SUMMARY:Parelli Level 3 / Level 4 Camp with Rachael Shawyer 4* Parelli Professional
DESCRIPTION: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?\n2 day course to include meals and snacks Saturday lunchtime through to Sunday lunchtime inclusive. \nHot showers and toilet facilities \nA stable with bedding for your horse or paddock if weather allows. \nAccommodation 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. \nIn 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. \n\nOnline Skills \n\n\n\nPlay on the 45ft line in large open areas with obstacles and varying terrain.\nRhythm\, relaxation and natural balance in canter.\nExtreme friendly games in motion.\nHunt the jump.\nTransitions and changes of direction on the 45ft line.\nMore solid maintain gait in all gaits.\nTrailer load from a distance.\n\nFreestyle Skills \n\nRidden patterns to improve impulsion\, straight lines\, turns and circles.\nRide your horse on a loose rein in walk\, trot and canter.\nCarrot stick riding.\nBackwards\, sideways\, H.Q & F.Q yields without reins.\nTurn and make transitions with your seat and natural riding dynamics.\nRhythm\, relaxation and natural balance in canter.\n‘Feel’ and get in time with your horse’s feet.\nDrop to trot lead changes.\nSmall jumps without reins.\nPartial disengagement for safety.\n\nLiberty Skills \n\nTeach your horse to catch and follow you at liberty.\nAll seven games in a round pen.\n‘Stick to me’ game.\nTransitions on a circle and change direction\, in a round pen.\nObstacles such as jumps\, tarp and pedestal.\nFig 8 in trot.\nTrailer load.\n\nSuitable for anyone studying in Level 3 or 4. \nBookings are via Rachael Shawyer only. Please visit her website here.

SUMMARY:Parelli Level 1 Camp with Rachael Shawyer 4* Parelli Professional
DESCRIPTION:This is a two day ground skills clinic that will teach you how to be a safe and confident leader on the ground and provide you with the preparations for how to achieve this in the saddle too. Levels 1 to 4 are all about putting a solid foundation on your horse so that you are ready to go anywhere and do anything together. In Level 1 you begin by learning a language so you can communicate with your horse. \n2 day course to include meals and snacks Saturday lunchtime through to Sunday lunchtime inclusive. \nHot showers and toilet facilities \nA stable with bedding for your horse or paddock if weather allows. \nAccommodation 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. \nYour level 1 clinic will consist of theory sessions\, simulations and practical sessions with your horse.\nTheory sessions. \nWe will look at basic horse behaviour and psychology\, helping you understand why horses (being prey animals) do the things they do\, how they learn and the body language they use to communicate with and then how us (predators) often think and respond to situations very differently to them\, meaning that we often struggle to have the harmonious relationships we dream of. Whether you are on this clinic to improve and deepen an already great partnership or to get help with challenging behaviour(s)\, learning to see things from the horses point of view and understanding ‘why’ they do what they do\, as well as building meaningful communication is vital. \nSimulations. \nThese will help you improve your ‘tool savvy’\, awareness of body language\, your ‘feel’ for the horse and your timing. \nPractical horse sessions. \nIn these sessions you will begin by learning how to have your horse respect your personal space when leading and handling\, giving you more control and keeping you much safer. as well as helping the horse feel safer too. You will then learn how to play the seven games (the language) with your horse\, this will improve your communication and partnership\, helping your horse gain confidence in themselves and in you as a leader as well as becoming happier\, more polite\, more responsive and more willing to please. As we learn the seven games you will also be learning how to better ‘read’ your horse and will learn to use the games to problem solve if needed and deal with any challenging behaviour that may occur both on the ground and/or ridden. \nBy the end of the 2 day clinic you will have covered everything in level 1 of the Parelli Program.  Most people then go away and practice for a week or two to solidify their learning before moving into Level 2 of the program. If you would like to have your Level 1 officially assessed and gain certification\, this can be done live with Rachael when ready or you can film you and your horse doing the necessary tasks and submit it to Parelli. More info is available on the main Parelli site. \nBookings are via Rachael Shawyer only. Please visit her website here.
