Close Ups PNH Foundation Piece: Finesse

Pat Parelli riding on a beach. The ultimate dream we all have when we are children dreaming about horses.
Flying lead changes, piaffe. Two maneuvers of finesse.
Pictured is a horse being ridden with contact in the natural hackamore. Contours of various Parelli bits pictured in the back ground show what is to come.
This is an explanation of fluid rein with an image of someone performing the fluid rein.
Then, you have your first ride with contact. You ask for it for only a moment, and it is not the best form, but you know you are going down a new branch of PNH.
It all begins with a tentative dream. You see Linda and Remmer and imagine being like that someday. Below the ghostly charcoal of Linda and Remmer is a page of stick horses in various processes of finesse. It represents the way that we think in the beginning about Finesse: not really sure how all of the awkwardness of us is going to turn into a horse-man.
