A Day in the Life of a Young Parelli Enthusiast

A Photo Documentary Collection by Jenni Beth Koetsier

Ten year old Kate Koetsier has daily responsibilities pertaining to her pony Cloud. She lives on Longfields, the youngest in a family of horse lovers. Kate's mother and two older sisters also follow the Natural Horsmanship programme Parelli which focuses on the phsychology and personality of horses. A strong relational bond between horse and trainer is the inherent focus, including a lot of ground work and trust exercises.

The double balancing act; if you're not living on the edge you're taking up too much room.

Chilling out ...
