Note for newcomers to Parelli November 16, 2008
This is a great book, with great explanations and detailed (although dated, and b&w) photos. Some very inspirational photos of bareback/bridleless riding are there, and details of your first and most important steps to get to the goal of perfect communication. He uses horse language, habit and psychology to allow a human to ensure better communication, and how to be a hose's leader. He even has the old level 1 self - test in the back. He teaches other very important skills to have around horses, especially safety issues. (Of course the most important skill is self confidence without ego, which can not be taught) I like the way he presents the material - a bit of comedy to lighten the mood, while still making a point. Even my not so horsey boyfriend enjoys reading excerpts.
However if you want to follow Parelli, he has formed a new "Pattern" system which, although has less guidance, does allow you to progress beyond level 1 in one skill set (on-line, liberty, freestyle, finesse) even if you can't go forward in another skill set. (for example, not being able to ride your Mini used to work against you - Now you progress fully in the non riding disciplines of on-line and liberty.) I still use this book even following the "patterns" for better explanations on certain tasks.
 Very useful training tool. October 24, 2008
This is a very good book for the novice or beginner wanting to learn more about how a horse learns and how they can help them learn.
If you like parelli, you'll love this!!! August 8, 2008
I am finding this book very helpful. I love to learn new things about horses, and dealing with them, and anything that will help improve my relationship. And this book is giving me something new an positive on every page. Even after my 14 years of dealing with them!!!
 not a helpful book June 20, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I did not find this book helpful at all. Mr.Parelli is all over the place with his writing. There are no real instructions on how to train, just his philosophy. I did not find the book useful, it will be the first book to go in my garage sale pile. He's very "showy".
Love, language, leadership = bond June 7, 2008
This book, along with the entire Parelli Levels DVD home-study, Savvy Club collateral, Liberty & Horse Behavior DVD Set, and the Success Series DVD, teach the philosophy of thinking like the horse, caring for your horse with leadership and love, and always keeping it natural.
Parelli, a prominant leader in Natural Horse-Man-Ship, horse psychology and behavior, teaches us how to understand how horses think and learn. It's nothing short of amazing.
Once you read this book, you'll want to learn more, and Pat & Linda Parelli provide many valuable resources to support you on your journey with your horse. Together they teach the 8 Principles of Natural Horsemanship, stressing that preparation, patience, love, language and leadership are all important keys to learning how to read, motivate and build trust with your horse - and most importantly, build and grow a bond with your equine partner.
Parelli teaches that since 99% of problems with horses are 'problem people' not 'problem horses' his book and their entire study program, is really a people-training guide. The Parelii's step-by-step program is easy to follow and will take you from "green" to savvy, helping you discover your potential, reveal your horse and treat your horse with dignity, compassion and understanding.
I've been on the Parelli Journey for nearly two years now, starting from "scratch" and knowing only that my love for my horse was the engine that would motivate me. I had no idea what I was getting into, but when I was introduced to the Parelli's Natural Horsemanship study, I was guided in a profound, logical, confident way - it was as if Pat and Linda were right there with me. Start with this book, open your mind and heart to new challenges with your horse, and you will discover a journey that fuels your equinne passion with knowledge, principles, communication, leadership, and a bond of trust and love. Thank you Pat and Linda.
