Alyson and Chelsea Parelli Audition - Freestyle L3/4 6/5/2011

[@Duh6666666]

I've never been very comfortable around horses but after watching M.Parelli's lectures and watching a few incredible trainers and their horses, I easily see everything I was doing wrong. This video blows my mind, the mare's attentiveness to her trainer's subtle commands is breathtaking to behold. Many kudo's!

[@sarahlangham14]

That was a beautiful example of how I want to be one day with my horse.... Thanks for sharing. I'm just starting out on my Parelli voyage so you are a wonderful inspiration. All best from Ireland.

[@alysonr.williams3694]

Thank you for the wonderful comment. I know it has been years since you left it... I hope you have continued on your journey with horsemanship. All the best from the States!

[@margaretsusanlohre9780]

Sat down to start level 2 today and suddenly youtube started on it's own and this appeared. Can't wait... This connection!!!!

[@DuchessMyPony]

I have watched this video so many times, and I can never get enough of it. This is how it should be for all horses and humans!

[@cynthiabowers3109]

It would be great but, I don't get the stick if they trust each other?

[@mocafever99]

Such a beautiful Appy!!! You guys are what the Parelli Level 4 is all about!!! You did an AWESOME job!!!! I hope I look like you one day!! Again, wonderful, this is just amazing!

[@gretchenrohde1920]

FANTASTIC! What a lovely picture of you two. She is lovely, and you have done a great job - well worth a Level 4. Also am taking notes on your play ground.

[@karensmith7691]

Beautiful, horse and rider, in perfect harmony! I was a level 2 with my Appy mare and this would have been my ultimate to achieve! Sadly I lost her at 25 years but had 1/2 of that time with her doing Parelli! And this, well, as one person said, could watch forever!

[@2seasea]

Good for you! This was so beautiful it made me cry. :) Super combo you two are.

[@judithhamilton2753]

Fantastic Parelli trained horse and rider. You are incredible, both of you.

[@patriciareid6679]

wonderful wonderful video. I can just imagine the years of work to reach this level of communication. Well done.😃

[@annasookie7]

This is inspiring! I love this! This is how I plan to get with my mare. We are almost there tho! She has only been under saddle for a year. She moves off my leg amazingly! But this is so amazing to watch!

[@vrccb]

Just amazing. I am in awe.

[@terrygalen6606]

Lovely! you deserved that level 4!

[@pesjeju]

Amazing! It shows how beautifully, peacefilly a horse and a human could be one. My dream, definitely!

[@AMonikaD]

My goodness girl! Awesome and congrats!!! I hope you're still enjoying your appy.

[@1maripaul]

People who give a video like this one, (so sweet and awesome to horseman and NON horseman) give it a "thumbsdown" sign just must have Nothing BETTER to do than to cause Conflict....first of all.....W.H.Y. Would you EVEN bother to watch??? and HOW can you NOT like something like THIS? It makes you Wonder....hmmmmm????.....WHAT could a person that gives this a "thumbs down" POSSIBLY LIKE???? And if you are just so unhappy in your life, I guess they only See misery wherever they look.......And then they like to Pass it on to everyone around them.....lol.....Geeeee! Isnt That Nice of them.....LOL!! What will they "thumbs down" NEXT??? A baby bunny and a little girl giving nose kisses!! HA! I have one thing to say to the two 'idiots' who "thumbs downed" this video......I bet if you had a money tree growing in your back yard you find fault with That Too!!! It would go something like this - Happy person talking: "Ohmygosh, You have a MONEY TREE Growing in your backyard and it is FULL of money!!!" "Thumbs down Person" replies: "Why, yes I do, but Gosh I had to give my money a tree "Thumbs Down" even thought it grows thousands upon thousands of dollars per day, I just have to.....because the branches are not a PRETTY Brown!!" I would Typically End my comment with "Have a nice day" but of COURSE "Thumbs down Guy" Isnt , So I will just say this to save him/her the trouble: "Have a nice Day, but it probably will rain, so it is better to just give this day a "Thumbs Down" Right now !!!!"

[@nancygreen10]

You and your horse are very talented, the video is beautiful and sends to everybody your passion for horses as I have it too

[@Julo_la_frite]

I'm totally ////// crazy and in love with your video, such a good work !!!! Best regards from France !

[@gmwwc]

I have been riding since 1966. I well know the time and discipline this takes. Well done! Also excellent video and audio work.

[@alysonr.williams3694]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@mandiheino]

Beautiful little mare and great work defying the skepticism that Appaloosas are stubborn and defiant a buckskin mare in heat at liberty this is a absolutely amazing watch xoxo keep on shinning🤩😇👏💯💜🐴😎

[@bjh970312]

Very observant! That's a stallion she is riding past.

[@VeryHappyHorse]

You did an incredible job with that horse! She is amazingly responsive to your cues!

[@lmzumbach]

Beautiful and inspiring to watch. I would love to be able to do this with a horse someday. Yours is very striking too! Kudos on your great teamwork.

[@saskiakoning4466]

What a team loved your video!

[@46rambo49]

it just don't get no better'n that. nice job young lady. Ride hard, shoot straight and always tell the truth, Roy Rogers

[@loriw2661]

WOW!! Beautiful!

[@desmo999]

Faaantastic, wonderfull!!! Who wants to ride with all that bad bridle, curb stuff if a human and a horse can go in this wonderfull fusion. Thank you very much!!!

[@Horejunkie333]

Wow very inspiring you ride so well & your horsey is flawless

[@sherryuribe5766]

I used to ride horses like this who were unbroken. You just read the horse and stay on and move with it, work with it. The horse does not want to be ridden but eventually they slow down and become manageable. It is worth the effort because the horse becomes more useful.

[@LinaHebi]

An amazing job done here! :)

[@debbiehorn8263]

Beautiful video & music. I love Apps.This is what I call oneness

[@suziehorton8453]

Freakn awesome!. Thankyou!. Inspiring!.

[@ilsehermkens633]

I like how your horse sneaky tries to eat some grass haha.

[@Albmaus]

wonderful. You have so much harmony. I would love to be able to do this with my Appi someday. Greetings from Germany

[@alysonr.williams3694]

If you put in the work I'm sure you will get there! They are wonderful creatures :) Cheers

[@henderjess900]

Chelsea enjoys being with you. Superb horsemanship. Thanks for posting.

[@ClassyDiva52]

Thankyou!! :'D the other day I was just doing my usual parelli rountine and then I went to rideing, and ive just started to lean back and breath out when I want a stop (I got this from the video btw)... and there was a major difference!!! he stoppped soo easily!! he was fantastic and its all to your video, thankyou :') ... apart from the fact he spooked and bolted that arvy, and I couldnt stop him ( I stayed on haha) It was good. But all I did was turned around and went back in the paddock :'D

[@StubbornRider]

Awesome! I am beginner of the parelli program and I hope I will able to ride on my horse like to.

[@MikeWhiskey427]

Awesome... Hope they put you on :)

[@keithtaylor6069]

That is so beautiful

[@elaineraynor88]

So beautiful to watch. I see your horse is named Chelsea. My horse is DRC Trendsetter, out of Dun Roven Chelsea, out of Chief Chelsea.

[@carolschley3810]

A beautiful relationship and a pleasure to watch.

[@nicolemazzoni5621]

i loved it ! hope to get at this level soon :-)

[@Tarina66]

Beautyful - well done, I am so prowd to see such a harmony. Stunning

[@taylormadeappys]

Wonderful...horse AND rider!!!

[@dorotheaschell6701]

I have seen this video about 10 times and doubt that i ever reach this level. But: This is horse-riding! Great communication.

[@Appytrailsranch]

The first day you came to look at Chelsea, you took her into the round pen and started working. Before you were done, I went in the house and ordered our Parelli videos. She looks beautiful, coloring like her dam, Goldie but she has her sires head and brains... Mamin Iskitpe Apache. He was great! Regina Shapiro Appy Trails Ranch

[@onedumbbaby]

you've done such a wonderful job with you mare! she looks so content and happy to be with you. clearly you two have a special bond. i will bookmark this video.

[@jcadams8232]

Awesome. The ability of this lady reminds me of a story of an early 1800's Texas woman kidnapped by renegade Comanches who murdered many of her family members and made a slave of her. However, such abuse did not deter the young lady who happened to be quite the horseman and personally knew at least one very good horse that was taken in the raid on her family. She pretended to comply with Indian demands until, after a few days, found an opportunity to get near the horses at night. Escaping on a very good horse that she knew very well, she did not know where she was but headed as due north as she could. Her escape was not simple or straight forward given that she was in unknown territory in the Plains states area. Clothing for her and gear for the horse did not exist. After many days of desperate riding, she crossed the path of a wagon train headed west where they told her that she had traveled hundreds of miles if her story was true but they did not believe her story. She was directed east toward a fort. And finally an officer confirmed among the Indians parts of her story. She was quite the horse lady and it saved her life. I wish I could handily recall the name of the book of many such historical accounts. Many of such books are now found in reprint, such as "Indian Depredations in Texas" by Wilbarger (of Wilbarger County fame) and "The Flowers and Fruits of the Wilderness" by ZN Morrell, and "Our Wild Indians' by Col. Dodge.

[@mariecamenzind]

Majestic animal... majestic rider

[@MeligBootje123]

[@tedsmith4353]

Great job. Inspiring

[@willingwalers]

NICE!! Well done!

[@silkeklein2068]

Lucky you.! And by now you reflected how gifted you are. Yet Never spoyled - perhaps supported. You made the best of it and apart of all horse engagement I suppose you are aware of the values in life. Lucky, Lucky you, with a childhood like this. Keep on making the best of it all. Best whishes to you and I hope you are well.

[@ronfillmore552]

Totally awesome Alyson, not much of a horse person but I do ride a little. I can hardly see you doing anything to control the horse. Is it in your feet?

[@ClaireBEAUMARD]

[@gweniewhinnie]

[@ClassyDiva52]

You are amazing! Im trying to teach my horse neck reining... but because im not taught, I am not certain if im teaching him correctly. I do parelli regulally by myslef and in clinics. What im wondering is how did u get to that stage? and what horseinality is he/her? :'D many thanks

[@alysonr.williams3694]

Sorry I have not looked at this video in years and never replied. I hope you are still pursuing you horsemanship journey!

[@alejandroamadolagares975]

enorabuena, puedes sentir la libertad, gracias por compartir

[@asheky]

Awsome! I would like that with my horse

[@AnneMarieLewis]

it's been years since this video was posted .... I'd love to see how these two are today? Anyone know?

[@alysonr.williams3694]

Thank you for watching my video and enjoying it. We are still together as a team and she is still my favorite horse. I should get around to taking another video of us together and posting it since I have received so much positive feedback on this one. Maybe someday soon... I was 17 at the time of this video and my horse was 9 and we had been together for 5 years. I started her with I was 13 and she was 4. Crazy looking back on this for me!

[@cynthiajohnson411]

I bought Aspen from Samantha 3 months ago.... she is much more centered after Samantha continued to take her through Parelli level 4. Samantha is now a PNH Instructor. It’s fun for me to see how rambunctious she was!

[@Benj8211]

Hi, how long ago was this please ? And how are things now?

[@zydrebaroniene8412]

❤❤❤❤

[@carolyn58]

you look very beautiful together.

[@Lyreathvsvideo]

Totalement subjuguée par votre relation. Quel modèle ! Et quel beau modèle de cheval, aussi ! Very very nice job o_O

[@luisaaquarapid5567]

You and Chelsea are wonderful! I d like to have a conversation regarding horses. I live in italy . How can we Get in contact?

[@alysonr.williams3694]

[@sophieherz8517]

how old are you and your horse ?:)

[@alysonr.williams3694]

At the time of this audition for level 3-4 and this video I was 17 and she was 9... I had had her for almost 5 years and had started her 4 years before. Sorry I have taken so long to reply.

[@timo9900]

level 4.? they should make a level 10 just for you you would put an apache to shame. I had no idea that was possible

[@alysonr.williams3694]

Thank you for your kind words. This horse is a superstar and has taught me so much through our life together; I could not have asked for a better teacher.

[@mylilbigfire]

THIS IS HORSE RIDING

[@marie-christinbottcher5264]

how do you started with Parelli work? with help of a book or videos? i also want to start but i dont really now how.

[@alysonr.williams3694]

I have found their videos to be helpful but what has helped me the most through the years has been working directly with Parelli professionals. Although I am a hands-on learner and have to do it my self in order to put the pieces together, which might not work for everyone. I hope you have found a good path for you no matter which way it has lead.

[@cynthiabowers3109]

Seems like that stick is pretty much useless so, why bother carrying it ?
