Who invented the Levels Program?
Pat Parelli, one of the most dynamic, imaginative, progressive horsemen and teachers of our time. In teaching people to become horsemen, he realised that most people got stuck in ruts, were fed information around horses but not truly about horses, often experienced behavioural problems with their horses, and unless they were specifically involved in competitive sport with their horse, had no gaols. They didn’t know what they really wanted to do with their horse or themselves and therefore they gradually lost interest and their horse spent more and more time as a pasture ornament.
Pat Parelli created the Levels Program. It’s a systematic developmental program for horse and human.
It rekindles the relationship between horses and people, gets you interested in playing with you horse again.
Pat realised he had to come up with a program that was motivating, delivered results early, was fun, challenging and interesting. It had to prepare the student for what ever goal they ultimately wanted(competitive or not) but without sacrificing the principles so important for the horse. It also had to be systematic, developing both horse and human a step at a time, building success upon success and imparting knowledge and skills that were deep and lasting so the student developed savvy. Savvy is understanding times ten.
Parelli program teaches you how to reach your goals without sacrificing the principles important to maintaining the heart and desire of the horse.
Since the inception of the Parelli Levels Program, students of Parelli Natural Horsemanship have made progress at lightning speed. What normally take people fifteen to twenty years takes as little as three to five. The program has students who have been in the program no more than a few years, that look like they’ve been around horses all their lives and even have professional trainers send them their difficult horses to “sort out”. Even those who’ve spent only a year in the program are light years ahead of their peers because of how well they’ve learnt to truly understand horses.
Accelerated development is the benchmark of the program. Pat’s students make incredible progress in a short time.
