Parelli 1 Star Junior Instructor Charlie Johnson.

A NATURAL APPROACH TO HORSE TRAINING -
If you truly love horses and have an interest in natural horse training, you’ll love the Parelli method of Natural Horsemanship - a holistic approach to natural horse training based on developing a natural relationship with your horse through understanding his/her nature and understanding the world from the horse's point of view.

Based on respect, love, and understanding horse nature and psychology – the Parelli method enables anyone at any level to have fun with horses and achieve amazing results...naturally. Parelli horse training avoids using force, fear, harsh bits or mechanical training aids in favor of love, language and leadership or, said another way: relationship, communication and trustworthiness.
The Parelli method allows horse lovers at all levels and disciplines to achieve success without force, partnership without dominance, teamwork without fear, willingness without intimidation, and harmony without coercion.
I can help you establish a good relationship with our horse before getting on his back. Let me help you with your Relationship, Understanding, Communication and Trust with your horse.

The Parelli Professionals Promise guides all that we do.
 I Promise to put our relationship first and help you put the relationship with your horse first.
 I Promise to help you become well rounded in your savvy and help to prepare you for success, to read your horse and understand his Horsenality.
 I Promise to inspire and support your quest for never ending self-improvement.... See More
