What Is PNH?

PNH is an acronym for Parelli Natural Horsemanship.  PNH was created by a master horseman, Mr. Pat Parelli.  

Pat Parelli is internationally renowned as one of the world's most provocative, most talked about, most respected  teachers of Natural Horsemanship.  His teaching style is magnetic, motivational and effective.  In fact, his teachings are in such demand that he has groomed instructors to teach his entry level clinics while he concentrates on his advancing students.  Like Pat, his instructors are booked for clinics all year long.

Twenty-five years ago Pat turned his focus from training horses to teaching people and has put a great deal of study into the development of his programs.  Human nature has it that we all want to start at the top - to spin... to slide... to jump... do lead changes... to ride with collection - the 'basics' are boring!

What you will learn through Parelli Natural Horsemanship are not the usual basics, they are some of the most advanced concepts in horse psychology and behavior, and some of the most advanced techniques in working with horses both on the ground and on their backs.  Parelli students achieve in just a few weeks what evades most people in a lifetime!

Pat teaches you to be savvy in the four essential areas of becoming a Horseman:  On Line, At Liberty, riding Freestyle and with Finesse.

From just learning to be safer and have more fun with horses to achieving professional and competitive goals, the Parelli Natural Horsemanship Programs are like nothing else anywhere in the world.

Students and horses of ALL ages and disciplines can benefit from PNH!
