ABOUT THE HAPPY HORSE PROGRAM
This is the missing link in equine psychology education programs. Created in 2021, following many years of research, experimentation, and handling of the most advanced and extreme horses worldwide, Linda Parelli has completely redesigned and incorporated her latest knowledge to provide professionals with the expertise to understand their horse in every moment spent together. Regardless of your discipline or level of expertise, this new program offers you the keys to understanding your horse's behavior and psychology to solve problems, achieve your goals, and have a partner who is both happy and high-performing. A structured program, rich in detail, giving meaning to every strategy employed, for a much stronger relationship with your horse.
The Happy Horse program is a conversation!
Learn to communicate, and then you will choose which story (namely which discipline - Freedom - Jumping - Dressage - Outdoors - Etc.)
you will want to share with your horse.
A 3-tiered program:
BASIC BEHAVIORS (Connection, Relaxation, Response),
CONVERSATION QUALITY (Confidence, Impulse, Flexibility),
And PERFORMANCE DEVELOPMENT (Harmony, Agility, Purpose, Power).
