To the Rescue

Advisory Board member Carol Grubb wrote an article for the Equine Voices Rescue newsletter...

There  is exciting news at the National level for rescued horses. The Humane Society of the United States, and Natural Horsemanship trainers Pat and Linda Parelli, have joined forces to spotlight not only the ;light, but the potential of horses who have ended up in rescue organizations across the country.

"Many horses who end up at rescues are not there because they are "bad" or broken, but because their owners did not have the knowledge or resources to build a successful relationship with them. The Parelli Natural Horsemanship methods of training teaches how to communicate effectively with horses, setting the stage for a long, successful relationship," said Keith Dane, director of equine protection for The Humane Society of the United States." Pat Parelli said, "Our greatest initiative in the horse industry is to help people have more successful relationships with horses and to not treat them as disposable items. Too many people get out of horses because they get frustrated or afraid, and too many horses suffer as a result...together we can change that."
