Colorado and Florida Courses Level 1 Partnership The Partnership Level is all about developing confidence and leadership skills with horses. Most people are never told anything more than "how" they should ride: "Just saddle up and get on, kick too, pull to stop, and oh...never let the horse know you're scared!" Not only is this a fraction of the information you need to be safe and successful, it's the reason so many people give up on their dream and sell their horse. You got into horses because you love horses, but no one told you how to get your horse to love you...and it takes a lot more than carrots! Level 1 holds the keys to developing a Partnership with your horse. You'll learn how to build rapport and acceptance, and then develop the leadership qualities horses need. These are horse-leadership skills so you'll learn how horses do it in horseville! The results you get depend on how good your communication skills become, and how confident and trustworthy a leader you are. That's what we're here to teach you!
