What can I expect?
Each week begins with a meeting with Carmen or Maude to assess your needs create a plan for the week.
The basic package includes a Q & A session with an instructor around coffee at 930 and coaching with your horse for a minimum of 1 hour 5 times per week usually in the morning.
Depending on your needs and how intensive you like your experience to be, additional options are possible:
- Horsemanship sessions, you can add from 1 to 3 hours, total is maximum 4 hours a day.
- Theory and simulations (horseless) please check topics below.
Details will be decided during the first meeting and can be adjusted as you go.
Theory and simulations sessions are given in the morning after Q&A.
You can choose topics you’re interested in, that will complete instructor’s chosen topics. Those are additional options and are added to the basic package.
The afternoons are free for additional coaching sessions, practicing what you learned, observing instructors in action or additional activities. This option is ideal for a full immersion with a program that is personally adapted and is a great option if you would like to come with a friend that is not playing in the same Level as you, or if you need to combine time with your family and time with your horse as or if you cannot be here all day long.
There is also plenty of opportunity to take advantage of observing Carmen and her team of instructors when they develop horses and teach (teaching can be in French, English, German or Italian). You can also take time to study the Parelli program from the resources in our extensive library, the content and design of your day is down to you!
