natural a state as possible. This is all encompassing from how
and what they are fed, to how they are turned out and handled,
but most importantly, how they are trained. Here we focus on Parelli
Natural Horsemanship, whether it is from our facility
set up, to our in-house instruction, or the clinics we offer.
ABOUT OUR FACILITY
Our
facility is geared towards helping and encouraging like-minded
people in their dream of becoming perfect partners with their
horse. Our groomed riding arena and round pen afford a safe

The arena and playground have many items with which to play
with while you begin to learn how to communicate on the horse's
terms. This keeps things interesting and yet effective. We have
a 15-acre playground which is fully equipped with all kinds
of innovative obstacles to help deepen your relationship with
your horse.
Once you have advanced, and both you and your horse have become
more confident, there are groomed trails for your enjoyment
and that will help you to further your horsemanship. From beginner

WHAT
IS PARELLI NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP?
The Parelli Method of horse training teaches expertise and
success with horses based on the way horses relate and communicate
in their natural world – hence the term “natural horsemanship.”
The natural approach to horse training is effective with all
horse breeds, all disciplines and all styles of riding including
Western, dressage, jumping, cross country, drag hunting, polo, racing,
or simply happy hacking. It’s been embraced worldwide by horsemen
and women of all disciplines and skill levels, from first-time beginners
to international competitors and Olympic medalists. Based on respect
for and love of horses – and understanding horse nature and psychology
– the Parelli method enables anyone at any level to have
fun with horses and achieve amazing results...naturally. Parelli
horse training avoids using force, fear, harsh bits or mechanical
training aids in favor of love, language and leadership or, said
another way: relationship, communication and trustworthiness. The
Parelli method allows horse lovers at all levels and disciplines
to achieve success without force, partnership without dominance,
teamwork without fear, willingness without intimidation, and harmony
without coercion. Click here to read the rest of this article.

“Before I moved my 2 1/2 year old Morgan horse to Kindred Spirits
Farm, I felt that I would never get anywhere with him. In the past
1 1/2 years I have had much more success with him than I had ever
imagined possible. Kim helped me to assert my dominance over him
and become a much better leader in our herd of 2! I love the way
that Kim, Bruce, and family always treat each of the horses with
the respect that they deserve. They are truly faithful to the Parelli
method!” – Andrea
