Parelli Announces End To Horse-Human Confidence Issues

New Level 2 Program Yielding Superior Results

January 2006, COLORADO – After 24 years of research and development studying people and how they communicate with horses, Parelli Natural Horsemanship releases the new evolution of their Level 2 Home Study Program.

With more than 18 hours of DVD tutorials, the new Level 2 guides horse lovers through step-by-step lessons, learning how to “play” with horses in the “Four Savvys of Parelli: On Line, at Liberty, riding Freestyle (no contact) and with Finesse (close contact).”

The program begins with advanced lessons in reading horse behavior. Parelli’s legendary “Seven Games” are taken to the next level, incorporating obstacles, transitions and changes of direction on line, sideways without a fence, and solving vetting and shoeing problems. The “Liberty savvy” is introduced, teaching students how to properly prepare their horse for playing with no strings attached in a round corral.

The riding sections of the new program include innovative information on saddle position, shimming, riding with “Fluidity,” and new “Impulsion” programs. The rider learns how to use the programs to energize the lazy horse and calm the impulsive horse. New rider simulations are introduced to teach correct dynamics for leads and simple lead changes. A new section on trail riding safety addresses key solutions to solving confidence and spooking issues.

The subject of “Finesse” advances the back up, sideways, opening a gate while riding and “bridling with savvy,” a method designed to help horses fall in love with the bit.

The multi-media Level 2 pack includes eight DVDs, three step-by-step teaching booklets, an ‘interactive’ Success Map, and an educational support book, “Move Closer, Stay Longer,” by Dr. Stephanie Burns. Linda Parelli presents DVD lectures and coaching sessions with an introduction and concepts presentation by Pat Parelli. The program retails for $299 and can be purchased by calling 1-800-642-3335 or visiting Parelli’s web shop at www.parelli.com.

Linda and Pat Parelli have presented before Her Majesty the Queen of England and to Olympians and World Champions in the USA and Europe. Top Thoroughbred breeders and trainers in Kentucky seek their consultation. With offices and distributors in several countries, Parelli Natural Horsemanship currently services hundreds of thousands of students worldwide with their progressive home study programs, and is used as the basis of college and federation programs in the UK and France. The Parelli Center in Colorado is the first horsemanship program to be approved by the Colorado Board of Education.
