Eventing Naturally

Michelle Donlick

Finesse, Performance, Results!

Michelle combines the passion for superb communication between
horses and humans by Balancing the Horse and Rider between
Traditional and Natural.

Michelle is a successful Eventing Competitor from Preliminary Level
down to the Tadpole Level as well as a Parelli L4/5 student.

Michelle rides with Karen O'Connor and Eric Horgan to Finesse her Eventing skills
and has studied Natural Horsemanship since 1998. She spent more time at
The Parelli International Study Center under Pat Parelli's auspician in
2010 to further her Finesse in Natural Horsemanship.

Avalo Farm specializes in 3-Day Eventing using Natural Horsemanship.
Not all horses want to be Eventers and not all rider's want to compete,
so Avalo Farm will focus on the horse's and owner's skills,
abilities and desires in any English discipline.

All horses - Sale or Training - at Avalo farm will be exposed to
Natural Horsemanship, most with a minimum Level 1 foundation,
in either or both ground manners and riding skills.
