Parelli Level 1
Safety-Communication-Relationship-Leadership
Level 1 Skills:
safe handling
safe, easy leading
riding safety drills
equine psychology 1
Level 1 is where all true 'horse savvy' begins... It creates a positive balance of trust and respect, eliminating many common problems and safety issues people encounter with horses.
Pat`s Level 1 Partnership Program is focused entirely on helping you, step-by-step, to develop the kind of trust and respect that will positively impact everything you do with your horse.
You`ll learn to play The Seven Games, break down the prey-predator barrier, create a language with which to communicate with your horse, and teach your horse on the ground the things you want him to understand when you are on his back.
You`ll develop natural riding dynamics by riding with one rein, with focus, and with the Carrot Stick in preparation for Level 2. These are the first building blocks for a great independent seat.
When you have Level 1 savvy...
-Your horse comes to you
-His ground manners are great; he is willing, cooperative, calm, more confident, compliant, friendly and adaptable.
-He is easy to control; you don`t have to use a bit to force him to stop or slow down.
-He is willing to move forward; you don`t have to kick or use spurs.
-He stands quietly for saddling, and willingly picks up his feet for cleaning.
-His attitude toward you is positive and responsive rather than negative, moody or resistant.
-You can teach your horse to do new things because you understand how to communicate with him.
