Parelli Level 3 / Level 4 Camp with Rachael Shawyer 4* Parelli Professional
Do you dream of having a ‘go anywhere’ ‘do anything’ horse? Of having excellent seat connection where you can ask transitions and turn without needing your reins? Of being fun and provocative for your horse while progressing his training?
2 day course to include meals and snacks Saturday lunchtime through to Sunday lunchtime inclusive.
Hot showers and toilet facilities
A stable with bedding for your horse or paddock if weather allows.
Accommodation on site we do have a glamping pod at an extra cost that sleeps 2 people or you are welcome to sleep in the Lakehouse on camp bed or your own trailer or horsebox.
In level 3 we explore impulsion; aka emotional fitness / collection. We build this using longer lines, playing at liberty and riding on a loose rein. This teaches the horse to take care of their responsibilities (act like a partner, maintain gait, maintain direction and look where they are going), and teaches us humans to look after ours too, rather than micro manage. This in turn helps us to improve our feel, timing and balance. In Level 3 you will learn to be more provocative and fun as you train your horse, using fun tasks and making learning more of a game. All of this results in a stronger connection, a more trusting partnership and a much happier, more balanced and more responsive horse.
