Parelli 1 Star Junior Instructor Charlie Johnson.

A NATURAL APPROACH TO HORSE TRAINING -
If you truly love horses and have an interest in natural horse training, you’ll love the Parelli method of Natural Horsemanship - a holistic approach to natural horse training based on developing a natural relationship with your horse through understanding his/her nature and understanding the world from the horse's point of view.

Based on respect, love, and understanding horse nature and psychology – the Parelli method enables anyone at any level to have fun with horses and achieve amazing results...naturally. Parelli horse training avoids using force, fear, harsh bits or mechanical training aids in favor of love, language and leadership or, said another way: relationship, communication and trustworthiness.
The Parelli method allows horse lovers at all levels and disciplines to achieve success without force, partnership without dominance, teamwork without fear, willingness without intimidation, and harmony without coercion.
I can help you establish a good relationship with our horse before getting on his back. Let me help you with your Relationship, Understanding, Communication and Trust with your horse.

The Parelli Professionals Promise guides all that we do.
 I Promise to put our relationship first and help you put the relationship with your horse first.
 I Promise to help you become well rounded in your savvy and help to prepare you for success, to read your horse and understand his Horsenality.
 I Promise to inspire and support your quest for never ending self-improvement.... See More

I offer instruction in classical dressage-based horsemanship for any level of rider. My methods are based on 'Old World' military horsemanship that takes the techniques of training horses for jousting, mounted archery, mounted combat, etc. and adapts them to practical horsemanship. These methods are rooted in centuries of study in the nature and biomechanical interplay between horse and rider, handed down from master to student, throughout most of recorded history. No force or coercion is used in this style of training, but rather the goal is trust and forming a partnership, conditioning and making the horse supple, with the goal of improving their ability to carry the rider, athletically, for many happy years. If this sounds like the better aspects of what is now called "Natural Horsemanship, well the classical masters had a name for it, they called it "Horsemanship". :)

If this style of horsemanship sounds like something you would be interested in learning more about, I invite you to come out, meet me and my lesson horses, and let's discuss your horsemanship goals and how I might help you achieve them. Feel free to contact me at with any questions you might have.... See More
