"Wonderful guides... Breathtaking setting"
“Wonderful guides (and amazing with the kids) in a breathtaking setting. Love that the new owner is an expert in natural horsemanship and they do not use metal bits with their horses.”
Emily Cunha
Trail Riding with Confidence Course with Neil Pye
Level 1/2, offical or self assessed
5 Days
$2150 pp
Parelli Natural Horsemanship is known for building safety and respect between horses and their humans through love, language and leadership.
Immerse yourself for 5 whole days, with like-minded people and your horse, delve deep into the study of horse behavior and how horse's think, act and play! Whilst at the same time learning so much more about your own habits, skills and behaviors!
Located in the stunning Dart Valley, this clinic will not only blow you away with world class instruction, but also with breath taking views and riding terrain.
Guaranteed to change how you and your horse connect and interact, nothing can replace this time and consistency without the distractions of everyday life and the responsibilities and roles your normally need to fulfill.
Develop a strong foundation and event stronger connection with your horse. Online, Liberty, Freestyle, maybe even some bareback, while Finesse is being peppered in along the way.
Neil Pye will set you up to achieve your HORSEMANSHIP goals and dreams.
