Parelli Natural Horse.Man.Ship™

PNH was created by Pat Parelli to teach horses and humans how to experience fun, excellence, truth and results in their partnerships. He uses a "natural", not "normal" approach to developing horse-human relationships. The levels-based program addresses teaching people (Levels 1,2,3) and then horses (Levels 4+).

Southern Savvy Riders

SSR was created by Louisiana Parelli enthusiasts to promote the study of Parelli Natural Horse.Man.Ship. The Yahoo! site provides a venue for sharing ideas, asking questions, promoting local practices, announcing clinics, etc.

Clinics

Maurice originally hails from French-speaking Canada, lived in Louisiana for a while and now resides in California.
