Integrity Horsemanship

I don’t have a typical Parelli story. I didn’t find Parelli, Parelli found me. No dangerous horse pushed me to my limit, nor problem that needed solving. I was 10 years old and taking traditional riding lessons. One day the owner walked out and said, “We’re going to do this Parelli thing now.” From then on, all I knew was the Parelli program. I began taking clinics from 6 Star Master Instructor Carol Coppinger at the age of 12. She became a great inspiration and mentor, encouraging me to pursue a deeper relationship with my horse and a career in natural horsemanship. Four years later, at the age of 16 I traveled to Ocala, Florida to take my first course on the Parelli Campus. I continued to return for more courses for longer periods of time. In 2016 I spent 3 months at Pat Parelli’s barn as a Vocational Student studying and riding under him daily. Shortly after, I got an invitation to join his team for a year as a Mastery Student. At the end of 2017 I achieved my first Star rating as a Licensed Parelli Professional.  In September of 2018 I received my second Star, and a year later in September of 2019 I was awarded my third.
July 25, 2021 I became Pat’s barn manager. Each day I do my best to uphold the principles both Pat and Carol have set, and look forward to continuing this journey.
