Mary has been
immersed in horses since the age of 6. She has many accomplishments in
the show arena and continues to test her skill of communication there
today. For more than a decade Mary has been focusing on the
extraordinary bond that can be reached through natural horsemanship. Her
love for this connection between horse and human was first sparked by
Jimmy Williams, while she was riding and instructing for him. Later she
found that Pat Parelli's style was similar to what Jimmy taught and
began a journey into Parelli Natural Horsemanship. Today Mary has more
than 10 years experience in Natural Horsemanship and she and her
students are carrying that knowledge successfully forward into all areas
of equine sport and competition.
Mary is a strong
advocate of creating a natural lifestyle for the horse, in which he is
free to express his true nature. Mary's horses live in a herd
environment and they are not restricted by shoes and blankets. Watching
and learning about herd dynamic helps her students develop their own
horsemanship and communication skills. Mary trims her own horses with
the guidance of her husband, Jerry, and practices natural healing
methods using photonic therapy, homeopathy, and body work. She tries to
empower her students to learn and be responsible for the health of their
own horses as well. Natural health and horsemanship has become the
foundation of Mary's teaching program, and all students have a solid
base in natural horsemanship before moving on to jumping, dressage, and
competitions.
Mary is a Parelli 2** Instructor.
