A recent presentation to The 12th International Society for Equitation Science Conference reports that Parelli Natural Horsemanship is compliant with The ISES First Principles of Horse Training.
“Equitation Science is a body of knowledge that utilises evidence based research from the various sciences of biology, neuroscience, psychology and physics to establish some essential principles that apply to all horse training to promote greater efficiency, better horse welfare and improved human safety. Equitation Science is therefore not a method, but set of ‘hoops’ in which all forms of horsemanship should endeavour to jump through. The alignment of horse training methods with Equitation Science principles provides the insight on which to build in improvements in training methods for even greater efficiency and welfare outcomes. I’m very pleased to have collaborated on a paper to research the alignment between the Parelli Natural Horsemanship system of training and Equitation Science which we found to be over 80%. I hope that this innovative step for Parelli Natural Horsemanship provides an incentive for other methods and Equestrian Federations to do the same. “
-Dr Andrew McLean, noted international expert on horse training and equitation science
