June 22, 2022Linda Parelli: What We Owe Our Horses
✨ Brought to you by Ride iQ, the most productive equestrian coaching tool in the world. Start your 2-week free trial in the Ride iQ mobile app for iPhone and Android. ✨
On today's episode of "In Stride," Sinead talks to entrepreneurer and horsewoman Linda Parelli.

Linda was born in Singapore to a Scottish Father and a Swiss mother. She moved to Sydney, Australia with her family when she was 12 years old and got her first horse the following year. Linda's first job as a young adult was as Education Director for Ella Bache, a French skin care and beauty device brand. Linda has called herself a 'learnaholic,' and during the 12 years she held the position of Education Director, she was also studying accelerated learning methods and personal development programs.
Linda's return to horses came in 1989. She was in her early 30s and had a hot thoroughbred named Regalo who led her to sign up for a clinic with American cowboy Pat Parelli. In 1993, Linda moved from Australia to the US, and in 1995 she and Pat got married. They traveled throughout the US and Canada giving clinics, and ultimately created Parelli Natural Horsemanship and the Parelli method. Parelli Natural Horsemanship became a worldwide brand and phenomenon that paved the way for the natural horsemanship industry.
A few years ago, Linda and Pat went their separate ways. Linda has since co-founded the Happy Horse Happy Life training program and the Pegasus Personal Growth program.
Sinead and Linda are talking about what we owe our horses.

The episode also includes:
How to stay centered

Mentally rehearsing for various outcomes

Overcoming fear and butterflies

Bringing out the best in yourself and your horse

Controlling your energy

The importance of connection and presence

On today's episode of "In Stride," Sinead talks to 5* event rider Lillian Heard.

Lillian grew up in a small town in Maryland and was introduced to eventing through Seneca Valley Pony Club. After High School, she went on to work for 5* event rider Jan Bynny while she attended the University of Virginia. Her plan to go to law school after getting her undergraduate degree changed when she bought a very special horse named Share Option or "Whitey." Whitey took her on a different path. Together, Lillian and Whitey went up the levels and ultimately went around their first CCI5*-L together. Whitey is the first of multiple horses Lillian has brought up the levels of eventing. Today, she rents a barn from her longtime coach and mentor Boyd Martin at Windurra in Pennsylvania.
On this episode, Sinead and Lillian are talking about facing fear after injury.

✨ Brought to you by Ride iQ, the most productive equestrian coaching tool in the world. Start your 2-week free trial in the Ride iQ mobile app for iPhone and Android. ✨
On today's episode of "In Stride," Sinead talks to Elsa Sinclair about freedom based training, a method she's developed through extensive work with wild mustangs.
Elsa spent a year with a wild mustang with the goal of being able to ride it without using any training tools besides her body language and her voice. Elsa set out to answer the questions: What if horses were given the choice? Would they let us ride them? She documented the whole process in her first documentary film, Taming Wild: A Girl and A Mustang.
Years later, Elsa made her second film, Taming Wild: Pura Vida, that tracks her journey across Costa Rica with two wild mustangs. Her third film has been in-process for 5 years and will document her experiences with two very different mustang stallions. To follow along, join the Taming Wild Community on Patreon.
Trailers for Elsa’s two films:
