A Monthly Meeting to Set Your Goals and Create Your Custom Riding Success Plan
In this personal strategy system you will have one on one time with Kaitlyn, to sit down for an hour and find clarity on what you really want in your riding and what it will take to get you there. You can discuss what worked best for you in the past month and what it will be most important for you to practice next. This is time to discuss your aspirations - big or small - and evaluate what the most important steps are for you - creating simple routines to practice at home, deciding what the focus of your lessons will be, and coming out with a plan to feel clear, guided, and confident you are on the right track. |
2 Private Lessons (one will be recorded for you to review later)
These lessons will be in the same format you are used to, can be on either a school horse or your own horse with Kaitlyn’s full attention to focus on the areas most important for you. One of your private lessons will be video recorded so you can review your lesson later to remember your key takeaways, plus see your progress over time! As a Lesson Package Member, you will also have Priority Access to book your lessons in Kaitlyn's schedule. |
2 Group Lessons
The learning that happens in group lessons is just as powerful as in private lessons, because in a group you have the benefit of also watching others. Riding in group lessons will also boost your abilities and your independence as a rider, you have the opportunity to ride and practice with plenty of feedback, but not quite the undivided attention of the instructor. In addition, you can practice navigating the arena with other horses present. |
2 Practice Rides
Many times, we do our best riding when we aren’t getting instruction. When you are in a lesson you have a lot to remember and process, listening to the teacher’s feedback, making adjustments, paying attention to your horse, remembering where you are supposed to go next on the pattern you are riding… It is actually more difficult to get into a state of flow because you are always listening as you are doing. In a practice ride, you get to focus on just you and your horse, implementing what you’ve learned without new information to try and also take in. Practice rides will also boost your confidence in being able to ride without the instructor present, a very important step if you want to lease or have your own horse. |
Participant Spot in the Holistic Rider Monthly Workshops
These Holistic Horse Monthly Workshops will focus on those important parts of horsemanship that there just isn’t time to cover in regular lessons. During the workshops you will learn skills such as clicker training, in hand work, and lungeing. Monthly workshops will be held one Saturday each month, 9am-1pm. In your monthly lesson package, you automatically have a participant spot in the program. |
Unlimited Monthly Focus Practice Sessions
The focus practice sessions will be time for you to build your skills from the workshop. Through these sessions you can feel what it is like to do the same in hand exercise with several horses, for example, or to shape a behavior over several sessions using clicker training. |
