What is Hill Therapy?

Hill Therapy is a program created by Parelli to help any horse learn to push with his hindquarters, lighten his forequarters and strengthen his top line. Therefore creating a stronger and more naturally collected horse, making riding and advanced maneuvers easier for the horse and rider. To learn more please email Parelli by clicking here.

May 1, 2008 - Week 1, Day 1


We picked a nice hill on the other side of our dam, perfect for hill therapy.

At first Bebe wanted to canter up the hill, I wonder what that means?

Then by the end of the session he was at a slow jog the whole time, good.

Tomorrow will be interesting, I will post pictures of the hill we are using.

I highly doubt if you know who I am, but I got your link of the SC forum...My name is Fran, I'm 17 and about 3 tasks from being done with Level 3...anyway, I just wanted to post a quick comment on here about hill therapy information, you've got written that it gets the horse to pull with it's hind end, and actually, the idea of hill therapy is to get the horse to power under and PUSH with his hind end. Just thought I'd let you know so your site can be as accurate as possible :)

Keep it natural! Savvy up!
