pat Parelli and his faculty.
Parelli Dream horses live outside in a herd environment—mares and geldings alike.
Their daily lives in the herd include living on the property where there are meadows and forest land, creeks to cross, and lakes to drink out of. On hot days, it's common to see them in the ponds and lakes past their bellies cooling off.
Every morning they come to the stable area to get their grain and vitamins.
This environmental influence helps them socialize with other horses and at the same time think, "Oh boy, the humans want to give us something good!" so they get the mental attitude of being raised in nature and knowing where their feet are, as well as wanting to have human interaction.
The foundation that every horse gets includes these four areas of development:
- Exercises on the ground that create bonding, obedience, and exuberance.
- Arena exercises that help horses prepare for English or Western performance futures.
- Living and being ridden outside over the hills and through the woods to make sure they are not “hothouse flowers”.
- Besides great environmental and principled learning, we give each horse education and purpose-driven horsemanship such as cattle work, jumping, opening gates, dragging logs, roping simulators, water crossings, working with other horses while being ridden, trailer loading, and farrier and veterinary prep. In other words, our horses can do anything and everything anytime, including being ridden bareback and preparing for English, Western, and speed event competitions.

“I could not be happier to have Arrow is my life. The training and foundation she came with have saved me so much time progressing to higher performance, and she is the reason my horsemanship has advanced to level four. I have been able to play with cows, explore advanced maneuvers such as spins and rollbacks. She is very willing to try and give me her best.
Horses teach humans is exactly right. Arrow has taught me to not only be a better horseman but a better human. I love getting off of her on the fence, sitting there as she puts her head in my lap and wants scratches. She is awesome.

Sunday, my dream horse, is one of my biggest blessings in life. She has inspired me to become a stronger leader and a better partner for her. My horses live at my home, so I spend many hours daily around them.
Sunday’s ground manners are impeccable, from grooming, playing with her, riding, or just hanging out she is always a pleasure to be around. Pat says, “Horses teach humans, humans teach horses”. Sunday has definitely taught me more in a couple of years than I’ve learned during my entire horse life of 52 years!
