We're very excited to announce the release of the Liberty & Horse Behaviour, Home Study Program.
The Parelli Program has always delivered far more than most people expect…because it delivers the unexpected. Frustrated and fearful horse lovers have come to Parelli as a last resort. They’ve ‘done everything’ to make it work but they refused to give up because in their hearts they believed there was something more. But there was always something they could not access because they were always focused on technique, on training the horse…which always meant they were BLAMING the horse.
You can’t make the horse-lover wrong…because there was never enough information available in order for them to be able to do more than they could. Before now, no one could verbalize it. But Parelli has.
Parelli has unlocked the key to getting horses and people to truly bond, to truly trust. We show horse lovers how to get their horse to WANT to show up and to give more than they’ve ever experienced.
Being able to read horses is one of the greatest skills a horseman can have. It tells you what approach you need to take and helps you resolve problems quickly, and not to mention gives you the keys for bonding and higher levels of communication.
This program delves deep into the equine mind and teaches you to understand how to interact with horses more effectively. You’ll learn how to act more like the lead horse, knowing the keys to establishing confidence and responsiveness and inviting playfulness. Are you truly ready to totally transform your relationship with horses? This program will take you there. Let the journey begin!
This revolutionary information was first launched at US Parelli Centres last Autumn with amazing results. Now, Parelli have packaged this information for the home study student. Priced at a fraction of the cost of attending the Course in the US!
Liberty & Horse Behaviour gives you the opportunity to experience this knowledge in the comfort of your own home at your own pace or as a wonderful reference tool if you have attended the Course. The Liberty & Horse Behaviour program includes over 19 hours of education, led by Linda and Pat Parelli, including presentations never seen before, except by Pat's top instructors and inner circle.
Begin your journey through the equine mind with Linda and Pat Parelli. Pat begins by addressing the most important message at the heart of this program, "Every prey animal is born with an innate fear of predators."
Pat then talks about the four main influences that make up a horse's horsenality: Innate Characteristics, Learned Behaviour, Environment and Spirit. Apply this knowledge with Pat and Linda as they demonstrate with four very different horsenalities.
Disc 1 concludes with a workshop where Linda suggests a different approach for revealing your horse's horsenality.
Linda Parelli begins Disc 2 with in-depth information to help you learn to read your horse and bring him into his ideal learning zone. Then watch simulations that will teach you what it takes to deal with Right Brain Inrovert-Catotonic and Right Brain Extrovert behaviours in horses.
Linda uses her horses, Allure and Remmer, to demonstrate reading horses' body language. With Remmer she shows what it takes to ensure a productive, playful learning session; and with Allure she addresses his confidence as a learner and creates curiosity.
"I've started DVD 2 of the new Liberty & Horse Behaviour self study program and already wanted to send a horse-size THANK YOU for putting it together! And my horses thank you too.
"I have two completely different horses—one confident and the other who can be pushy except when he is learning or when he is in a new environment. Then he becomes very unconfident! He, in particular, thanks you!! I've already learned a lot about what I was misreading and what I was doing wrong! It's going to take some time for me to be consistent with reading his situation, but the DVD content helps a lot—seeing the demos, along with the real-time explanations is very useful".—Ilona, Level 1 graduate
Disc 2 concludes with a workshop where you get to experiment with your new savvy in reading the horse.
Linda Parelli begins Disc 3 by reviewing the "Reading Your Horse" workshop from Disc 2 and discusses tactics for dealing with "the horse that shows up." You're then encouraged to play the "Communication Game" with your new knowledge of reading the horse. What worked? What didn't work? What did you observe? How would you do it differently next time?
Pat then joins us and talks about how to take care of a horse's confidence through their Hierarchy of Needs: Safety, Comfort, Play and Food. He also demonstrates the difference in how prey animals and predators learn by playing with his stallion Casper, Linda's Trakehner Warmblood gelding, Allure, and his stock dogs in a round corral. In the same chapter, Linda demonstrates how food influences her Dutch Warmblood Remmer's expressions during a learning session.
Disc 3 concludes with a Confidence Workshop. Your goal is for your horse to have confidence and trust in you as a leader rather than over focusing on accomplishing the task you planned.
Featured Disc: Part I, DVD 4
Disc
4 begins with Linda Parelli reviewing the "Confidence" workshop from
Disc 3 and provides definitions for the Hierarchy of Needs.
- Safety = Confidence + Leadership
- Comfort = Release
- Play = Fun + Creativity
- Food = Incentive
Then Linda plays with a 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' horsenality which demonstrates how to use obstacles for leadership and introduces the 'get off it' lesson.
Watch as the class plays with Conga Horse simulations using longer lines and obstacles. After the session they discuss and analyze how they'll be different for their horse next time: 'I don't have to go to Phase 4 so quickly. I will watch my face, use more approach and retreat, be more intense, clear and have a plan.'
Disc 4 concludes with a workshop. Choose three different obstacles and play the Seven Games with your horse using each obstacle. Remember, the goal is Confidence for your horse and in your leadership. It's not about the obstacle.
Featured
Disc: Part I, DVD 5
Disc 5 is comprised of two chapters: "It's Not About the Trailer…" and "It Wasn't About the Trailer…" The first chapter is a trailer loading demonstration with Linda and a student's horse that is nearly three hours long. This demo will definitely test your patience but in the best place it should be tested—in the comfort of your living room.
Then in the second chapter Linda takes a few minutes to discuss how this demo applies to the home study student.
Disc 6 wraps up Part I of Liberty & Horse Behaviour. Linda reports on what happened when she misread a demo horse at a tour event and debriefs on the trailer loading session from Disc 5. Pat then gives a more advanced trailer loading session, and we move on into Part II, The Games.
