Like most students, I had a challenging horse that caused me to seek out more information. After getting a lot of bad advice from all the ‘so-called experts’, I finally came upon Parelli Natural Horsemanship. I was amazed at how I was getting results with my horse from just watching and listening to a cowboy on a video talk about playing games with your horse. To say the least I was impressed. I was also impressed that Pat had developed a system for others to teach his method. I set my goals on becoming a Parelli Professional.

My Parelli journey got a fast start and has only gotten faster. After studying the home study packs and taking a few private lessons with a licensed instructor, I took a 10-week school module at the Parelli Center. I had a big realization that there was a whole lot more to Parelli and horses then I imagined! Since that time I did whatever I could to be a part of Parelli, taking another school module, several university modules, and going on tour with Pat and Linda.

The biggest thing that has helped me along my journey, has been meeting my wife Kathy. I met her my first year on the campus and we have shared the journey together ever since.

Along my journey, I have had great opportunities, including joining the Parelli Faculty. In my five years on the faculty, I have been able to meet and help a lot of students from all over the world with their horses. I love helping people with their horses and seeing their successes.

Kathy and I now teach across the world, offering lessons, clinics, workshops, camps, and horse development! Book your spot for 2013 today! Call for details or visit our website using the info above.

Having first started with horses in his mid-twenties, David soon realized how important it was to find a good instructor, one that was actually a true horseman and understood how to teach the horse and human.

David discovered Pat Parelli and Pat’s teaching program in natural horsemanship in 1989. He attended a two-day course instructed by Pat and was so taken by Pat’s knowledge, expertise, and teaching methods with horses that he has followed in Pat’s path ever since.

Since this time David has participated every year in courses with Pat, first in Australia from 1989 to 1996 and then in the USA until the present day.

Throughout this time he has taught and demonstrated in New Zealand, worked in Japan starting Colts, and also lived in the USA for a year teaching, doing Foundation Training, and starting Colts. At this time David managed over one hundred quarter horses. During this one year period, David was also fortunate enough to study under Master Horseman and one of Pat’s mentors, Ronnie Willis.

Due to his natural love for horses, David has chosen to dedicate his time to the Parelli Program and to being a Parelli Professional, helping horses and riders.

It was in 1995 that David became an Endorsed Parelli Instructor and for 22 years he has been teaching Pat’s program both in Australia and overseas. David has taught over a thousand Parelli Courses and camps and started, under saddle, over nine hundred young horses.

Now living on a cattle property in Queensland, David travels extensively throughout Australia with his horses teaching the Parelli Program. David never fails to amaze people with his incredible ability to cause them to understand and progress in Pat’s teaching program. His depth of knowledge of the Parelli Levels 1,2, 3 & 4, and his extensive teaching experience enables him to provide people with the foundation for excellence in all horsemanship endeavors and to have them experience a relationship with their horse far beyond what they ever thought possible.

Learn and teach passionately. Adrian Heinen passes on his knowledge with the greatest pleasure.

Adrian Heinen was one of the first Parelli instructors in Europe. He was born in St. Gallen, later he moved with his parents to Valais, where he grew up as one of six children. As a three-cheese high he spent his first school holidays on a farm in Thurgau. As unbelievable as it sounds – from then on two things were fixed for him: 1. He will become a veterinarian; 2. He will have horses. So he used the natural power of focus as a common thread in his life early on and without knowing it.

This led him first to the horses in the area, then to his first own horse, and finally to the mules in the military, up to his studies as a veterinarian and further training in horse dentistry. He literally devoured everything that had to do with horses, work with horses, breeds, behavior, riding styles, training, equipment, traditions, and myths. And the more knowledge accumulated over time, the clearer it was for him that he looked for something special in dealing with horses and mules in the “normal world”. For a way to naturally win over horses.

This search and his quest for knowledge finally led him to a course in Switzerland in 1991 with an unknown American cowboy and rodeo rider from the USA – he met Pat Parelli. His long search ended here. He soon followed Pat Parelli to the United States to learn from him. This stay was followed by others in which he trained from Pat to an instructor.

Today Adrian Parelli is a 5-star licensed master instructor, veterinarian, dentist, and recognized mule enthusiast. He is a passionate teacher. In the meantime, he passes on his enormous knowledge, ability, and experience in many places around the world to his students in Parelli courses up to Level 4 and beyond with great success. As a guest at trade fairs, shows, and other events around and for Parelli Natural Horsemanship, he is always one of the highlights with his long-time companions, the mules “Don Alfredo” and “Lenza”.

Never-ending self-improvement: Adrian is constantly and purposefully honing his personal lightness and finesse with delicacy and dedication. He also seeks and finds support and recognition from other important horse people and teachers, such as Mike Bridges or Philippe Karl, to name just a few. Adrian will continue with the process of lifelong learning to satisfy his excessive hunger for knowledge and to competently accompany people with their horses on their way to natural partnership, harmony, and delicacy.

As a Parelli 5-star master instructor, Adrian teaches courses, camps, workshops, and private lessons in all 4 Savvys (online, liberty, freestyle, and finesse) from level 1 to level 4 and beyond.

Further offers seminars on the topics of hoof, anatomy, and biomechanics of the horse,

It was love at first sight when I got my first pony, (Shawnee) for my 11th birthday. My second pony came when my neighbors got tired of having their grandchildren bucked off and run away with. They begged me to take Cindy a wild Chincoteague pony. I played with her every day for a year before ever asking her for a ride. When I did get on her, we merged and were one and the same.

My first foal, Bombadil came as a result of breeding Cindy to a very nice Arabian stallion. Again I played with him daily. When the big day came for my first ride my family and friends gathered for the much-awaited event. We walked, trotted, cantered, changed leads, jumped, stopped, and backed. Anything I could think of we did that first ride. With Cindy’s second foal, Geminie, I repeated the same training lots of love: lots of play: lots of trust.

It wasn’t until I started looking into the competitive world that I realized that the experience of others was not the same as mine. I found no trainer or instructor that I was willing to submit myself or my horses to.

Then, in May 2000, in Louisville, Kentucky at Equitana, I saw an amazing horseman, who had an incredible relationship with his horses: Pat Parelli. He and his wife Linda with a dozen or so students were doing amazing things with their horses. I knew, on a deep intuitive level, that after 30 years of constant involvement with horses I had found an instructor whose skill with, and understanding of horses was extraordinary. And so I started my formal Parelli Natural Horsemanship Journey.

I have never looked back.

Let’s Journey Together!

Lauren Barwick 4-Star Senior Instructor, as well as Gold and Silver Medalist in Dressage at the Paralympics, understands the importance of building a foundation. And the best part of teaching for her is helping people with the fundamental levels. There are a lot of professionals who will tell you to Get your horse rounder, But how do you get your horse rounder?

Helping you to have a great foundation in Refinement, Finesse, and Dressage (Western or English), is what Lauren really excels in. It is very important to her as a teacher to help you establish this foundation. If you can ride perfect circles, collect your horse, and have good impulsion everything else comes easily.

Lauren decided to call what she does Bridging the Gap^TM Horsemanship because she lives in many worlds. She lives in the Horsemanship program; she is competing in Reining; she is preparing to compete in her 5th Paralympics in Dressage. Lauren is learning there is a huge difference between Western and English and yet they use similar principles.

What she wants you to know right here is that with Western, English, Dressage, Horsemanship there is no right or wrong. It just depends on what you want to do with your horse— what your individual goals are.

By her early 20’s Lauren was working full time at a Movie Studio Ranch specializing in horses and learning about stunt performing. It was there that she broke her back” when while feeding the horses a 100-pound bale of hay fell 10 feet and hit her on the back. From that moment on she was, as she says vertically challenged.

Lauren thought she would never ride again. However, with the help of many, she started pursuing what she was passionate about Equestrian-ism. Meeting Linda and Pat Parelli and following their Parelli Natural Horsemanship program gave Lauren a solid foundation and the competitive edge with which to compete and succeed.

Twenty + years later Lauren Barwick has attended four Paralympics, and four World Games in Para-Equestrian Dressage. Bringing home Gold, Silver, and Bronze Olympic Medals.

Lauren has been fortunate enough to be able to take her passion to the next level and teach both Parelli Natural Horsemanship and Dressage. This has allowed her the opportunity to share with many the incredible feeling that horses have to offer on an emotional, mental, and physical level.

I grew up in Durham CA, on a family farm. I loved horses from day one. When I was six, I got my first pony. She was meant to be for all the kids on the farm, but after most of them fell off or got run away with, she was clearly mine. I didn’t care where she went as long as I was with her! She was my first instructor on the importance of an independent seat.
My family also raised Belgian Draft horses so I have been involved in Driving horses before I could ride.
When I was nine years old I started going to visit my uncle, Pat Parelli. I graduated from level one and started visiting him every summer.

On my 12th birthday, my grandmother gave me a horse named Prince. With Prince, I was able to bring my own horse when I went to study with my uncle. It was awesome getting to graduate from a pony to a real horse! When I was 14 I got my level 3, the youngest level 3 in the world. I started studying with Pat, even more, spending several months in the summer and a month in the winter. I also began teaching around my hometown in California.

When I was 17, I moved to work for Pat and Linda full time. I worked in Pat’s barn as a protege, went on tour, had lessons with Pat and Linda, played with their top horses, and had wonderful experiences with some amazing people and horses. While I was working for Pat, I met my husband Nate Bowers while he and his Dad were teaching driving to some of Pat’s top students. During that same time, I graduated my level 4 at the age of 20. Soon after, Nate and I were engaged and moved to Fort Collins, Colorado to work on his family farm. On August 15, we were married in Pagosa Springs. Since then we have been helping students reach there Horse-Man-Ship goals, whether in driving or riding.

I have been very blessed to be able to travel all over the United States doing demos and sharing Parelli, I have studied with Walter Zettl, Craig Johnson, David and Karen O’Conner, Pat and Linda Parelli, Luis Lucio, Steve Bowers, and many others. I am now a 4 Star Senior Instructor and Horse Development Specialist.

I am currently traveling across the US teaching Linda’s new revolutionary Game of Contact courses. I am one of a few certified instructors in the world. I also teach clinics and lessons to students of all levels at my home in Fort Collins, Colorado. My personal horsemanship goals are taking me and my phenomenal partner, Saphire, to eventing competitions in my area.

After graduating from Agricultural College I began as a farmhand all over the state and also tried to learn more about horses from whoever would care to share something about them. In 2003 I saw a Parelli Natural Horsemanship demonstration given by a former Parelli Professional and was blown away. That same week I found an old audiotape of Pat’s in ‘horseland’ and bought it, as I was driving around for the next couple of days that’s all I played, it just made so much sense to do thing naturally, to do things from the horse’s point of view.

I started the program immediately and in-between jobs I would spend my time trying to develop my horsemanship through the home study program and Parelli instructors visiting WA. I would have about 3 weeks off before each seasonal job started and at that time I would just play with my horses and I did, I played and rode all day, all day long I couldn’t get enough. In 2007 I headed for the Parelli Campus in Florida for a 6-week course and though some persistence scored a position as a Rand Hand for the next 12 months. In the summer of 2008, I was a student in a 10-week long University Module which included a 3 week Colt Start lead by 5-Star Australian Instructor Rob McAuliffe.

At the beginning of 2009 I spend 4 months at the Australian center in Sydney, where I assisted teaching a 4-week course and continued on in helping make improvements to the center, until June when I return to America as an Intern in the current Mastery Program. At the start of 2010, I became a Protégé and received a 3^rd Star as an Instructor and a rating as a Horse Development Specialist. After spending 18 months riding with and being around Pat Parelli on a daily bases, I gained a strong understanding and importance for being natural with horses, not only for the horse’s sake but also for myself. I have been back in Australia for the past 5 years teaching and starting horses, mainly in Western Australia, though do travel interstate also. I have had the opportunity to teach Fast Tracks here in AUS, UK, and in Germany the past 4 years and continue to better my horsemanship.

I hope that you’re ready for your journey and I look forward to coming and helping you with the ingredients you need to become successful with horses. For more information about up and coming clinics/workshops/lessons please refer to the schedule on my profile page or go to www.samcaporn.com.au.

Thank you for visiting my bio in your research. For your reference, please check my website and Facebook pages for further information. I would be pleased to receive your inquiries and/or questions personally via my email, phone, or by FB messenger to Fiona Darling FB page or Horsemanship Macedon Ranges FB page. I post current events available for bookings on my website, the www.parelli.com website, and the Horsemanship Macedon Ranges FB page.

I have been a Parelli Instructor since 1997 so now have over 23 years of coaching people through Levels 1 to 4 in all four savvys. This has provided me with a diverse and thorough understanding of what it takes to achieve an ever more meaningful and dependable partnership with a horse.

From my experiences, I know the Parelli program to be an outstanding, first of its kind home study program offering people from all horse pursuits a solid foundation from which they can then specialize. Whatever your horsemanship dreams or goals may be through understanding the nature of the horse and working with your horse by putting the relationship first you will discover the surest pathway to success with safety, excellence, truth, and results as the cornerstones.

I now live at Carlsruhe between Woodend and Kyneton in the Macedon Ranges region of Victoria just 1 hour north of the city center of Melbourne with easy access from the Calder Hwy, with my husband Rob and son Stuart along with 4 horses, 1 dog (Missy a Kelpie x Border Collie), guinea fowl and the various Australian wildlife that live around our property “Seven Keys”.

Horses in my life today: Annie my chestnut Anglo Arab x QH mare with a blaze and 4 white socks, Taci (Black Horse Manor Anastacia) a dark brown first cross Andalusian x TB/QH mare, Maggie (Black Horse Manor Magdalena) a young bay Andalusian mare and the most recent addition Gramayre Honey Bear a Knabstrupper x Friesian filly black/dark brown with a blanket born at Gramyre Friesian Horse stud.

My other horses with whom I have shared my life with for the rest/all of their lives: Willow (Willow Lane) a dark brown TB ex-racehorse gelding, Kes (Adlerweiss) a grey Hannoverian mare, Tim a black TB ex-racehorse gelding, Maddie (Mahalaweiss) daughter of Kes also grey and TB x (father TB Chandra Mahal), Rudi a 17+hh son of Kes and another grey with the sire Figaro a Dutch warmblood stallion, Buzz a bay gelding with a lovely big white star and diagonally opposite white socks as my son’s Welsh Mountain pony.

For those new to Parelli who are researching my role as a Parelli Professional here is the story of my journey as both a student and Instructor through the Parelli levels program, along with some of the experiences it has opened up to me along the way.

Disillusioned with my Hannoverian warmblood mare Kes’s responses to the traditional methods of dressage training as we progressed through the ranks to Medium competition level I had ceased competition and lost direction and motivation.

My first taste of all that the Parelli program has to offer came when I attended my first Partnership course in September 1995 with Maddie my newly started young mare thinking that this would be a good outing for her. Wow! This course opened up a whole new world of learning based on life from a horse’s perspective and it was organized in such a way that I felt empowered in the process. I was so excited by the possibilities that lay ahead!

With a Science Degree majoring in Zoology and a Diploma of Education from Monash University Clayton Vic my career had taken me down the pathway of secondary school teaching for many years.
It was upon reflection soon after this my first Parelli course that I could see a way to incorporate my love of being involved with people in a learning environment, the study of animal behavior, and my childhood dream of having a career with horses.

At this course, it was advised to me by the Course Instructor that the best way to make progress through the Parelli levels program was to start with your easiest horse. With this in mind over the months that followed I decided it would be best to bring Kes out of the paddock, after 5 years as a broodmare, to be my first horse to take to Level 4.

In July 1997 I studied at the Colorado ISC and headed back to Australia as a Student Instructor. I began to live my dream career!

Gaining coaching experience around Australia and in the UK and making return trips to both the Colorado and Florida ISCs with Linda and Pat Parelli as well as teaching and assisting at courses at the Australian Parelli Campus resulted in my achievement of 3*Star Instructor status in Feb 2003 and 4 *Star Senior Instructor status in Feb 2014.
Over the years I have returned to the USA 10 times to study with Pat and Linda Parelli in my commitment to never-ending self-improvement and to keep up to date with the latest innovations and developments in the Parelli Program.

As a Parelli Professional I have had many wonderful opportunities to travel around Australia as far north as Darwin and Pine Creek with nearby Kakadu in NT, Kununurra by the absolutely huge Lake Argyle and gateway to the Kimberleys in WA, Cairns by the Great Barrier Reef in Qld and south to Riddells Creek and the Mornington Peninsula around Melbourne Vic, to name a few with many fabulous places and people in between!

I have been very fortunate to spend time teaching courses in places not visited by many Australians but deeply embedded in our Australian psyche such as Monkira Station a cattle station just under 1 million acres on the Diamantina River in outback Qld.
It is always wonderful to meet so many students all with their own inspiring stories of their life journeys to tell and enthusiastic to learn and progress in their horsemanship by following the Parelli levels program.

With my son Stuart now 21, I understand well the challenges faced by many students I meet in juggling family life, career, and horsemanship.
It is important to me that students can strive for their horsemanship dreams and goals by having accessibility to lessons, workshops, weekend clinics, and home-based multi-day intensive study modules, the first 3 styles of events both at my home base and other locations as organized by interested individuals and groups.
I am dedicated to creating opportunities for both children and adults to learn more about their horses and themselves in their progress through the Parelli levels program.

Now at our new 40-acre property “Seven Keys” Carlsruhe Vic between Kyneton and Woodend in the Macedon Ranges Shire. I have set up a play paddock containing undulating terrain, obstacles, a 55′ metal round yard, a honeycomb, a 60 x 30 m all-weather sand arena, and 6 spacious guest horse yards.

I am offering what I have termed “Intensive Study Modules”, each levels specific and available for 1 to 6 students and their horses to attend at a time to provide a small group setting with more personalized attention. These modules offer focused progression for those able to attend over a 3 to 4 day weekend emphasizing the importance of setting goals and becoming more focused. Each module provides the specific individualized stepping stones each participant requires in order to achieve the goals they have set for themselves under my guidance at the start of the module. The layout of the facilities at Seven Keys is designed to enable a smooth transition for horse and human in their progress through the levels in all four savvies.

In closing, I would like to thank all the students it has been my privilege to teach so far. Your enthusiasm and dedication is my inspiration to be the best Instructor I can be!
I look forward to meeting up with you and your horse at future courses both around Australia and at home at Seven Keys.

To educate, challenge and inspire are key to what I have to offer as n experienced Senior Parelli Instructor in supporting students of the Parelli program with their horsemanship dreams and goals for sport, work, or recreation.
Good, better, best, never let it rest, get your good better, and your better best!

Since I was a young girl, I have always been around animals, dogs, cats, birds, you name it. I took English riding lessons at age 13, and at age 15, I got my first horse. I was a member of Pony Club and competed in local Hunter Jumper shows. I received my bachelor’s degree in animal physiology and neuroscience at the University of California, San Diego in 1992, and started working at the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park. I went on to become a Senior Keeper. In my 15 year career at the zoo, I had the opportunity to care for some amazing animals. The horse was always a big part of my life too.

The first time I saw Pat and Linda was 1998 at a tour stop at the City of Industry in Los Angeles. That day changed my life! I thought I knew a thing or two about communicating with animals. Watching Pat and Linda that day, I realized how much I did not know. Instead of making the horse do something, I saw how love, language, and leadership created a willing partner who wanted to do it for you. I bought Pat’s book and started my journey through the levels. I attended courses at the Parelli Center for the first time in the summer of 2001 for a three week level-3 course with Pat. Since then, I have spent part of every summer at the Parelli Center advancing my horsemanship. I also had the opportunity to spend time with one of Pats mentors, Ronnie Willis, learning about colt starting in Montana.

I finished my Level 3 in 2003 and decided to change careers and become a Parelli Professional. In 2004, I started teaching Parelli Natural Horsemanship. I am licensed to teach Levels 1,2 3 and 4. I had the opportunity to teach at the Parelli campus for 5 years in a row as a Course instructor.   I am a student of not only the horse but also dressage and competing on the San Diego Open Circuit in Fourth Level. Recently I have been competing and learning about Working Equitation and Cowboy Dressage.   My Horse Panadero and I won San Diego Grand Circuit Champion in Open Division Dressage in 2013-2015. In 2016, I received my 4th Star as a Senior Parelli Professional.

I am so proud to be a part of teaching this program. One of the most rewarding aspects of my job as a teacher of this program is the changes I see not only in myself but my students. When they get it when they start to think like a horse! Seeing them succeed is so important to me. My husband Mike and I have a small ranch in the Valley Center, the N.E. part of San Diego, Ca. When I am not teaching clinics, you can find me here, advancing my horsemanship. To visit my website, go to www.margitdeerman.com or www.facebook.com/margitdeerman.

The horse fever got me very early. I discovered my love for horses at the age of 4. When I was 12, I attended my first Parelli clinic and figured out pretty quick that, not only a life without horses was unthinkable, horses are my life. Ambitious, with several ups and downs, I completed the levels with the hope, to one day have the opportunity to study with Pat and Linda Parelli. In 2009 this moment came. Thanks to the great support of the swiss Instructors I arrived well prepared for my Externship. The planned three months turned into 4 years. The first two at Pat’s barn and the last two at Linda’s barn.

The time in America strengthened my passion for horses even more and I found the love for the sport again. Shortly after my return home from the States I started my project at the Horsedevelopment Center LEE in Bernhardzell.

I am very blessed to have the opportunity to develop these young and talented athletes with the support of my trainer Luis Lucio.

I am currently a Parelli Protege, Four Star Senior Instructor, and Game of Contact Specialist.
I am currently based on the Parelli campus working every day with Linda Parelli and the Parelli team.
I am one of the instructors teaching courses at the Parelli campuses.

My long term goal is to specialize in English Sport Horse Development, particularly Dressage horses. I love the intricacy of developing a horse gymnastically as well as having to it in a way that the horse feels free within the boundaries of some of the exercises.

The Parelli Program has changed how I view "problems" with my horses. The program has given me systems and filters to sort through things that used to be frustrating. This is much more than a "horse training" program, the program empowers you to see the world from the horse's perspective.

As a Parelli Professional I can provide you with a variety of personalized services.

• Clinics - I will travel to you and teach you and your friends in a 2-3 day format based on the Parelli Program.
• Workshops - I will travel to you and teach 3 hour a topic specific workshop.
• Lessons - Depending on your location I will travel to you or do a lesson day following a clinic. I can do private and group lessons.

Ringrazio mio nonno che all’eta’ di 8 anni per la prima volta mi mise sulla groppa di uno dei suoi muli… e quel giorno non l’ho mai piu’ dimenticato.

Ho trascorso la mia infanzia e l’adolescenza frequentando le scuole classiche di equitazione inglese e western fino a che non e’ arrivato nella mia vita un cavallo di nome Charlye che mi ha fatto capire la grande mancanza di comunicazione che normalmente c’e’ tra l’uomo ed il cavallo.

Finalmente nel 1998 ho assistito ad una dimostrazione di Pat Parelli e da quel momento per me e’ iniziata la vera comunicazione con i cavalli. Era cio’ che stavo cercando!!!
La mia vita e’ migliorata e anche quella dei cavalli che ho incontrato.

Ora il mio sogno e’ diventato il mio lavoro.

Horses had captured my heart by the time I was three years old. I spent my childhood riding and playing (riding like a “banshee” with my best friend) in Boulder, Colorado. I temporarily left horses behind when I went away to college but combined my passion for them and for the mountains during several summers when I worked at Sanborn Western Camps, west of Pikes Peak, as the Head Wrangler. That experience of leading groups of kids on horseback into the mountains on 4 and 5-day trips proved invaluable. It was also tons of fun!

Later in 1995, the Parelli program also captured my heart after I’d returned to horses and spent a few successful yet frustrating years competing in NRHA reining. The combination of horses and a natural, empowering way to develop partnerships with them proved intoxicating! The Parelli instructors’ program accepted me in 1997, I left my “real” job as a psychologist in 2000, and haven’t looked back since. Currently, I’m a 4-Star Senior Instructor and a Horse Development Specialist. Each year from 1997 to 2016, I studied directly with Pat and/or Linda.

After living in Minnesota for 42 years, I returned to my home state of Colorado in 2019. I teach and train wherever you are in northern and central Colorado. I have taught at the Parelli campus in Pagosa Springs, in Costa Rica, the U.K., and east and west Africa. Currently, I’m offering private, semi-private lessons and coaching.

I’ve always loved horses and as a child was forever reading books and watching horse films, such as Black Beauty, National Velvet, and The Black Stallion. I remember dreaming about having a horse that was my best friend, one that would follow me anywhere and one that I could ride with no saddle or bridle just like I’d read about and seen in the movies. Of course, I knew this wasn’t really possible but dreamt of it all the same…..

I bought my first horse when I was 20 and chose what I thought was the horse of my dreams… Looking back he was completely unsuitable as a first horse. He was a young, pretty much unstarted Arab gelding who was terrified of everything. To me he was perfect! I thought he was beautiful and I loved his wildness. In my mind, I had decided that it would be easy to tame him and have him become my partner just like the horses I’d seen in the movies. With a bit of love and time, I thought he’d soon be following me everywhere and thought we’d be able to go anywhere together.

Well…. that dream lasted all of about 5 minutes as I started to realize I had my hands full! I have very clear memories of him spooking and being terrified of everything, I couldn’t tie him, he was difficult to trim, vet and for the dentist, he wouldn’t stand still for saddling or mounting (my friend would hold him as I ran in a circle around her trying to girth the saddle, etc) and when we did ride out he would jog everywhere and be up everyone’s drive whenever a car came by, (he once jumped a 3-foot garden wall onto someone’s lawn because of a lorry passing).

I spent about a year schooling him using all the usual techniques and we did make some progress but he was still very spooky and panicky about lots of things and when I rode he would want to bolt at any opportunity. Any time I released the reins even a little he’d take off.

Then…… luckily…. my Aunt and Uncle bought me tickets to see Pat and Linda Parelli at a two-day teaching conference. I had heard of natural horsemanship before and tried a few things I’d read about but I had never seen Parelli before. My life changed that weekend! I literally sat mesmerized for the whole two days. This was exactly what I’d been looking for and dreaming of and I never knew it existed. I watched Pat play with a challenging horse that acted quite similarly to Phoenix. In a very short time, the horse became calm, trusting and happy to do as he asked both on the ground and ridden. Watching Pat work and listening to him explain why horses behave the way they do, I was able to see how to go about achieving exactly the same results with my horse.

There was also an Instructor team at this event and I watched them ride around with no saddles or bridles. They cantered, jumped, and could turn and stop with no reins, and then, when they got off, their horses followed them around. I remember watching amazed and then thinking “if they can learn this, then so can I” and I made the decision to study the program and train to be an instructor.

I started working through the levels program from that conference in Oct 2002 and things between me and my horse changed dramatically. He became confident, responsive rather than reactive, calm, and really started to feel like a partner. As we progressed, things that I never would have believed possible started to become easy and about 2 years after starting the program, I was able to live my dream of galloping along the beach with no bridle or saddle and still be in complete control. This was something I had never believed possible with any horse let alone my crazy Arab.

I passed level 3 of the program in April 2006 and over the next year spent around 6 months at the US Parelli Centres taking part in various University modules including two 3 week colt starts with Pat Parelli and Rob McAuliffe and received 2 stars in instructing and 2 stars in colt starting.

In 2007/08 I spent a year working as part of the Instructor team at the UK Parelli Centre and was lucky to get to work closely with Neil Pye, Susan Shoemark, and Rob McAuliffe during that time.

I received my 3-star Instructor rating in April 2009 and then in 2010 returned to Florida again as a student of Pat’s mastery program, spending time with both Pat and Linda, as well as many other high-level instructors.

In 2015 I received my 4-star Instructor rating and I now teach regular Parelli Courses and Workshops across the country and continue to return to the UK and US Centres both to teach courses and to participate in courses and instructors training days with Linda and Pat Parelli.

When I started riding I knew that there had to be a natural way with horses.

I did not want to consider horses as sports equipment, but as a partner and dealt with a wide variety of horsemanship methods. When I bought my then four-year-old Quarter Horse gelding “Mousey” (BH Dunit Pine) in the summer of 2008, who until then only knew tournament training and his box, I quickly realized that I was not on the right track yet. Mousey showed me clearly that he didn’t want anything to do with me.

At the end of 2008, I finally came across Parelli Natural Horsemanship and was immediately impressed! After the first few hours, I was able to handle Mousey better. Our problems quickly disappeared.

Horses have always been a part of my life. My mother put me on the back of a horse when I was just 18 months old. I was hooked! Since then I have been an avid rider of ponies, horses, and mules. I was confident enough to start my first horse when I was only 16 years old. I managed a lesson program that included teaching both adults and children how to ride for more than 25 years. Additionally, I owned a horse-drawn carriage business that was contracted out for special occasions.

As a motivated person, I was always interested in self-improvement in regards to my horsemanship skills. This is what initially led me to the Parelli program. The first time I observed Pat Parelli perform a demo at the Maryland Horse Expo in 1999, I knew in my heart that I had found my calling. No longer did I need to MAKE a horse do something. Force, fear, and intimidation are no longer supported in my horsemanship journey.

The pathway to becoming an instructor within this program is vigorous. Pat Parelli wants to ensure all its clients that instructors are very well trained and supported, not only for safety reasons; but for meeting all of their horsemanship goals. I present to you my journey and qualifications of the Parelli program.

• • Completed an intense 12-week externship at the Florida Parelli campus. Graduated as a One-Star Junior.

• • Passed all four levels of the Parelli program (Online, Liberty, Freestyle, & Finesse)

• • Traveled to the Parelli Colorado Campus and received an education which allowed me to be awarded a Two Star Junior

• • In 2015, I was invited to participate in a Parelli Colt start course. This course was a month-long, intense, hands-on learning opportunity. I finished within the top three students upon completion of this course.

• • A few months after the conclusion of this course, I was awarded my Third Star.

During my Parelli journey, I had the opportunity to become Carol Coppingers protégé; a Six Star Master Instructor. I personally regard Carol as my mentor. For 15 years, I had the pleasure of learning from her as a student, as well as, assisting her in clinics all over the east coast. Her knowledge and instruction have become engrained in my teaching style.

I possess the knowledge, tools, and capabilities to help you on your journey to becoming the best horseman you can be.

The first time I was introduced to a horse was when I was taken to a horse riding school with my brother at the age of eight. The horse I was introduced to, stood on my foot and my brother’s horse bucked him off. This should have been a nightmare experience but, after the initial shock and pain went away, I had the best day ever. This was the start of a life-long affinity with horses.

My teenage years were spent riding young polo ponies and hunters for a local yard.

Galloping through the forests, playing hide and go seek, and rounding up cattle in the Dublin mountains are some of my fondest memories from this time.

Having been lucky enough to build our own stables and yard we decided to get our own horses for leisure and competitive riding. It was not until we met Piper, an ex-racehorse that had a propensity to rear up and flip over, that I discovered how little I knew about horse behavior. The advice from people was to hit the horse any time he lifted his feet and or mechanical tie-downs. I was not willing to do either so I give him back to his original home.

I began my search again for a horse to hunt and came across my 4 yr old mare Millie, who I quickly realized was another challenging horse that had a propensity to buck.

Looking for a lasting solution to deal with this horse, I watched a demo of Pat Parelli at a UK Celebration dealing with a young horse that appeared to be very difficult to handle. Everything he said made so much sense to me I had to find out more.

Through the levels program I have revealed the true horse and what was once a challenging horse is now my perfect partner.

Having traveled to the UK and USA and studied with some of the best Parelli professionals including Pat and Linda I have found a real passion for horse development, foundation training, and teaching.

Having spent five years of my military career as a teacher and instructor in the Military College I have gathered the skills to impart the knowledge I have gained through my Journey. As a Parelli Professional, I am looking forward to inspiring, empowering, and educating through Natural Horsemanship.

Some of my earliest memories are centered on horses. From a very early age, I was hooked but it was not until nearly 10 that I badgered my parents to let me have my first pony. Bubbles was a tiny black and white Shetland pony who I rode bareback everywhere and the faster the better. I have never forgotten that connection.

After college and kids, I found the urge to get back into horses again. This time around I thought I would do the sensible thing and take some lessons yet I was never happy that I was learning anything. I became engrossed with dressage but failed to understand how I was causing anything to happen. It was also around this time that I learned I did not bounce anymore as I used to and my confidence took a substantial knock after a horrendous fall.

Burying all my intuition and worries I went ahead and took in an ex-racer who started me on my road to a more natural approach…I just did not know it then. Although I got on well with Piper it was not long until I got scared of him and no longer wanted to ride him.

After a break to extend our family I decided I needed to get another horse. This is when I met Ranger. My heart went out to Ranger when I saw him. He looked very quiet and I thought he would be the perfect horse for me. I soon learned otherwise.

It was not very long when some of the same problems reared their head with Ranger. I was starting to find more and more excuses to have someone else ride him and when I did I felt out of control. I also got very frustrated and mad a lot.

Ranger sprained his check ligament out hunting but finished the 3-hour hunt by cantering into the village head in the air on pure adrenaline. While on box rest I saw the footage of the UK Celebration. I was blown away. The Right Brain Extrovert was exactly like Ranger. I was on the phone to the Parelli office the next working day. I knew there and then this was the way forward and the only way I would stay in horses

Before Ranger retired in October 2010 we had excelled in all four Savvies to where we were studying Level 5. I finally felt like I was learning the trade and not just the tricks of the trade.

In June 2011 I inherited Angel from a student of mine. Angel was an extremely difficult horse when I first met her but through the program, she has made huge changes. She is now my dream partner and we started competing in January 2014 in Dressage.

My Journey with Ranger and Angel has inspired me to become a Parelli Professional. I feel I have much to share from my experiences in the program. I look forward to inspiring, empowering, and educating through Natural Horsemanship.

My biggest inspiration has always been Carol Coppinger. She encouraged and shaped my horsemanship journey and always reminded me to put the integrity of the horse first.

Because of Carol, becoming a Parelli Professional was an obvious step. Her passion for seeing students grow and understand was captivating. Each day she showed me how everything means something, that it’s the little things that matter the most with horses and students. (Like shining your boots, feeling the feeling of pleased, or making donuts!) That level of dedication and Professional excellence is something I strive towards every day. Forward is the key!

When I was 7, I went horseback riding with my big sister. My grandfather Albert de Winne, who started out as a simple butcher in Antwerp, was the person who stopped live transport of slaughter horses from the UK and Ireland to the continent: a milestone in the awareness of respect for and welfare of these noble creatures. Never ever had I imagined that 20 years later I would be responsible for multiple horses, let alone helping to change the world for them. In 1996 my girlfriend Kristien – now my wife and mother of our son – bought a book “Natural Horse-Man-Ship” by Pat Parelli. Two years in a row (’98 and ’99) we met Pat during Savvy Days in Belgium. After my first mare past away I started our 2yo Belgian Draft horse filly, who grew up to become 1000kg 100% Parelli horse. A year later I started Pebbles, my cremello horse. In 2005 Pebbles and I went to our first 3-day clinic ever by Ray Hunt. Two months later we won the very first Benelux Parelli Tournament organized by Berni Zambail and Eddy Modde.

Since 2003 Kristien and I have been organizing numerous courses and Parelli related events with some of the best Parelli Instructors. Fall 2006 I finally was able to spend 6 weeks at the Parelli International Study Center in Pagosa Springs Colorado, where I got to follow the complete course cycle (courses 1,2 and 3) at once. I truly am blessed to have been able to work full time for six weeks with nothing but horses and like-minded students, on self-development and horsemanship in the most progressive program on earth against the setting of the Rocky Mountains. It really has been a dream come true.

My red dun AQH mare KC Talk Listo, became my main Parelli travel companion since 2007. My 2010 palomino gelding Myrrh is catching up quickly in becoming my 5th L4 horse. My 2016 AQH mare “Let’s Talk Savvy” is being started under saddle the special year 2020.

LICENSED PARELLI PROFESSIONAL. In August 2009 I was invited to return to Pagosa Springs for the first Instructor Course. Intensive training by mainly Pat himself with Linda’s support has been a tremendous privilege and has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that these wonderful people are the real thing. They truly live for their mission: make the world a better place for horses and people and to raise horsemanship standards worldwide. Based on putting the relationship first, proficiency in the 4 savvies (on-line, liberty, freestyle and finesse) and never-ending self-improvement, this mission will succeed. As a Licensed Parelli Professional, I can now fully contribute to this cause.

In 2014 I was also fortunate to participate in the Colt Start clinic at the Circle Bar Ranch in Texas, allegedly the last one that Pat would teach himself. And what a treat this was, starting 85 fillies and colts aging between 1 and 4 mostly wild ranch raised horses in 3 weeks under Pat’s supervision and directions. We also enjoyed the knowledgeable assistance from Maurice Thibault, John Baar, and Ryan Rose, who will be leading these types of courses in the future, starting in 2015.

Looking forward to seeing you soon, Nic.

Als 7 jarig jongetje ging ik voor’t eerst met men grote zus paardrijden. Mijn grootvader Albert de Winne, begonnen als eenvoudige beenhouwer in Antwerpen, is de persoon die op vraag van de Engelse dierenbescherming, de levende trafiek van slachtpaarden van de Britse eilanden naar het vaste land stopzette: een mijlpaal in de verbetering van het welzijn en respect voor deze edele dieren. Nooit had ik gedacht 20 jaar later zelf voor meerdere paarden verantwoordelijk te zijn, laat staan mee te helpen omde wereld voor paarden te verbeteren. In 1996 kwam ik dankzij mijn vriendin Kristien – nu echtgenote – via het boek Natural Horse-Man-Ship bij Parelli, die we eerst in levende lijve mochten ontmoeten in 1998 en in 1999. Na het heengaan van mijn eertse merrie, startte ik Lotje, toen een 2 jaar veulen en ondertussen uitgegroeid tot 1000kg Parelli trekpaard. Een jaar later startte ik met Pebbles mijn Cremello Levels paard, waarmee ik in 2005 het eerste Benelux Parelli Tourament won. Met haar mocht ik in een 3 daagse clinic met Ray Hunt deelnemen. KC Talk Listo, mijn Red Dun AQH merrie is nu sinds 2006 mijn reisgezel.

Fast Forward naar het najaar van 2006. Eindelijk trek ik voor 6 weken naar het Parelli International Study Center in Pagosa Springs Colorado, om er de volledige lessencyclus (courses 1, 2 en 3) in een keer te doorlopen. 6 weken met gelijkgestemden enkel met horsemanship bezig zijn en dat in het beste en meest progressieve programma ter wereld is niet voor iedereen weggelegd en ik acht me dan ook gelukkig dat ik die droom al heb kunnen en mogen waarmaken.

Ondertussen organiseerden Kristien en ik van 2003 tot op heden talloze cursussen en Parelli gerelateerde events.

LICENSED PARELLI PROFESSIONAL In augustus 2009 werd ik door Pat uitgenodigd om te terugkeren naar Pagosa Springs voor de allereerste Instructor Course. 6 dagen intensieve opleiding gegeven door voornamelijk Pat Parelli zelf, met hulp en steun van Linda, is een ontzettend privilege en heeft nog eens onderlijnd dat deze gedreven mensen echt alleen voor hun missie leven: wereldwijd het niveau van paardenmensen op te krikken en een revolutie in de paardenindustrie te ontketenen. Gebaseerd op de relatie als eerste prioriteit, grondige kennis en vaardigheden in 4 domeinen (4 savvys: on-line, liberty, free style en finesse) en voortdurende zelfontwikkeling zullen we de wereld voor paard en mens verbeteren. Nu kan ik als Licensed Parelli Professional hiertoe mijn bijdrage ten volle leveren.

Check de websites www.pnh.be of www.parelliNH.be voor de events en cursussen die we organiseren in de Belux, of mail me op nic@pnh.be voor verdere informatie.
Hopelijk tot binnenkort, Nic

Mijn visie,

In de omgang en training van paarden, vind ik een aantal waarden erg van belang.
Mijn kernwoorden hiervoor zijn; verbondenheid, respect, impuls, buiging.
Ik zal uitleggen wat ik bedoel.

Als je een huis wilt bouwen heb je een goede fundering nodig, anders zal vroeg of laat je bouwwerk instorten.
Ook bij paarden is dit zo. Zonder de juiste basis, is het bereiken van je doel een stuk moeilijker.
De goede basis en opbouw van wederzijds verlangen naar mentale, emotionele en fysieke ontwikkeling.
Dit betekent dat jouw vertrouwensband en goede communicatie je gaan leiden naar je einddoel.

Communicatie is je sleutel tot succes.

Tijdens mijn lessen en workshops, leer ik je:
* Op een natuurlijke manier te communiceren met je paard, want als je het abc van de paardentaal leert begrijpen, vorm je gemakkelijker een harmonieuze combinatie van freestyle tot sport.
* De juiste basis te leggen met een positieve en progressieve methodiek.

My husband, Jason, and I live in Gravette, Arkansas with our kids, horses, and dogs! We are currently in the process of building an indoor arena so I can give clinics and lessons here at our place. We have 88 acres of pasture, wooded valley, and natural springs! In the meantime, I give clinics in Prairie Grove and am willing to travel anywhere for a clinic or lesson. I would be honored to help you with your Horsemanship journey!

I was born and raised in Bentonville, Arkansas, and have had horses all my life. I first saw Pat Parelli in 2001 and decided then and there that I was going to be a Parelli Instructor.

I graduated from the University of Arkansas in May of 2003 with a Bachelors’s degree in Animal Science, and by October 2003 I was in Ocala, Florida attending the 10-week school module. From there I attended another 10-week school module in Pagosa Springs, Colorado then began my professional journey in the Parelli University back in Ocala.

After completing my first 10-week University module I was invited into the 2-year program where I studied directly under Pat Parelli, Linda Parelli, Karen Rohlf, and other top Parelli instructors. I have also attended two Colt Starts taught by Pat Parelli and Rob McAuliffe and helped start two draft teams with Steve Bowers at the Parelli Center in Ocala, Florida. I enjoy going back to the Parelli Centers in Florida and Colorado every year for my continuing education.

It’s truly an honor to be listed here among so many of the people that have helped me shape both my horsemanship and my life. I can’t thank them, and Pat and Linda, enough. After countless clinics and courses, I know that my journey will always continue toward being the best that I can be for horses and humans. With Level 4 behind me, my accomplishments seem almost trivial, because there is so much more to learn.

If I can help guide you on this fascinating journey, give me a call. Or just stop in and enjoy the horses, dogs, and cats.

Enjoy the journey!

I have always loved horses! And did everything I could to put them in my life and then keep them there! From mucking stalls to leading trail rides to teaching summer camps and so much more. I was lucky enough to have a Day that let me take my own journey and helped me along the way.

I worked all through high school to pay for my first horse who was the horse that let me know that you can’t make them do what you want to do. After high school, I was able to go to Meredith Manor International Equestrian center for a 2-year program.

I off course loved every minute of it and left with every award I possibly could! I learned so much there and their bases were of Resistance Free Training. So started me on the path of just what it felt when a horse trusted you!

From there I went home and started training and teaching lessons and showing in Dressage and Eventing. All was going great and I was loving life! A couple of years in I started to realize that there was still lots to learn and I just happened to get a horse that for sure didn’t miss a moment of telling me so.

That horse was Akiss! My first Parelli Level’s horse. We ended up holding a Parelli Clinic at the barn I was teaching at and I was able to be in it. It was that 5-day course in March of 2004 that I really saw what I was missing, the true understanding of a relationship: Love, Language, and Leadership.

That was it for me! There was no turning back. Off I went to a 10 week School in May of 2004. From there I was invited to Pat’s University. And from there I was invited to the faculty team. I spend 5 years studying and learning all that I could from Linda and Pat Parelli and all of his top professionals! It was truly an absolutely amazing part of my journey!

I have been home for about 5 years teaching the Parelli Program in New England. And I can’t believe just how much more I have learned. My goal is to help change the world for horses and humans even if it’s just one pair at a time!

I have also been getting back into showing in Dressage and plan to also get back into showing in eventing to help be the best example of Parelli that I can be. To help people see that if you take the time it takes then your horse WANTS to be with you and WANTS to perform at their best with HEART and DESIRE!

One of my favorite sayings of Pat’s is: “Did your horse have has much fun as you did? If our horses are recreation for us, can we make sure we are recreation for our horse’s.” I test this by seeing if each of my horses still wants to be with at the end of the session when I turn them back out or put them back in their stalls. This is what keeps the relationship 1st!

Relationship first! 4 Savvys! And Never-ending Self-Development!!!
