As creatures of habit, horses learn quickly and readily through patterns. Parelli Patterns go far beyond the figures! They give horses and humans security and confidence. The rider can show his horse that he has a plan and thus become a good partner for his horse. Patterns also encourage our creativity and we remain progressive.

Confidence with Cows – stress-free handling of cows for beginners
We want to show you low-stress stockmanship – how we can work together with horses and cattle in a relaxed way. The horses learn to be self-confident with the cattle and to deal with new situations in a relaxed manner. The riders learn important aspects of the psychology of horses and cattle and important preparatory exercises – which are combined with a lot of fun! However, this weekend is not just about cattle work, but above all about giving our horses more meaning and purpose. After all, don’t we all feel valuable when we have a purpose?

Spooky Horse Course
How to make your fearful horse confident!
This weekend we will focus on anti-spook training.
Encounters with tarpaulins, umbrellas, baby carriages, tractors, bicycles or whatever your horse has problems with are often a challenge in everyday life.
We will show you how you can be a confident partner for your horse in difficult or new situations. The goal is a horse that thinks for itself and does not behave like a flight animal.

Level 3/4 – Refinement and excellence
The main topic in Level 3 is impulsion – the balance of energy up and down and thus remaining emotionally balanced. Because only relaxation and energy can lead to good collection without tension. Then there is the new Savvy Liberty!
The theme of Level 4 is flexion – i.e. the physical shape of the horse – because now we can work on the physical balance with a mentally and emotionally balanced horse. The new Savvy Finesse is added – riding with precision and contact.
The weekend is great for anyone who is at one of the two levels and wants to progress.
