Natural Horsemanship is a training philosophy that emphasizes understanding and communication between horse and rider. It focuses on building a trusting relationship through techniques that mimic natural horse behavior. This approach encourages riders to use body language, voice cues, and gentle pressure to guide their horses, rather than relying on force or harsh methods. Practitioners of Natural Horsemanship often study the behavior and instincts of horses in the wild. This knowledge helps them create a more harmonious partnership. Notable figures in this field include Pat Parelli and Monty Roberts, who have developed methods that promote empathy and respect in horse training.
