Parelli Natural Horsemanship (also known as Parelli or PNH) is a program of natural horsemanship, created by Pat Parelli. ==Program== Parelli Natural Horsemanship is a program that uses an approach to communicating with horses based on natural equine behaviors, to achieve trust and respect in the horse/human relationship. PNH methods are similar to the ways that horses act with one another within a herd. PNH allows for thresholds, boundaries and fears for both horse and human, and encourages issues to be worked through, using mutual communication, leadership and love. Key components in this are attitude, knowledge, tools, techniques, time and imagination. In the program, it is recognized that both the horse and human have responsibilities in the partnership. One aim of the program is to preserve the dignity of the horse by continuously watching for subtle cues in the horses posture, movements and facial expressions. Building on the idea of horse personalities, it encourages riders to take the horse's individual characteristics into account. The program teaches people to interact with horses through communication consisting of the seven types of interactions that horses have with one another. These are referred to as the "7 games". Pat and Linda Parelli developed a home-study program that defines various skills: on the ground On Line, at Liberty, Freestyle, riding with little or no contact to the horse's head or mouth, and Finesse, riding with close head/mouth contact. These four areas of horsemanship are known as "The Four Savvys" within the program.〔()〕 Several noted members of the mainstream equine industry, such as Craig Johnson (reining),〔(The Parelli Experience )〕 Leon Harrel (cutting),〔(Naturally Parelli )〕 Walter Zettl (dressage), Louis Lucio (dressage), Luca Moneta (Jumping),〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAg8ogVOED8〕 Julie Krone (jockey hall of fame) Lauren Barwick (olympic gold and silver medalist) , Karen and David O'Connor (gold medalist) (eventing, dressage),〔 have utilized similar methods in their own horsemanship and said assorted positive things about Parelli's methods. Dr. Robert M. Miller, a veterinarian, speaker and author, has been a supporter of Pat Parelli for decades.〔Robert M. Miller, Natural Horsemanship Explained: From Heart to Hands ISBN 978-1-59921-234-0〕 The program uses a concept, marketed as ''Horsenality''〔(Parelli Horsenality )〕 to assist students in "reading" their horses during working sessions. A trait identification system (both positive and negative traits or behaviors) and index provides a picture of the characteristics of the horse and provides related strategies for managing behaviors and strategies for achieving success. The system borrows from parallel concepts in human psychology derived from Analytical psychology, Personality psychology, the concepts of Four Temperaments, and the more modern Keirsey Temperament Sorter. No independent clinical studies verify or disprove this theory as applied to horses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Parelli Natural Horsemanship」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
