Win a Pair of Tickets to the Parelli Celebrations
The National Horse and Pony Network have partnered with Parelli to offer you the fantastic opportunity to win a pair of tickets to the 2009 Parelli Celebration at the NEC Birmingham. The National Horse and Pony Network went to the Parelli Celebrations in 2008. It was a delightful, enlightening and educational two days. 2009 Parelli Celebrations will be bigger and better! And one lucky winner and a friend will be making their way to the 2009 Parelli Celebration at the LG Arena, Birmingham which will have you sitting on the edge of your seat.

The event takes place November 21 and 22, and is your one and only chance to see Pat and Linda Parelli in the UK this year. Throughout this compelling two days the Parelli team will look at everything from the abandoned horse to the happy horse, from leisure riding to the competition arena, from novice to world championship level, from the unsafe to the safe and unveil important new thoughts on horse welfare and riding.
As well as the action-packed educational programme, the team will be celebrating people who have discovered their potential with horses and showcase them in the exciting new Savvy Spotlight event.
The Parelli Celebration will include:
Savvy Spotlight
When you come to watch Parelli students in the Savvy Spotlight with their horses… individually, in pairs or in a team, it will blow you away. They are all having fun! They are doing incredible things with their horses. And… when things go wrong, it’s no big deal. Oh… and there’s even one more thing, they are cheering on the competition!
Pat Parelli - Starting A Relationship, Developing a Partnership
Over the two days of the Celebration, watch as Pat starts a relationship and develops a partnership with a new horse. What Pat can do in a few hours can take months for many of us.
Linda Parelli - Success with Introverts & Extroverts At Liberty
Introverted horses are notoriously challenging to play with at Liberty. The left-Brain Introvert doesn’t want to move his feet and the Right-Brain Introvert loses confidence quickly and can’t move his feet. So how do you do less and get more? Linda Parelli will show you how.
Pat Parelli - Patterns & Puzzle Solving
In this session Pat shares the savvy of using patterns because they exercise your horse mentally, emotionally and physically and it makes sense to your horse when you want to apply it in different situations, broadening your scope and depth of instinctive thinking when handling horses. In short, you become a puzzle solver.
An Afternoon with Walter Zettl
When asked to describe himself, Walter will tell you that he is the guardian angel of horses. As one of the modern masters of classical dressage, this is a dramatic statement. When Pat and Linda were introduced to Walter they instantly realized the connection, as equestrian soul mates brought together by a deep love and concern for the welfare of this incredible animal but arriving from two very different ends of the sport… theirs from the foundation and his from the very top.
