About Patrick

 

Our Mission Statement and Philosophy

Each person and each horse is an individual with individual issues. Therefore we ensure our approach is not a ‘one size fits all’. Every program is tailored especially for you and your horse’s needs.

Patrick Harris’ Story

The Perfect Ride is part of the transformation of Patrick Harris, and like Patrick, it is continually evolving.

I have always loved my four-legged mates. Being brought up in a horse family, I seemed to always find myself riding a real horse, or the rocking horse to the laughter of my grandfather who never tired of me winning another Melbourne Cup.

It’s been said about me that ‘He’s short and fat, but don’t worry, he knows his way around a horse. He’s not the prettiest rider and not the best, but he gets results.”

Having limitations has been a good thing, I guess. I always climbed on horses that were given to me by people who were better riders or physically more capable than me. But I always got results, and fast.”

Patrick is an experienced horseman from New South Wales where his family have owned cattle and horses for six generations.

The Perfect Ride courses at OutBack Alternative Training were developed not just from his experience of horsemanship, but also his study of NLP, Hypnosis and Vibrational energy which has helped him understand, and teach so many, the horse training psychology we need to know, that limits our behaviours and that of our horse companions.

These courses are not aimed just at people who are doing well. The courses are designed for men and women of all ages who would like to use a new, exciting, gentle and fast method of breaking horses or just getting the perfect ride in whatever discipline they are involved with..

If you are a horse lover, and you have a project or you want to train many horses, this course will help you to understand basic and not-so-basic concepts of training, as well as starting young horses, and how to keep you and your horse safe and free from sabotage or hang-ups which stop forward momentum. The emphasis is on gentle handling, understanding yourself as well as your horse, and doing it with safety.

Patrick has completed the Horse Safety Australia course at the top level and is qualified to undertake a Clinic Instructor role at any recognised TAFE college or the like, anywhere in Australia.

from the Horse Safety Australia website:

"These people must first undertake a clinic themselves so that they understand the process and have proved their commitment to safety around horses. Candidates must be widely experienced in a variety of teaching and management situations. A clinic assessor (arena) must have an understanding of horse behaviour, exercises and activities to teach riding skills, knowledge of safety and equipment, knowledge and understanding of risk theory and the psychology of fear, ability to demonstrate and communicate effectively and assessment /communication skills to assist the rider develop skills and correct horse behaviour and performance. They must have riding experience at a high level and have the ability to demonstrate skills both on and off a horse. They require time management and people skills to facilitate a group and ensure positive outcomes from clinics. Those undertaking the clinic instructor role must have Trainer and Assessor qualifications: TAE40110"

Patrick is a Master Practitioner and a Trainer of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). The essence of NLP is the ability to model excellence, then to reproduce it. This is something Patrick has adapted to his work with horses.
