Right
at the beginning of his Natural Horsemanship book, Pat Parelli introduces his Level
1 theory by outlining the six keys to success.
They are: Attitude, Knowledge, Tools, Techniques, Time and Imagination. Since
the original publication of the book years ago, a seventh key has been added: Support.
In my
earlier posts, we focused on the first three keys: Attitude, Knowledge
and Tools. In this
post, I will introduce the fourth key to success, Techniques.
Key 4: Techniques
Demonstrating Freestyle riding technique with my young horse
There are thousands of techniques that work to achieve
results with horses. As one of my
Dressage mentors likes to point out, ‘there is more than one way to get to Toronto!’. However, techniques
will readily become mechanical or forceful when they are used without an
understanding of the psychology behind them. Learning to think like a horse helps
us find the right way to communicate and to be effective without using force or
intimidation. Anyone can MAKE a horse do
something, but who do you have to become to cause a horse to WANT to do
something?
Regardless of the technique we choose to use, it must
first and foremost be used with the right attitude, with a mindset to help the
horse and not do it to the horse; it is our responsibility to ensure our communication
is clear and understandable for the horse. We all know that horse training can
be forceful and cruel. But without
resorting to crude violence, making a horse do something without his enthusiastic
participation and when he is not mentally engaged in the game results in horses
that resist, shut down, get confused and scared and are generally unaccepting
of human leadership.We like to teach techniques
that promote a mutual communication with horses. Therefore, every technique
must have the following ingredients: the right attitude, focus, feel, timing
and balance. They are not forceful. They allow the horse to think, seek the
answer and choose his response.
Quality of feel is almost impossible to learn through
traditional methods. However, a good program will cause this quality to evolve
in you naturally. That is what we strive to teach through the Parelli 7 GamesTM, which are
modelled on the games horses naturally play with each other.Some of the key techniques that we consider
at the foundation of the Parelli program are the use of rhythmic motion,
approach and retreat, steady and rhythmic pressure, comfort, discomfort, progressive
phases, and releasing at the right time to help the horse learn how to respond
appropriately to appropriately applied pressure, which in turn creates
lightness.
In short, our students are learning to think, feel, act and play like a horse!
We would
love to hear your comments or questions.If you enjoyed this post, please don’t hesitate to share with your
friends.Until
next time, keep it natural!
We want the horse to be mentally engaged and enthusiastic about the game!

Right at the beginning of his Natural Horsemanship book, Pat Parelli introduces his Level 1 theory by outlining the six keys to success.

In my earlier posts, we focused on the first two keys: Attitude and Knowledge. In this post, I will introduce the third key to success, Tools.
The Parelli natural hackamore with reins and lead rope attached. Soft, kind, comfortable and effective. My favourite tool for trail riding!
I am not manually inclined… my gifts came in a
different form. However, as a
horsewoman, I had to develop a good level of manual dexterity in order to be
effective in my trade, and that came through motivation, hard work and lots of
practice.
I discovered earlier on that having the right tool for
the job made a massive difference in my ability. I am not very good at driving nails into a
piece of wood, but I can get it done if I have a good hammer. I might be able to do it using something
else, like a screwdriver; however, it will probably take a very long time, I
will most likely injure myself in the process, I will waste quite a few nails
and when I do manage to put one in the piece of wood, the likelihood of having
a crooked and wobbly nail is pretty high.
Believe me when I say I speak from experience!
I have been trimming my own horses for over 10 years. When I first learned how to trim, after
spending good money on my training and knowledge, I initially resisted
investing the money into a quality set of tools. I got the cheapest rasps and knives I could
find. Well, that got old quick. Those cheap tools were cumbersome to use, I
ended up injuring myself with a blunt knife and the results on my horses’ feet
were less than stellar – as I cursed and sweated throughout the process, working
way too hard to get a good cut or rasp those hard feet. Having already committed to the first two keys to success, a good attitude
(willingness and desire to learn) and the knowledge (clinics, training,
reading, studying barefoot trimming and hoof anatomy), I finally bit the bullet
and decided to get proper tools to do it right.
I did some research and bought the best rasps, knives and nippers on the
market, and I never looked back.
When it comes to natural horsemanship, the same thing
applies. When I first decided to learn
Parelli, I was not quite ready to give up my traditional tools to purchase the
recommended equipment – after all, I had several trunks filled with all sorts
of halters, leads, lunge lines, saddlery, bits and other gadgets. I went with the minimum and bought lower quality
copies and makeshift items -- only to find out in the long run that I was
impeding my own learning and confusing my horses with unclear and muddled
communication. Once I finally got the
right tools for the job, I removed one of the key obstacles to my progress and actually
ended up giving up and selling many of my old traditional tools. As a matter of fact, I still own my very
first Parelli halter, 12 foot rope and carrot stick, purchased in 1999, and I
still use them every day!
This is the guideline we use when it comes to
tools: keep it simple, kind and
effective. If you want to learn natural
horsemanship, you only really need a few good tools, but you have to be very
particular about their quality and function. This is why Pat Parelli ended up making his
own tools. They were designed because no
one else was making the type of equipment that helped establish a good communication
between horse and rider. When you have enough savvy, you only require few tools
to be effective with horses, but you become increasingly demanding about the
tools you use. I use professional grade tools that are built to last a very
long time. They work for people and for horses and vastly improve the quality,
effectiveness and sensitivity of the communication.
By the way, don’t forget that your saddle is also an
essential part of your horse toolkit. A
bad saddle can greatly affect your horse’s movement, stride and attitude, and
in the long run, health, because horses that are ridden in tension, pain and
improper posture will develop all kinds of musculoskeletal issues. The wrong saddle will also compromise your
own balance, confidence and comfort.
There are simple and effective ways to test your saddle fit providing
you have enough knowledge and skill, and it does not require very sophisticated
equipment.
This video really shows you how much the horse’s back
moves under the saddle and why you need to find a saddle that will not restrict
all that motion in different directions.

videos on saddle fit on this YouTube
channel.
One of the things I ask my student at the end of every class or lesson is "What have you learned today?" It is a broad open question designed to allow the student to restate some of what they have been experiencing and take it in any direction. The learning often goes outside the boundaries of techniques or even horsemanship, and verbalizing is a great way to keep the new elements in focus. This is one of the ways to reinforce those new neural pathways that have been established in the brain.
I have been fortunate this summer to spend extensive time with two dedicated Parelli students who also happen to also be my hosts here in Ontario while I search for a new place to live and board my horses. We have been taking advantage of my time here to discuss horsemanship and do short but very focussed lessons to help them advance their savvy. The results have been quite dramatic in both the horses and the ability of the humans to establish a stronger connection and relationship with their equine partners.
A great part of what we have been discussing is how to read the horse and the differences between reacting, simply avoiding pressure and responding appropriately to pressure while seeking the answer. There is a huge difference between getting a horse to do something (Make) and causing him to want to do something willingly and with enthusiasm. This is what Parelli is all about, it is way more than just techniques or performing the 7 Games despite the horse. Anyone can do that! But it takes savvy and skill to get the horse to do it with a positive and willing attitude, acting like a partner and not a prisoner.
I would like to share a great example of this type of learning. Here is what Lisa posted on the Parelli Connect member site as a result of our latest sessions:
Derby and Menina have a great connection! Getting the same level of acceptance of the human has not been so easy
I've been looking at my horse Derby in a whole new way since I've discovered that rather than being a left-brain introvert like I've thought all these years, she's actually a right-brain introvert. A sometimes subtle but very important difference. Being the introvert that she is, her "right brain" moments are not dramatic, so I've been misreading them as her being left-brained "stubborn". Now that I'm looking at her and approaching her and relating to her as right-brained, we have a whole new relationship and she looks at me in a whole new way. I've also been doing a lot of thinking about the concept of submit and accept when it comes to working and playing with Derby. Now, she is willingly coming to me in the pasture (from quite a distance), accepting me as a leader, as opposed to submitting to my leadership - BIG difference. During a recent lesson with Geneviève Benoit, 3 Star Parelli Professional, my friend Deb and I were talking about what we wanted to do in the lesson. We were thinking about riding and Genevieve asked how Derby was at accepting the bridle. I was just about to say "great", but then I had second thoughts, using my new perspective. She "submits" to being bridled, but does she accept it, willingly. The answer was, unfortunately, no. So now, before I bridle her to ride again, I've started a whole new program designed to ask her to "accept" the bridle - not just submit to it. I feel like I'm starting a whole new journey with Derby. I'm so excited about this new part of my horsemanship journey. I can't wait to see where this new perspective will take us.
So ask yourself next time you go out to play with your horse: What went well? What have I learned? How could I be different next time? And if you are struggling or feel stuck, please do yourself and your horse a favor and seek some help. Sometimes all it takes is one little push in the right direction to discover a whole new level of understanding and knowledge.

It has been a while since you have heard from me, and that is because I have been caught up in a whirlwind of unexpected events and change since my last newsletter.... Announcing my new certification as an Official Coach for the International Society of Rider Biomechanics! This month, read about all my changes and travels. Check out the upcoming event and this month's Savvy Tip.
Il y a un bon moment que vous n'avez pas eu de nouvelles par courriel, et c'est dû au fait que j'ai été happée ces derniers mois par un tourbillon d'évènements inattendus et de changement...
Ce mois-ci, je relate mes aventures et mes derniers changements. Vous pourrez consulter le calendrier des évèenements à venir et le Conseil Savvy du mois.
A few times a year, I make an incursion into the world of traditional horseback riding to learn from other coaches who are much better at specialization than I am, another way to work on improving my own horsemanship. After years of putting specialization (in my case jumping) aside to focus on my foundation skills through natural horsemanship and having achieved Parelli Level 4, I find myself much better equipped to focus on performance riding. Dressage is one of the disciplines that now fascinates me, partly because of the level of horse-rider harmony necessary to achieve brilliance and to turn into into an expression of dance; partly because of the level of precision and lightness required to do it well; and also because it pushes me to acquire a much deeper understanding of proper horse and rider biomechanics. As a bonus, I get to see some really fancy horses with great breeding, which is always a treat!
A couple of weeks ago, I audited a day of clinic with Hélène Arianoff, a long time student of Nuno Oliveira. The latter is widely acclaimed as a master of modern day classical dressage and horsemanship. Nuno Oliveira chose not to compete and practiced dressage as an art form. He had the reputation of having a phenomenal seat (although you could pick his position apart depending of which school of thought you adhere to); mostly, he had a natural talent for bringing out an extraordinary level of brilliance in the horses he rode in a very short period of time. Any long term student of his would sure possess a lot of knowledge to pass on to the rest of us! Along with picking up many nuggets of savvy dust, as a teacher I am always interested in observing the kinds of things riders and horses are struggling with and how another clinician might go about helping them solve their issues.
For this clinician, as is often the case with other masters I have had the opportunity to study with, most of the lessons consisted in bringing the students back to basics, and improving those basics in order to advance. What we saw were a series of holes in the horses' and riders' foundation that were preventing them from getting the results they were looking for. We all know how tempting it is to want to focus on refinement and specialization... to have a vision of a fancy task or maneuver and to want to have it working here and now... while forgetting there might be a few ingredients that are missing to make it easy for the horse to succeed!
I like to think of it as trying to do calculus when you are still struggling with basic arithmetic and algebra - it can get confusing pretty fast. Think of what it might be like to try to do math with a missing number. For example, can you imagine counting without the number 0? It is possible, but definitely not easy. The number 0 did not always exist, it was actually first invented in India, and initially made scientifically available by the Arabs. It was a breakthrough in the history of mathematics that made adding and subtracting much easier and led to many other scientific advancements. Before the number 'zero', there was an undefined gap for the counting of nothing!
Back to horsemanship: as humans, it is so easy to be direct lined, and by that, don't think I am judging anyone, as I catch myself doing it all the time! As an observer at the Arianoff clinic, I could clearly see where someone might be struggling and be missing a essential piece of the puzzle, and how putting that piece back in the right order was the key to helping them improve. This is something I do with my students all the time, and it may sound repetitive or frustrating at times, but it is an integral part of good horsemanship. You will hear Parelli refer to it as foundation before specialization (see footnote *).
For example, a rider who has not yet acquired an independent seat and the ability to isolate the aids will not be able to communicate clearly an advanced maneuver such as half-pass or even something simple like a canter depart. We saw several examples of riders struggling to let go of the reins or to isolate each leg in order to help their horse find the answer. As a result, the trainer had to spend quite a bit of time helping them learn to soften their hands, use their seat without clenching with the legs, use their legs without clenching on the reins, hold a dressage whip without interfering with the bit, etc. All foundational skills of the rider that need to be in place in order to practice good dressage.
The teacher also had to contend with foundational issues in the horses - horses dull to the aids, leaning on the leg or not wanting to go forward or stop, horses who did not understand the cues and many, many horses who had trouble with contact. She started each session showing the students exercices to improve hindquarter control - a foundation of every natural horsemanship program! We found out most of these beautiful dressage horses could not easily move their hindquarters independently of the rest of their body, and the riders had to work very hard to get there! I have to say I was impressed to see how most of the horses in the clinic were fairly calm... However, few seemed connected... Most of the issues were related to a lack of responsiveness, resulting in the riders having to work very hard (to the point of sweating and getting out of breath) just to get the appropriate amount of response from their horse or to maintain the chosen gait. Before they could ever dream to get that flowing half-pass or sharp flying lead change, they needed to think about how they were using or not using their own bodies, and how prepared their horse was to actually attempt a higher level maneuver. Hélène had them practice many basic exercices - move the hindquarters, move the shoulders, get in a rhythm at the walk, walk a good circle, leg yields, backing up, give and take the reins, transitions, trot and canter departs, gait control, etc. I was struck at how similar it was to what you might see in a Parelli clinic, except the horses and riders happened to be dressed up in very fancy outfits and tack!
Blue Moon - Photo A. Macfhay
This brought me back to my first dressage clinic with my new horse Blue Moon this summer at Eddo Hoekstra's farm. I spent over 2 years developing this horse before testing the quality of our foundation during the three days of the clinic. There was very little sweating, even though it was quite hot outside. She showed that she truly understands the basics: go and whoa, move the various parts of your body in various ways, and respond appropriately to pressure (less than 4 ounces), maintain gait and direction. With those elements in place, it is actually amazing how easy the more advanced exercises become, and I was the first one surprised when Eddo asked us to attempt some rather advanced dressage movements (collected gaits, counter canter, canter departs from the walk and halt, half-pass, half step!); no one was expecting perfection, but we did get positive results. Blue Moon may not have carried the perfect frame all the time, but Eddo never said ANYTHING about her head carriage; we lost forward impulsion at times in some of the exercises; most importantly, she was so calm, connected, and responsive throughout the lessons. The focus was on refining basics building up to more advanced, and never, never drilling in any of the movements. Get a try and move on to something else and if it is not working, try a different approach! It was right in line with what I have learned in Parelli. Blue Moon put her heart into it and always gave it her best shot. We were both smiling at the end of the day!
Knowledge and skills come from a unending process of studying, applying, and experimenting. You can read books and watch videos, and that will feed your mind with knowledge and information. But then, you need to be able to take this information and translate it into practice, and develop skills, which takes time and dedication. For most of us, this can be challenging to do without expert help. As you advance, you may need to get back to more reading and observing to add to the knowledge, and once again, use it until it becomes a part of you. This is a continuous process. Many of the riders at the Arianoff clinic possessed a lot of theoretical knowledge; they just had not yet acquired the ability to translate it to their riding and were thus investing in their learning. They will hopefully be able to carry on by themselves at home and as they make progress, will again look for more information and support to take them to the next level, a never-ending spiral of learning and self-improvement that as horsemen, we all have to learn to love and enjoy.
Below is a clip of Master Nuno Oliveira teaching a horse to move with straightness by doing exactly the opposite of going straight. He is mobilizing the various parts of the horse and doing a lot of lateral work to dissolve any contractions, helping the horse find the right way of moving - causing his idea to become the horse's idea.
* Examples of what would be considered specialization in horses: any equestrian discipline or competitive sport such as dressage, jumping, driving, eventing, cow working, cutting, western pleasure, working equitation, hunter, ski joring. Trail riding and working horses (hauling wood, plowing, transportation, mounted police) are also specialized. Parelli Natural Horsemanship is a foundational program for horses and riders.
