Walter is one of the world's most accomplished and revered
masters of classical dressage, also known as WAZ, he is a highly sought after
clinician and coach.
“I attempt to educate riders to make their horses happy, confident and
proud to work for them. Force and battling have no place in my training
method. I speak with absolute certainty on this point because I have witnessed
its success for 50 years and have sadly watched the effects of rough,
insensitive, and impatient methods on these patient animals. I believe in
dressage as art, and I have practiced that art throughout my professional
life.” - Walter A. Zettl

A bit of change: Please note that Kara-Lee Golota has opted to resign as my official events coordinator in Ottawa. Her other endeavors and business are taking up much of her time and she felt compelled to give them more space. I want to give a big thanks to Kara-Lee for all of her efforts and dedication in the last year organizing clinics and lessons. I am sure we will be working together again on specific events, just not on a ongoing basis. For now, you can direct your inquiries regarding training directly to me. I am currently looking at hiring a new coordinator for the Ottawa region.

Introducing my new events coordinator in the Montreal area - Mylène Guilbert
I
am thrilled to introduce my new events coordinator in the Montreal area!
Mylène's business experience and skills, and passion for Parelli are going to
be a great asset to the team. And she is fluent in both languages! Welcome!
Mylène lives in Beloeil with her spouse Simon and his two children. Mylène is an animal lover; she owns 2 horses, 2 dogs and a cat. Having worked in the field of event planning, sales and recruiting, she has recently decided to take a big leap and start her own business offering exclusive personal organization services.
Mylène became a Parelli student before she even owned a horse. She had no doubt: Parelli was her method of choice once she would have her own horses. Four years ago, Mylène acquired her first horse named Maewest (RBE), a retired racing Standardbred. Maewest was her first Parelli partner. This mare did not trust humans and with Parelli training and lots of patience, she became an extraordinary horse. Eventually, Mylène added a second mare to her herd, a gorgeous QH named Princesse (LBI). Her spouse, seeing how well Mylène was doing with Maewest using Parelli, decided to adopt Princesse. From a horse that used to consistently buck her riders off, Princesse has now become respectful of humans and safe to ride, thanks to Parelli! Since December, a new horse has joined the herd, a beautiful 6 year old QH gelding, Balzak (LBE) who is Mylène's new partner. An interesting challenge!
In addition to the respect and dignity given back to horses and their nature, Mylène particularly appreciates the Parelli method because it is progressive; it is easy to learn, step by step, and the results are quick to obtain. A special and very enriching relationship develops rapidly between horse and human. This method is also constantly evolving. The Parelli are continuously looking for new ways to share and teach, which is stimulating for their students.
For Mylène, the Parelli method is filled with small and great victories. When she calls her horse from the end of the pasture and he comes to meet her at the gate, she has no doubt it is thanks to Parelli. Mylène is passionate about Parelli: when she talks about it, there is no stopping her!
Mylène speaks both languages perfectly. You can reach her at: mylene.guilbert@hotmail.com Phone 514.743.9199
