Described as a horseman, raconteur, philosopher, entertainer and
educator, Pat Parelli is truly a renaissance man in the universe of
horses. "What I teach is so old, it's new," he says. But more
importantly, he's brought a systematic, intelligent and savvy way
to be with horses to people around the globe. Some of his knowledge
and expertise has come easily, some with a high cost.
So, who exactly is Pat Parelli and what drives the man who's become
known as the world's foremost proponent of natural horsemanship?
Indeed, most people don't realize that he and his wife, Linda,
coined this descriptive term used in headlines worldwide. He's the
one person who has developed a methodical natural horsemanship
program, and over the last 25 years, Pat's mission in life has been
to help natural horsemanship evolve from a back-yard phenomenon to
a mainstream movement.
Raise Your Hand if You Love Horses chronicles the first 50 years of
Pat Parelli's life. From a kid growing up in the San Francisco Bay
Area suburbs watching television Westerns to a young bronc rider,
and from a typical horse trainer trying to make a living to an
internationally renowned figure who has helped hundreds of
thousands of people develop a partnership with horses, Pat Parelli
has made a long and rewarding journey.
In his book, Pat describes the early experiences that shaped his
life and reverently talks about the mentors who've influenced his
thinking and helped him become a horseman. He details the struggles
he's had to overcome on the long road to success, and explains how
he created an unparalleled program to help other people accomplish
their goals with horses. Along the way, he fondly portrays the
specialhorses who've helped him grow into the extraordinary
horseman he has become. Also, the reader gets a glimpse into the
future with Pat's vision of where he thinks horsemanship is headed.
Pat is famous for his riveting way of making a point through the
moral of a story. This book contains hundreds of Pat Parelli
stories, from his earliest remembrances to the fabulous experiences
and opportunities he has enjoyed in the last decade. As a bonus
filtered throughout the chapters, readers are treated to People's
Perspectives on Pat - anecdotes in which Pat's many friends, all
well-known and respected in their fields, tell stories about him.
f0Pat Parelli has been able to break through the discipline barrier
and touch every aspect of the horse world - English, western,
racing, all breeds and activities. It's been his passion to share
his hard-learned knowledge with everyone who seeks excellence with
horses. His dream and life's work unfold on the pages of this
book.

And Action! Directing Documentaries in the Social Studies Classroom
provides social studies educators with the background knowledge,
conceptual understanding, and tools necessary to design and
facilitate classroom documentary projects in the K-12 social
studies classroom. The authors have spent more than ten years in
classrooms working collaboratively with teachers to design and
research classroom documentary projects. Recognizing the challenges
of this kind of work, the authors partnered with filmmakers,
historians, educational technologists, and classroom teachers with

process that more closely mirrors the work of filmmakers. With this
book, the authors draw on all of these experiences to assist social
studies educators to efficiently and effectively structure and
assess documentary projects. Educators will learn ways to
transition student learning away from "digital encyclopedia
entries" toward a more authentic documentary approach that focuses
on disciplined inquiry and the use of evidenced-based arguments.
