Making the World

A better place...

Linda and Pat Parelli have dedicated their lives to changing one horse and one human at a time.

P

arelli. It’s a noun. It’s a verb. It’s a lifestyle. Among the flurry of revived interest in “natural horsemanship” in recent years, the Parelli Program stands alone as the world’s first step-by-step, learn-at-yourown-pace horse/human development program.

In fact, it was Pat and Linda Parelli who coined the phrase “natural horsemanship.”

Of the various natural horsemen and women popular today, Linda and Pat Parelli command the largest number of followers around the globe, impacting hundreds of thousands of horses and horse owners. The Parelli Program allows horse lovers at all levels and disciplines to achieve success without force, partnership without fear and harmony without intimidation.

Founded in 1981 by lifelong horseman and teacher Pat Parelli, the Parelli Program combines common-sense psychology with genuine communication. Unlike many horse training programs, the Parelli method focuses on educating the horse owner instead of “fixing” the horse. Pat’s diverse background as a rodeo bronc rider, horse trainer and “student of the horse,” along with the valuable guidance of several mentors early in his career, helped him realize early on it was the human who needed instruction. When the human learns to see life from the horse’s point of view and build a horse/ human relationship with equal doses of love,

language and leadership, partnership is possible and frustrations and problems melt away. As Pat Parelli says, “There’s nothing you can’t do when your horse becomes a part of you.”

The beauty of the Parelli program is that it enables people to achieve true success with their horsemanship, while still allowing the horse to have the dignity he deserves. A core tenant of Parelli horsemanship is the commitment to putting the relationship between horse and human above any goal – whether the goal be medaling at the Olympics or taking a weekend ride through the fields. Students of Parelli learn to understand the nature of horses first, and to respect every horse as a unique individual with his own needs and talents.

In the 30 years since he first shared his concepts with the public, Pat has been both humbled and elated to see the universal truths of his message evolve and grow into a literal revolution in horsemanship. The Parelli program is truly “non-denominational” and attracts a broad audience from the entire spectrum of equestrian pursuits. Horses are horses, whether their humans use them for international-level competition, work or as casual riding companions. For that reason, the Parelli method works with any horse and, perhaps more importantly, with any human who dares believe there is a better way to communicate with and handle these remarkable animals.

“The spiritual home of the Parelli family will always be here in Pagosa Springs,” noted Mark Weiler, company president. “As part of our mission to raise the level of horsemanship worldwide, we needed an administrative home, in addition to the Parelli Center, where we can continue to service the needs of horse lovers with the most modern technology available.”

Ground was broken for the new Parelli World Center on September of 2006, and construction was completed in the spring of 2008.

“Every horse lover in the world will be welcome at the Parelli World Center,” says Sue Shoemark, vice president. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a world champion or a ‘happy hacker.’

This is a home for horse lovers so that you can be a part of an international team and worldwide community.”

The Best of Both Worlds While Pagosa Springs is the ideal home for Parelli in the summer and fall, Linda, Pat and the rest of the U.S. Parelli Center team make an annual pilgrimage to Ocala, Florida every winter to take advantage of the tropical climate that makes the study of natural horsemanship accessible year-round. This facility, established in 2002, offers an enchanted playground and courses for U.S. and European students to enjoy in the cold months.

Parelli Across the Pond Established in 2007, the UK Parelli Center is our newest facility. One of the aspects that makes Parelli UK unique is the fact that it is part of a shared facility, Stoneleigh Park. Stoneleigh Park is one of the best-known venues in the UK for hosting equestrian events such as the Royal Show, the National Dressage Championships, Trail Blazers and the Festival of the Horse. This allows Parelli students from all over Europe, England and Ireland to utilize a centrally located, convenient and accommodating facility to further their horsemanship.

Parelli Down Under The Australian Parelli Centre, located in Wilton, New South Wales, is just south of Sydney and three hours from Canberra. The Center includes 25 acres to play and practice in—honeycomb, dam, plenty of barrels, jumps, challenges and toys to keep any horse lover occupied for days on end. Courses are offered here in the spring and fall and are taught by our international team of instructors.

TV/Media Filmed and produced by our in-house Media department, Parelli airs on RFD-TV every Wednesday, and on RURAL TV across the UK, Ireland and Europe. Beautiful Pagosa Springs is the perfect backdrop and stage for much of Parelli Media. The world now gets to share the magic and beauty of this special place.

Breaking Barriers Our natural approach to horse training has been embraced worldwide by horsemen and women of all disciplines and skill levels, from complete beginners to international competitors and Olympic medalists. One such gold medalist is 31-year-old Lauren Barwick, Canadian Para-Dressage rider and Parelli student. “Meeting Pat and learning his method transformed me; I became more emotionally and mentally fit,” says Barwick. “I realized there was so much to learn, about myself and my relationship with my horse. When I started studying Parelli, everything just clicked.”

Her Majesty, The Queen In 2003, Pat Parelli was invited to demonstrate for The Queen as part of her birthday celebration. The presentation was to include a variety of people and horses. After the Parelli team was introduced, they began by playing with their own horses. Then, it was time to play with some of The Queen’s troop’s problem horses. A spooky Irish Draft horse—at least 1,400 pounds—was introduced. Pat played the Parelli Seven Games with the horse, and it didn’t take but a few minutes for him to make a change, growing visibly more confident right before the crowd’s eyes. Next, one of Pat’s licensed Parelli Professionals played with a gelding that had a reputation for bucking the Queen’s riders off. Before long, he stood on the horse’s back. The Queen was mesmerized.

After the presentation, Pat and Linda had the opportunity to personally meet The Queen. She told them, “If only I could’ve known this [natural horsemanship] back when I was younger.”

Recent Achievements Pat Parelli has been awarded the honor of ‘Humane Horseman of the Year’ for 2009

by The Humane Society of the United States.

The Parelli Natural Horsemanship TV series is now aired all over the world and has won the prestigious CableFAX Program Award as the Best Educational/Instructional Series on U.S. Cable Television. Also, Pat Parelli also won True West Magazine’s Best of the West Reader’s Choice Award for Best Living Horse Advocate in 2010.

One Center, All rAngers The Former Texas Rangers Foundation Finalizes Plans for the Texas Rangers Heritage Center and Celebrates the 10th Anniversary of the Silver Stars & Six Guns Gala

Much has changed in almost two centuries: transportation evolved from horses to horsepower, the United States grew from colonies to country and small-town “grape vines” transformed into the World Wide Web. Still, while the world constantly changes, some foundations remain—those built on courage, determination, dedication, integrity and respect—those of a Texas Ranger.

Established in 1971, the Former Texas Rangers Foundation (FTRF) has strove to “preserve and perpetuate the true history of the Texas Rangers,” a history as diverse and evolutionary as Texas. Founded in 1823 by Stephen F. Austin, the Texas Rangers began as a small group of men dedicated to ensuring the safety of civilians travelling through the wild Texas lands. Over the years, as the population grew, so did the Rangers; and as the times

18

Volume 57 Texas Farm&Ranch

changed, their responsibilities evolved from “armed escorts” to “noble lawmen” dedicated to preserving the safety of Texas citizens. Throughout their eclectic history, the Texas Rangers have been dedicated sentinels in the war against injustice and crime, a trusted partner with city police and an essential ally of national law enforcement agencies.

Now, with the City of Fredericksburg as a partner, the FTRF

has plans to build the 41,350-square foot Texas Rangers Heritage Center (TRHC) on 7.1 acres fronting U.S. Highway 290 East, just adjacent to the historic Fort Martin Scott site. In addition to a Ranger Ring of Honor, a memorial to Rangers lost in the line of duty, as well as housing historic Ranger artifacts and documents, the TRHC will focus on showcasing the history of the Texas Rangers through the use of immersive and interactive exhibits dubbed “From Horseback to High-tech.”

Throughout the five galleries, visitors will have the opportunity to walk through time and experience the incredible saga of the Texas Rangers as chronicled by the major events in Ranger history.

“Partnering with the City of Fredericksburg to enhance an already historic site with the TRHC is an incredible opportunity,” said Joe Davis, president of the Former Texas Rangers Foundation.

“We appreciate the City’s enthusiasm in helping us bring a first-class educational center to Fredericksburg. Because of their support, the TRHC will soon become a reality for all Texans—and visitors to our state—to enjoy.”

More than just a “walk-through museum,” the TRHC will be truly different from the moment one steps into the entrance:

Legacy Theater. As a Event Information Texas Ranger rides 10th Anniversary toward you from Silver Stars & Six Guns 2010 Gala over the horizon Saturday, October 9, 2010 and dismounts Hangar Hotel Conference Center with a greeting and Fredericksburg, Texas brief history of the 6:00 PM to Midnight Rangers, visitors Tickets: $125 each will sense that (Open to the public) perhaps history is www.FormerTexasRanger s.org not so far removed from the present.

This interactive realism continues through all five galleries: the induction of the first 10 Rangers by Stephen F. Austin, the call of the “Immortal 32” Gonzales Rangers to the Alamo, the conflict at the Battle of Walker Creek that introduced the Paterson Pistol and changed the nature of the war against Native Americans, the capture of the infamous criminal John Wesley Hardin and, in conclusion, the life of modern-day Rangers and their work with the Texas Department of Public Safety.

“The City of Fredericksburg truly understands and appreciates the value of keeping the legacy of the Texas Rangers alive to share with future generations,” said Davis. “We are scheduled to break ground in July 2011 and open doors in December 2012. Our partnership with the city, as well as our annual fund raising has made the TRHC a reality. This is truly a year to celebrate the Foundation’s many achievements.”

For 10 years, the Silver Stars & Six Guns Gala has served as an integral fund-raising event that has transformed ideas like the Texas Rangers Heritage Center from “plans” to “possible.” Every year, hundreds of guests are treated to excellent food, a diverse auction and a wealth of exciting entertainment that celebrates and pays tribute to the Texas Rangers, both past and present. Last year’s gala featured 500 to 600 guests and raised approximately $205,000 for the FTRF.

he 4 Aces Ranch is a beautifully managed, fully operational wildlife preserve on 17,638Âą acres stretching across both Uvalde and Kinney Counties in southwest Texas. It is the single largest, contiguous, live water ranch currently on the market in the Texas Hill Country and is a spectacular opportunity with valuable potential. Seven miles of Live Oak Creek are fully self-contained on the ranch, running north to south through the middle of the property, behind the ranch headquarters. The property is loaded with private water, streams, springs, wells and windmills and is a private game park paradise.

The main residence at the ranch head-quarters is a five-bedroom, four-bath ranch house with a huge entertaining patio, finished in native limestone, overlooking several of the natural waterfalls on Live Oak Creek. Two of the bedrooms are master

suites, one upstairs and one downstairs, and the house is designed with rustic elegance and privacy. A fully updated kitchen and comfortable appointments throughout the residence provide a welcome rendezvous at the end of a long satisfying hunt or day touring the ranch. The huge back patio is designed for outdoor entertainment with a very large openair fireplace, large fire pit and a completely covered outdoor bar.

4 Aces is a recreational paradise on the western boundary of prime Texas Hill Country. Salmon Peak and Boiling Mountain are the two highest peaks in Uvalde and Kinney Counties, are both fully located on the property and provide a challenging day of hiking. 4 Aces Ranch has a wide array of beautiful trees and South Texas brush, attracting native wildlife and providing good ground cover; at the same time, the owner has cleared close to 10,000 acres of cedar without disrupting the land’s integrity. Throughout the project, long-buried, old homesteads were uncovered, dinosaur tracks discovered and early American cave art found, and there is still more to be explored and unearthed in 50 Indian

mounds and countless caves. Miles and miles of paved and improved roads facilitate an extensive range of access to many corners of the property, although the entire property has only been seen from the air in helicopter passes. The entire perimeter of the ranch is completely high-fenced with close to 50 miles of state-of-the-art game fence.

The ranch is a beautifully parked, rugged sanctuary, and the owner, along with a wildlife biologist, has created a highly efficient wildlife game park with high-quality habitat and well-managed native and exotic wildlife populations, including whitetail deer, axis, elk, scimitarhorned oryx, red sheep and red stag, eland, zebras, black buck, Catalina goats, aoudad, gemsbok, fallow deer, Corsican sheep and turkey.

A multitude of outbuilding and support structures facilitate the full function of the property, including a massive hay barn, several large covered shops to house equipment and complete metal fabrications.

15± spring-fed water wells provide natural observation points and 30±-ton bulk protein feeders are appropriately placed throughout the property, with hunting blinds and strategically placed game towers.

Roughly one mile from ranch headquarters, a three-bedroom hunting cabin is comfortably situated in a shady, live oak grove. The big, gracious back patio is set with a fire pit and rocking chairs, and the retreat provides a welcome midday respite or trophy camp for special guests.

Don’t miss this incredible game ranch opportunity with an amazing price of only $3,250. Reduced to $2,850 per acre. Owner would consider selling northern 10,000 acres of ranch by itself. v For more information, contact Howard Hood of Hood Real Estate Inc. at 830 896-0510, hhood@bizstx.rr.com or visit www.hoodranchsales.com.

Two miles north of Bellville, this ranch has much to offer. One enters this ranch through a striking gated entrance from Center Hill Road, a paved county road. The ranch road meanders through impressive live oaks, across the limestone-lined dam separating two nice ponds and continues to traverse the hill to the main ranch home, nestled in a mott of large native trees. On the highest hill,

the historic main home, circa early 1900s, features four bedrooms, one and a half baths, central heat/ air, parlor, fireplace, some lovely paver flooring, front porch and pebble paver patio. Highlighting

the home is the antique post office counter between the dining area and the family room, as well as wrought-iron railing at the top of the stairwell, salvaged from the old Austin County courthouse. A short walk down the hill, the guest home features a touch of the past and a fragrance of the present connected by a nice breezeway. One section is an old home (c. 1927) with a full kitchen, three bedrooms, one bath, living area, beautiful woods floors and some rooms with wide-plank walls. The second section, added in 2000, contains a large living area, master bedroom and bath. The second floor of this section is a bonus room and a game room accented with cedar planks, with a bar and half-bath. A second half-bath is in the oversized two-car garage.

The ranch is sandy loam in nature with a lush cover of coastal and native grasses. Piney Creek, a year-round running creek, meanders through part of the ranch. There are four ponds. A part of the ranch is heavily wooded with oak, pine and big native pecan trees, with selectively cleared walking and riding trails. All the comforts afforded a ranch owner can be enjoyed minutes from Bellville’s city limits or a relaxing 50-minute drive from Houston.

Rocking “B” Ranch consists of 355 gently rolling

Rocking “B” Ranch Central Texas v Austin County v Bellville

acres near the southern city limits of Bellville.

With over 8,900 feet of paved road frontage on Old Mill Creek Road and Graham Road, this property is recognized as one of the premier

working ranches in Austin County, while enjoying endless investment and development potential.

Three nice-sized ponds and a spring-fed, 23-acre lake that maintains a constant water level are stocked with tournament-winning Florida largemouth bass. Four wells serve the ranch’s additional water needs. Mill Creek, meandering 4,100 feet, serves the ranch as its southern boundary. Dense wooded areas and large groves of mature oak and pecan trees provide a home and shelter for cattle and wildlife. The range land, fertilized and limed annually, produces abundant, improved high protein grasses that enhance the hay and cattle operation. State-of-the-art iron pipe cattle pens with covered hydraulic chutes, slide gates and sorting and loading pens allow one to work several hundred head of cattle with ease. A working barn and equipment shed with electricity and water is adjacent to the working pens, all near the center of the ranch. All perimeter and internal fencing has been replaced, featuring steel gates and high-end hardware. The cattle herd is composed of 100 young, registered Gray Brahman cows and five noted, registered Gray Brahman bulls selected and purchased from recognized breeders from around the state. The cattle herd and ranch equipment may be purchased by separate treaty after the ranch sells. The main complex has access from Old Mill Creek Road via gated stone entrances on either end of a circular concrete driveway. The grounds are enclosed by three-rail board fencing. A time-zoned high pressure irrigation system maintains the beautifully landscaped grounds. Improvements consist of a main ranch home, constructed in 1973 and completely renovated in 2003, with 3,510 square feet, three bedrooms, three baths, an office (or a 4th bedroom), formal dining room, kitchen with adjoining breakfast room, living area with fireplace and a family room with views of and access to the beautifully landscaped pool and patio area with outdoor kitchen, saltwater pool and hot tub and gazebo. Lush landscaping surrounds the pool area and lines the walk to the recreation center/barn patio. Built in 2002, the recreation center has 5,508 square feet with wood construction and a metal roof on an 8" slab. A spacious covered patio extends the entire width of the barn and serves as the entrance to an air-conditioned entertainment/game room and workshop. Other features include a half-bath, tack room, equipment storage area, hoist and four horse stalls. Large wooden doors on heavy duty roller tracks on the north and east sides of the barn make for easy access to the equipment storage area. The horse stalls open into board-fenced paddocks and a board-fenced arena adjoins the barn. In 2007, a small lake was built near the main complex, featuring a boat house and a lighted, floating water fountain. Rounding out the improvements is a covered RV storage building.

Rocking “B” Ranch is unmatched when it comes to recreational enjoyment, ranch opportunity and investment and development potential.

drive from Salt Lake City. Excellent numbers of big game and wildlife are harbored in large stands of quaking aspen, spruce and alpine fir. Crandall Creek Ranch borders Rockport Lake State Park and is very close to the Weber River’s wonderful trout fishery. Water rights are in place for 74 acre-feet of water. Zoning allows 49 homesites—because of its natural beauty and development value, the ranch has excellent potential for a conservation easement. No finer opportunity remains to own
