Welcome to Parelli Saddles

We receive many requests from curious people eager to take one of our saddles for a ride on their personal horses so that they can feel the difference a Parelli Saddle system can make.

We endeavor to accommodate you whenever we can. Within the Continental United States, we can ship a Test Ride saddle directly to you. (see sample TRIAL RIDE AGREEMENT below. You pay only for the shipping charges, and are under no obligation to purchase the saddle.
If you do wish to purchase a saddle, and have paid for the shipping of your test ride saddle, you won't have to pay for the shipping of your new saddle within the Continental USA).
You can print out the form below and fax it to 970-403-1374, and one of our representatives will contact you to discuss saddle availability. If you have problems, please email parellisaddles@parellisaddles.com.

Below this agreement, you can find a list of Parelli Professionals, most of whom have saddles on hand to loan out at their clinics or lesson sessions.

Parelli Saddle Clinics are far more than Makeovers!

Tina Giordano, 3-Star Parelli Professional, is a highly skilled presenter of this material. The photo composite (above) illustrates just a few of the segments of a typical seminar held at Atwood Ranch: 1. It’s easy to feel subtle or dramatic differences (the good and the bad) in what the horse feels as you move small and large parts of yourself when you’re up there. 2. It’s easy to see why a saddle could feel like a torture device when you measure the underside of it with a flexicurve and compare it to the measurement of the horse’s back. 3. If your riding posture is not secure on your balance point, it’s easy to be pulled off balance. Just a little tug on the “reins”, and every one of these “riders” fell forward. 4. When you are secure on your balance point, even a huge tug, a sudden stop, zig or zag is not likely to unseat you! 5. It’s important to know how to feel underneath a saddled horse and know what to expect as a good fit. 6. It’s important to know what to look for when a horse is traveling on the forehand when ridden, understand all the consequences of this, and know how to fix it! This happy rider, in a Parelli Saddle for the first time, is pleased to be able to finally enjoy her horse being relaxed, head down, moving smoothly....and SO much more!

Please email ParelliSaddles@ParelliSaddles.com , and mention your location. We will send you more information as it unfolds.

Testimonial:

“Today I participated in the Saddle and Posture Clinic at Horse First in Wisconsin. Farrah Green and Michelle Manshardt were the Parelli Instructors. I am an Equine Sports Massage Therapist and have studied much of the material they have presented, but they blew me away with the in-depth content, at the same time the simplification that anyone could understand. The connections to human anatomy and how we effect our horses. How our horses are not "wrong" …just understand where they are “at” in their development and know what can we do to make a change. Thank you for the program of loaning out the saddles to try. I was very impressed with Farrah's knowledge of shimming and how current she was on the latest subtleties of how to fit saddles for optimum performance. I had just read about those in the savvy times not too long ago”. Barb R

If you are interested in participating in such a clinic or would like to host one in your area please let us know. WE CAN SERVE YOU IN YOUR LANGUAGE: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish.

When you come to a Parelli saddle seminar (with or without your own horse), you can expect to participate and learn on many levels. These events are not just about saddles and how to shim and fit them. You’ll learn about horse postures as well as your own body carriage, biomechanics, fluidity and how to apply these things to use your horse's true potential. Many Parelli Instructors incorporate much of this valuable information within their own clinics. But it’s a huge subject, and we receive regular requests for 2-day sessions that offer auditors as well as “makeover” candidates the chance to take the time it takes to absorb more and achieve higher levels in their Freestyle and Finesse riding.
