The Parelli Natural Hackamore is widely used for young horses and relaxed riding (Freestyle or on the trail). Made form the same, lovely subtle line as our halters, it's perfect for teaching horses to be soft and confident when riding, starting or re-starting horses that are afraid of the rider's hand or bit.

"I own some expensive hackamores that are literally works of art, and yet this one is the one I most often reach for!" Pat Parelli

1. 1/4-inch smooth Horseman's Braid (tied slightly larger than the Horsman's Halter), made of high quality yachting braid.
2. 1/2 inch Horseman's Reins - 9 ft rein and 12 ft lead, all in one.
3. If not used with loose, casual reins it takes away from the functionality of the design.
4. Lead with the rope not the reins!
5. The nylon rope you usually see used for halters and leads is typically not designed to withstand the unique challenges an equine application presents. Nylon rope stretches, can become stiff with use, increases in size over time and absorbs unwanted moisture. The 100% polyester rope used at Parelli has been specifically engineered with horsemanship use in mind. Parelli rope is dirt, sweat, mildew, rot and UV resistant. This means that your rope will stay truer to its original form longer, without fading, stretching, popping or elongating.
6. Great for new riders, beginning riding skills or colt starting and to introduce a horse to riding basics.
7. Great to reteach horses with riding issues to understand basic commands.

The 22 Foot (7m) Lariat Rope has the same characteristics as the 45 Foot Lariat Rope (14m Lasso). The lightweight 7m Lariat Rope is ideal for practicing driving your zone 5 horse on the ground. Including a light carabiner.

With an inflated diameter (height) of 42-44 inches, the ball will allow you to simulate things your horse may be afraid of and will help build confidence around objects in motion and sudden movements.   “I love having objects that stimulate my imagination and help me be more creative in my teaching and training” Pat Parelli

Carry it all in this lightweight yet strong nylon bag. Pat used to call this his 'portable round corral' because he could put everything he needed in it to communicate and connect with any horse, anywhere, without depending on a 50-foot round corral being there. Hauling ropes around can be a pain. Inevitably your lines get dragged through the mud, become tangled, or somehow disappear under the front seat of your car. With the Parelli Equipment Bag, your lines/ropes will stay safe and organized, no matter where you are heading. 45-ft training line shown in picture is sold separately.

This durable spacious bag affords you plenty of room to fit your lines, including our 45-ft. training line.

Strong durable zippers ensure that your lines/ropes stay secure inside.

Features large black Parelli logo on the front.
