She's now taking lessons from a non-Parelli (but NH ala Harry Whitney) trainer right now who is absolutely fabulous.  >>>> 
 
Harry Whitney is one of the best horsemen I have ever seen.  It was like being at the feet of the master....all the while enjoying humility and a sense of humor.  His keen eye and innate understanding of the horse is just amazing.  His ability to explain and teach is excellent.
 
He comes to Rogersville, TN, in June & July each year for a few weeks and his clinics fill up quickly.  I went as an auditor.  On one occasion he worked with a mare that had just been given to him.  She did not know much communication but had not been abused or anything.  She was across the round pen, and he showed how he got her attention and got her to come to him and consider it a safe place to be.  It was firm, gentle, and very clear communication.  That evening in our talks, someone commented, "I just don't know if I will ever have the patience to do what you did with the mare today, Harry."
 
Harry thought a minute and then said, "No. No, that isn't what it is.  It isn't patience. That is where people misquote Job.  Job did not have patience, he had faith.  I had the faith that she would come to me...I just had to figure out what I had to do to help her."
 
Harry is the real deal.  www.harrywhitney.com
