Partnership Level 1
89% or more of your problems and frustrations are solved at this Level. It also contains critical foundation elements for the following Levels. You'll do 10 times more with your horse then you thought possible!

Are you frustrated with your horse? What problems stand between you and your dreams with horses? The Partnership Level addresses these everyday and more serious issues and shows you how to overcome them.

A good "Partnership" means:

  • Your horse comes to you, you don't have to "catch" him.
  • His ground manners are great; he is willing and cooperative.
  • He is easy to control; in fact, 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 towards you is positive and responsive rather then negative, moody or resistant.
  • He loads into horse trailer easily and without fear.
  • You can teach your horse to do new things because you understand how to communicate with him.


Harmony Level 2
Squeeze Game The secrets for developing a soft, willing and responsive horse, and becoming more inventive in your horsemanship.

Your frustrations are a thing of a past - it's time to start having more fun with your horse and exploring how much more you can achieve.

Harmony with your horse means:

  • You can communicate on longer lines, at greater distances - heading towards Liberty.
  • Liberty: the thrill of playing with horses with "no strings attached."
  • Impulsion by slowing down the fast horse and energizing the lazy one.
  • Developing an independent seat.
  • The magic of Positive Reflexes: snappy, happy responses.
  • Being in tune with your horse mentally, emotionally and physically.
  • Knowing the simple, infallible dynamics of leads and lead changes.
  • The beginnings of finesse: the soft feel.
  • Developing the Four Savvys in the art of horsemanship. Real savvy and real results come when you learn how to have harmony both on the ground (On Line and Liberty) and on the horse's back (FreeStyle and Finesse).

Note: Level 1 is an important prerequisite.
