Making the World

A better place...

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

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,

Volume 39 Farm&Ranch West

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.” Volume 39 Farm&Ranch West

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.”

Volume 39 Farm&Ranch West

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.

Controlling five square miles (2,640 deeded and 560 BLM leased acres) of the rolling highlands of Catron County, Mariano Mesa Ranch occupies the heart of trophy elk country. A combination of milder winters and a diverse mosaic of piñon pine, alligator juniper, shrubs and grasslands produce some of the best elk hunting in the state.

Trophy elk are the big attraction here, but mule deer, antelope, black bear and mountain lion also provide outstanding opportunities. Mariano Mesa Ranch has three wells in place, power and telephone on site, receives landowner deer and elk tags, adjoins public land, and lies 15 miles northeast of Quemado. $2,600,000.

The new horse facility with a custom six-stall barn has all the amenities. You will also find the “old bunkhouse” converted to a wonderful tack/ feed room. Relax after your ride and enjoy a cool refreshment off the back of the “old bunkhouse;” a covered bar with a large sitting area is authentic and unique to the Double B Ranch experience.

The Bell Ranch New Mexico v San Miguel County v Tucumcari

The Bell Ranch is one of the most important— even singular—cattle ranches offered in the United States today. Encompassing 290,100 deeded acres, it probably represents the only opportunity to purchase nearly 300,000 acres of North America land in one stroke for the balance of this century. The Bell is part of a 656,000-acre 1824 Mexican land grant, and was purchased by William N. Lane—a vigorous Chicago businessman—between 1974 and 1978. This remarkable holding is the largest working cattle ranch available in the United States today and offers great privacy and the unbridled operational freedom and personal enjoyment found only within an empire encompassing 453 square miles of deeded land. The Bell possesses strong resources for successful entrance or expansion in the cattle business, including 290,100 blocked-up deeded acres (no federal or state land); 14 to 15 inches annual precipitation and elevation from 4,300 to 5,600 feet; a broad spectrum of strong grasses provide yearround forage; 116 wells and windmills plus 90 miles of pipeline and 206 stock tanks; superb cattle-handling facilities at 14 locations and good fencing; a carrying capacity for 5,000 animal units (calf weights at 500 pounds); six cow camps, each with good homes; headquarters listed on National Register of Historic Places in 1974; 10,000-square-foot hacienda with eight bedrooms and classic estancia architecture; a 8,000-foot maintained dirt airfield with hangar and fuel storage; 18 miles of Conchas Lake frontage with a comfortable 2,800-square-foot guesthouse; trophy antelope and turkey hunting; and a variety of wildlife, including mule deer, Barbary sheep, black bear, cougar, quail, dove and some elk. The Bell is a first-rate cattle ranch and world-class investment offering its next owner a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to engage in one of America’s important industries. It also represents an amazing opportunity for immediate, successful expansion by existing large beef producers. A large part of the bargain will be enjoyment of a wonderful authentic western lifestyle along with escape from the pressures of success into an inspiring private world of timeless natural grandeur. Because of The Bell’s extraordinary historical values and unsullied landscapes, consideration of conservation easements will hold appeal for some. Previously, The Bell was offered at $440 per acre. Recognizing current global economic conditions, it has been discounted 35% to $286 an acre – $83,000,000 – including all seller-owned mineral rights. Buyers’ brokers are welcome to enquire.

Clark’s Canyon Ranch Wyoming v Park County v Cody

Clark’s Canyon Ranch rests in the very private and historical area of Wyoming’s northwest corner, along the front of the rugged and steep Beartooth Mountains. Approximately 26 miles northwest of Cody, 40 miles from Red Lodge, Montana (a popular ski resort) and 70 miles west of Yellowstone National Park’s northeast entrance on the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway, the ranch is accessed by a county-maintained gravel road via State Highway 120. The 3,200 total acres consist of 1,070 deeded, 1,500 BLM lease and 640 State of Wyoming lease acres. There are 365 irrigated and 134 sub-irrigated acres. Historically producing alfalfa hay, the 365 irrigated acres are currently used for grazing and produce native grass. A wildlife refuge with native range grasses, the sub-irrigated acreage provides incredible wildlife habitat. The majority of the BLM lease adjoins approximately three miles of the Clark’s Fork River along the Beartooth Front and is part of the critical elk winter/parturition range where over 4,000 elk reside. The picturesque State of Wyoming section lies at the canyon mouth of the Clark’s Fork River and forms the west boundary of the ranch. The Clark’s Fork of the Yellowstone River flows through Clark’s Fork Canyon and meanders along the northern border of the ranch. John Colter, the first Englishman to visit Yellowstone, spent the winter of 1806–07 in a cave in the Clark’s Fork Canyon after leaving the Lewis and Clark expedition. Along the Clark’s Fork River, Native American sites and migration routes are obvious with numerous teepee rings. In fall of 1877, the Nez Pierce Indians, led by Chief Joseph, evaded the U.S. Army. While attempting their famous escape, they passed through the immediate ranch area. Improvements are designed to complement a horse and cattle ranch operation and provide comfortable amenities for recreational enthusiasts. The custom home has an open floor plan with high ceilings and large windows, allowing spectacular Beartooth Mountain and Clark’s Fork Canyon views. Multiple outbuildings include a horse barn with eight box stalls, tack room, indoor water and hay storage. The Clark Canyon Ranch is an outdoor sportsman’s retreat with unlimited opportunities. Hunting enthusiasts will find resident herds of elk, mule deer, whitetail deer and antelope. Moose occasionally frequent the river and creeks. Bighorn sheep and mountain goat reside near the canyon. This area is only one of two places in Wyoming where mountain goats are found and is considered by many to be a premier wildlife viewing location. The Clark’s Fork River on the ranch and over 950 lakes on the adjacent Beartooth Plateau in the national forest offer exceptional fishing for Yellowstone cutthroats and mountain white fish. The ranch and surrounding public lands offer horseback riding, hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, ATV riding, backpacking, boating, whitewater rafting and kayaking. Trails on the Beartooth Plateau and in Shoshone National Forest offer outdoor enthusiasts the chance to experience miles of untamed country. Winter recreation includes snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, ice fishing and ice climbing. $6,420,000.

Nestled in the foothills of the Coastal Mountains, Atwood Ranch provides a perfect setting where broodmares and foals enjoy life on 2,500 acres of native grasslands in the oak-studded, rolling hills of Northern California. Captivating views of snowcapped Mount Shasta, Mount Lassen, the Sierras and the Sacramento Valley create the backdrop for this premier breeding and training facility. The ranch is fully committed to its principles of breeding, raising and nurturing the finest Quarter Horses, bred for competition in cutting, cattle working events and reining, as well as recreational performance. The ranch specializes in extensive young horse development and educational programs, including the Parelli Pre-School Training program, but is equally suited for a first-class performance horse training operation or large-scale breeding establishment. Central to the success of the ranch programs are its impressive quality facilities; the large, freestanding 140' by 250' barn includes many amenities for the trainer and breeder with large office space, breeding shed with stocks and vet lab, tack and wash bays and foaling and stallion stalls. In addition, a 120' by 100' clear span riding arena, a 200' round training arena, 24-stall training barn, hay barn and three hot walkers accommodate most every facet of horse development necessary to this highly effective and successful breeding and training facility. Ranch fields are divided into many pastures, some with hundreds of acres, some smaller. Others are set up for special use like weaning, geriatrics or rehabilitation. Top-quality fences are built with woven wire, using steel pipe for brace posts and gates. Water is pumped from a 2,500 gpm well and circulated to the barns and most fields by miles of buried pipeline. The largest fields have big reservoirs with year-round water. Some pasture is leased to cattle operations. For additional details and photos, visit VanCleveRanches.com.
