The Introduction To Pat Parelli - A New Look at Same Old Methods.
I dag er det svært mange som trener hest og instruerr i Natural Horemanship relaterte treningsmetoder. Mange av dagens instruktører er unge, så unge at Natural horsemanship-historien nok er lite kjent for dem. Jeg syns derfor det er viktig å formidle at det var Pat Parelli som først kom med denne filosofien - Natural Horse-Man Ship. DVM Robert M. Miller var den som fikk fart på Pat Parellis kariere. Her følger en artikkel i 3 deler fra magasinet Western Horsman. Men først en innledning.
Dr. Robert M. Miller discovered Pat Parelli at Bishop Mule Days when he was not yet 26 years of age. Dr. Miller recalls witnessing a young man loudly explaining to a small group of perhaps a dozen people how he was going to mount a mule colt and ride it for the first time. "This ought to be good" Dr. Miller thought to himself, and stopped to watch the show. A half an hour later he returned to his camper where his wife, Debby Miller was taking a break and told her, "I want you to come see this young guy working with a colt. I have never seen such natural talent in my life."
After Pat's demonstration was over Dr. Miller introduced himself.
"I know who you are." Pat said. "You work for Western Horseman Magazine."
Dr. Miller collected Pat's contact information and on his way home, got an idea. Dr. Miller pitched the idea of an article for Western Horseman Magazine to Pat on his colt starting technique. Pat was delighted. The article turned out to be a series of three in three consecutive issues titled, "A New Look at Same Old Methods." The series launched a demand for Pat's services, and the rest is history.
