The Teacher's Journies
Mary Ann Parmelee began her Journey with horses at the age of 6 after begging her parents for lessons at The School of Horsemanship in Grand Rapids, MI.  She learned from watching lessons and was influenced by such greats as Gabor Foltenyi, Bert de Nemethy, Bill Steinkreis, Gordon Wright and George Morris.  Mary Ann's philosophy is that riders must understand their responsibilities and the true meaning of commitment.  She believes developing brainpower and exemplifying a high degree of dedication are key ingredients to achieving success not only with riding, but in life.  She and her husband Tom (also a horseman) have lived in Aiken, SC for almost 20 years.
