Building Confidence In Riding
Freestyle Level 1


Minimum Requirements:  Auditioned Level 1, Level 2 On Line*

Instructors:       Farrah Green - 2 Star Parelli Instructor
                         Michelle Manshardt - 1 Star Parelli Instructor

Goals:  Play with your fluidity while someone else plays with your horse!  A controlled passenger lesson to build up your confidence and positive muscle memory.  Teach your horse to keep a rhythm to help you stay balanced.  Mounting and dismounting for safety.  Exercises to build your strength and flexibility.

Here are some topics that may be covered in the four 90-minute long sessions in this course.  This is the first time this course has been run, so there is a chance that we might not get to all of these topics.  In class, if there is a specific issue that you need help with, please let the instructors know – there might be someone else in the class with the same question!  We look forward to seeing you there!

The goal of this class is to dissipate the fear of riding by giving your sub-conscience positive patterns to rely on.  You can always repeat the course if you feel as though you need more supervised practice with any of the topics listed above.  Graduation means that the instructors feel you can ride safely and comfortably at a minimum of a walk and a trot.  Mount and dismount athletically.

There is $5 trailer-in fee due to The Horse First Farm at the time of arrival.  Stabling is available for $15/ day.

For more information please contact Gretchen Arndt at gretchen@thehorsefirst.net or at (608) 772-1728 .
