Clinics are 1,2 or 3 days of learning theory, principles and philosophy of the Parelli Savvy system. Beginning Level 1 is for the beginner student and focuses on basic skills, safety, and building a rapport/relationship with your horse. Advanced Level 1 expands on the 7 games and riding with 1 rein and halter. Level 2 focuses on building confidence in yourself & your horse, winning the 7 games, positive reflexes, and impulsion strategies. Level 2/3 focuses on taking you from Level 2-Level 3, filling in the gap. Level 3 is about flexion, refinement, liberty, and further communication on the ground.

WORKSHOPS:
Workshops are usually a specific focus in the levels program. Examples are: carrot stick riding, parelli puzzles, impulsion games, Level 3 online introduction, Level 1 riding, transition and lead changes. Workshops are usually 3 hours long in the morning or afternoon. The cost is $100 per student, with a minimum of 6 students.

PRIVATE OR GROUP LESSONS:
Private and group lesson topics are determined by the student in whatever they need help in. Private and group lessons can be scheduled at any time with the instructor at her private ranch in Valley Center, CA. If the instructor needs to travel, private lessons are available for students living within 20 miles. Private and group lessons are available for those living further, if at least 3 students attend with a minimum of 3 hours instruction time.

Travel expenses will be added to the above fees and vary according to distance. This will also include lodging and meals if overnight stay is required.
VIDEO/DVD COACHING:
Video coaching is available for $75/hr. For those students who may not be able to attend a clinic or lesson and would like some help via video. I will spend time watching and responding the challenge the student may have. It usually takes me 2 hours to watch and comment on a 1 hour video. Only 1 hour will be charged. Send a self addressed stamped return envelope if you would like your video returned.
