After All This Time - Why Are You Still Struggling with Your Horse?
Dear Fellow Rider, I Know EXACTLY How You Feel.
The frustration, the heartache, the endless nights lying awake, wondering why it’s not working. You’re still locked in the same exhausting battle despite all the love, time, and resources you’ve poured into your horse.
You’ve spent countless hours and sacrificed so much, yet here you are—stuck. You’ve watched every training video you could find, attended every clinic, and sought advice from every so-called expert. Your shelves overflowed with books and DVDs that promised solutions but delivered nothing but disappointment.
And still, every time you step into the barn, that familiar knot forms in your stomach. Why isn’t it working? Why does it feel like you’re failing? And what do you do when the despair becomes too much to bear?
You think about selling the horse you once dreamed of, replacing them with another, only to find the same struggles all over again.
You switch barns. Trainers. Tactics.
You’re desperate for a breakthrough, but nothing changes.
You drown in a sea of conflicting advice, only to emerge more confused and hopeless than before.
You spend more money on gadgets and gimmicks that only mask the problems rather than solve them.
There’s never been a clear, proven path—a blueprint that can guide you from frustration to confidence and harmony with your horse.
Until now…
How to Talk Horse, The World’s Most Effective Horse Training Curriculum Forged from Experience and Adversity
In 2020, after a painful divorce stripped me of the training programs, I had co-created and taught for three decades, I was at a crossroads. Determined to support the community that had followed me through thick and thin, I established a new support system. Then, my new business partner dropped a bombshell: “You’re going to need a new curriculum.”
At first, I was overwhelmed. How could I possibly improve on what I believed was already the best program in the world? But then he challenged me to look deeper. “If it’s truly the best,” he asked, “why are thousands of people stuck on level one or two, with so few reaching level four?”
His words struck a chord. He was right; something was missing. Instead of trying to patch up the old program, I started from scratch. Over the next three years, I developed a new, step-by-step curriculum designed to help people advance rapidly and avoid getting stuck.
The results? Nothing short of transformational.
Students are achieving breakthroughs in days, not years. Sounds unbelievable? Just read the testimonials below from those who’ve experienced the program.
The secret sauce is twofold. One is the sequential nature of the program, where the building blocks quickly form the foundation for success in a simple step-by-step manner. The second is the unique way I have discovered to synchronize the energy between horse and rider.
When you learn how to talk horse, you’ll understand what your horse is trying to tell you, why he behaves the way he does, and how to take your conversations and relationship to an entirely new level.

Here’s Proof that the Happy Horse Curriculum Will Help You Achieve Your Goals With Your Horse
If you’ve been searching for a step-by-step blueprint to a successful partnership with your horse, you’ve finally found it.
I am so excited for Linda’s new curriculum as I feel it is something that has been needed in the horse industry for a long time. There are a lot of techniques out there but do people really understand how to solve the problems they may be having with their horses? Can they accurately read their horse and know what to do? Linda’s curriculum will give students, professionals and anyone in the horse industry the answers to all these questions and more! As a Happy Horse Happy Life instructor, I have first-hand seen massive transformations in students and horses in a short amount of time with this information. As a student myself, I have a deeper understanding of what I now need to do to take my horsemanship to the next level. The best part is that throughout this whole learning process Linda makes it easy to understand, motivating and the outcome is progress, happy people and even happier horses.

I have been reviewing Linda’s program since March. I have had some time to not only utilize the program with my own horses, but teach it as well. Having a path to follow is so important! Linda’s framework is the 10 modules. They can be used both as a way to make a plan for progress as well as diagnostic tools to find our missing pieces so that we can solve our own puzzles. The core behaviors in the first three modules are such a great place to start! They cover a great majority of many of the bumps in the road we commonly encounter as well as give us the strategies we need to develop the partnership we all dream of. Personally, I feel the remaining modules will just be icing on the cake.
These are exciting times. I feel so fortunate to be part of such a remarkably empowering program!

Linda Parelli’s new curriculum, How to Talk Horse has been revolutionary for my partnership with my mare. I have had the privilege to be learning directly from Linda for the past seven months so I have been able watch and experience her new curriculum develop over that time. I have studied other natural horsemanship in the past, and this new way of looking at psychology based horsemanship has transformed the way I interact with all horses. The heart of her program helps me to see what is missing quickly, and address the challenge I am having so I can progress towards my goals. Linda is an amazing teacher, and this new system does not disappoint! The pathway on HHHL is laid out in a way that is easy to understand with self-assessments, written examples/explanations as well as tons of videos! This program is designed for every type of learner who wants to take their relationship to the next level with their horse.

Thinking of having a Happy Horse at all times, is a game changer. Having a diagram of Linda’s heart curriculum has been remarkable! I have a clear focus on what is important to my horse relationship and my leadership! I feel I have a better understanding of what to do with whatever horse shows up! Linda gives us the how, why and what to do about it!
As we move up the heart design, you must have each step before you can get the next. I know I must get the Relaxation before I can expect Responsiveness. When that is in check I can build Confidence, Impulsion and Flexibility. This will create Harmony Energy Purpose and Power! She has created a clear picture and it’s easy to understand.
It’s a privilege to watch a Master at work! Linda Parelli is empowering all of us to become better horseman and horsewomen!

With the strategy’s from How to Talk Horse, I was able to set my goals and know how to accomplish them! Implementing Linda’s curriculum has transformed my horses! I was struggling with a runaway who felt trapped and wouldn’t stop pulling to get away. Being able to go out every session and check if we have connection, relaxation, and responsiveness; and if not how to get it back to get the most out of our time together has changed the way I see horsemanship! I am beyond thankful for Linda and how she is never complacent with the ways that we can better help our horses. I’m so excited to continue to dive deeper into the curriculum and learn and grow alongside all of you. Just remember, aim for the sky, but move slowly, enjoying every step along the way. It is all those little steps, that makes the journey complete.

Questions? Ask Away!
Is this the only way to get Linda Parelli's curriculum?
No! This is the only way to get the Happy Horse Curriculum without becoming a Happy Horse Happy Life Member. It is included at the Student, Achiever and Mastermind levels. You will get immediate access to the course if you join on either of those installment levels.
If you sign up as an Insider Member ($29.99/month) you can go to the Courses section of the ‘HHHL’ website and will have the option to purchase the curriculum at a deeply discounted price with either a monthly payment or a one time fee.
What exactly do I get?
The curriculum is 10 training modules with video, text, pictures, printable downloads such as self-evaluations, training plans, checklists and more. You will also get 10 printed companion guides (over 800 pages) sent to your address.
Who is the curriculum for?
“Would you characterize the course as a foundational course that would suitable for very beginner horse person, or more as a course appropriate for someone that is already past some certain stage in their horsemanship journey?”
All of the above – because it is horse-behavior focused. So you can do it at a preliminary level as well as advanced and professional.
How long will I have access to the Curriculum?
Purchasing the Happy Horse Curriculum will give you lifetime access to the course material.
If I just want to learn Western Riding, why do I need to Connect with my horse?
If you have behavioral challenges, why does your horse respond the way it does? The mental horse world is much different from the mental space of a human. Even so, in the same way that two humans would need to get on the same page to work together, you will need to mentally align before your horse takes joy in being with you.
Most problems that happen are not simply based on a horse’s nature. It’s like a brown horse, for example, is predisposed to certain behavior.
Instead, it’s rooted in a lack of an emotional and mental connection. Even a riding instructor can initially have challenges with a horse that would rather be anywhere else since there’s no foundation to build on.
There’s more to it than being in the correct position. Understanding how horse psychology works will take you a long way.
What makes this Curriculum different from another Natural Horsemanship trainer?
What is it about your program that should compel you to choose it over any other natural horsemanship trainer? Well, it’s all about the approach.
While it is important to have a responsive horse that responds well to leg pressure, your training methods shouldn’t come into play until the horse’s needs have been factored into the equation.
The How to Talk Horse approach begins by cultivating the connection between you and your horse. Understand what horses need, the love factor, matching energy, and more. From there, you head to the relaxation element, followed by other modules that build on the structured approach.
Are the directions easy enough to follow?
Incredibly so! You’ll get pictures, videos, and text that take things one step at a time. You’ll never feel out of sorts.
Is it difficult to monitor my progress?
Not at all! Horses tend to respond in different ways initially depending on their happiness factor. Nevertheless, it’s essential for you to keep track of how you’re doing as you embark on your trail rides or whatever other adventures you go on with your horse.
From patting your horse’s withers to basic movement, each module will feature a progress checklist that you can use to keep track of how well you are doing as a team.
Do you offer any sort of professional evaluation to assess my progress?
Yes! The Happy Horse Success Program.
If you are success driven and want professional evaluations, take the next step. The Level tests are designed for each tier of the curriculum and there is a short, specific test for you to perform:
1st Level – Core Behaviors (Modules 1-3)
2nd Level – Qualities (Modules 4-6)
3rd Level – Performance (Modules 7-10)
