Natural Horsemanship
 

 

 


The goal of Natural Horsemanship is to create a relationship between horse and human that allows a very high level of communication and co-operation. It is a way of interacting with your horse using the horse’s methods of thinking and communication. There should be a working partnership between people and horses.

Concentrated ground work is used to establish a leader-follower relationship with the horse that can then be continued in ridden work. Natural Horsemanship refers to a philosophy of horse training that attempts to utilise more horse friendly methods than some of the 'traditional' training. 

The term itself was created by Pat Parelli, although the methods have been in use for much longer. Other american horsemen with this philosophy are Tom Dorrance, Ray Hunt or Monty Roberts.
