2010 Level 1 Program is based on a 3-Day Intensive Introductory
Each student and their horse are introduced to the routine of this Level. The skills can be mastered over a period of time, and goals can be set with the guidance of the instructor to help you reach your seasonal goals with the horse intended. With ample practice time, horses and humans from the Level 1 Course can be ready to sign up for the next Level (or set of challenges). While each Level focuses on a different area of the relationship, all students are guided with the needs of the individual partnership. Based on the skills of the horse and the human. It is recommended that if you have a horse that is more difficult than others, to consider supplemental lessons before attempting the next Level. The supplemental lessons can sometimes be the key for you and your horse to get past a difficult challenge in your relationship.
