Two complete systems in one collection — the seven-module Horse Mastery System and the twelve-week Western Horsemanship System. From the ground to the saddle to the trail, whichever way you ride.
Two complete systems and five bonuses, built for every way you ride.
Before this, I would arrive at the barn with no real plan and end up repeating the same exercises. The lesson sequence gave me a clear starting point and helped me understand what to work on next. My sessions now feel calmer, more focused and much less frustrating.
I've been riding the same gelding for four years and never really felt sure about heading out past the fence line on my own. The groundwork weeks changed that. He waits for me now, and I trust what I built from the ground up. First trail ride this fall I didn't have knots in my stomach.
The riding patterns were the biggest surprise for me. Each exercise explains the purpose, the difficulty and the mistakes to watch for. That makes it much easier to choose something useful instead of just riding circles without a goal.
Bought a well-trained gelding last spring and he ignored about half of what I asked. Turned out I wasn't asking the way his previous owner did. The book walked me through resetting the pressure and release from the ground up. He responds to me now, not just to whoever trained him.
I use selected lesson pages when preparing sessions for my students. The progression is easy to follow, the exercises can be adapted to different levels and the common-mistakes sections help me explain corrections more clearly.
I train alone, no trainer down the road, and I never really knew if I was making progress or just going through the motions. The weekly checks are the whole thing for me. Either I can tick the three boxes at the end of the week or I can't. No guessing, no wondering.
You start on the ground, building a horse that trusts you and respects your space. You finish out in the open, on ground nobody set up for you. Everything you want in the saddle, you build on the ground first — in horsemanship, and in the western work on top.
Trust, respect and control before the saddle. This is where the rest of the work is decided.
Seat, hands and feel — in the order that actually holds up.
The horse you can take anywhere — and a plan for what comes after.
75+ riding patterns and exercises, organised by difficulty from warm-ups to advanced flatwork. 60 western patterns, four disciplines, three levels, five patterns each: showmanship, horsemanship, trail, ranch riding.
Not filler. Each one answers something riders deal with constantly — and none of it is buried inside the main modules. Health care and training logs come in a Horse and a Western version.
For the day something looks wrong and you need to know whether to wait or call the vet.
Nutrition, hoof and dental care, seasonal routines, vaccination and parasite schedules, emergency protocols.
Trail and ranch routines. Colic, choke, laminitis, wounds, heat stress — and what to do while you wait for the vet, not instead of calling.
Because “am I actually getting better?” is a question you should be able to answer.
Daily riding log, weekly and monthly planning, goals, progress and behaviour trackers, vet and farrier schedules.
Twelve weeks of logs, one page per session, and the check for every week, ready to tick.
Your horse is telling you something right now. This is how you read it.
Ears, eye, muzzle, head and neck, tail, muscle tension and weight distribution — as annotated diagrams, not descriptions. With decision trees: what you see, what it usually means, what to do next. And the four misreadings that get riders hurt.
I expected a few useful PDFs. What I got felt much more like a complete course. Everything is organised in the right order, so I no longer waste time jumping between random videos and advice online.
Been in the saddle since I was six. Wasn't expecting to learn much from a written program. I was wrong. The soft feel section and the way the neck reining transition is laid out taught me things I'd been getting away with for twenty years. It reads clean, no filler, no fluff.
We focused on the groundwork section first, and honestly that was exactly what we needed. Leading became easier, my mare started respecting my space and I stopped feeling like every correction had to become a battle.
I came off a green horse two summers ago and hadn't been the same rider since. Starting on the ground for four full weeks felt slow at first. Then I got back on and everything felt different. The mare was calmer because I was calmer. That's what I needed.
The Body Language Decoder is the part I keep going back to. I had always noticed changes in my gelding's ears and posture, but I was not always sure how to interpret them. The visual comparisons made everything much easier to understand.
I show ranch riding at the amateur level and the pattern section is what sold me. Sixty patterns, sorted by discipline and level, with the diagrams big enough to actually take to the arena. The common faults for each one saved me a lot of guesswork before shows.
Two complete systems and five bonuses, built for every way you ride.
Right after payment. You receive every file — both systems, all the modules, the 135 patterns, the twelve-week program and the five bonuses. Nothing is shipped, nothing arrives later, there's no waiting period.
The Horse Mastery System is built around horsemanship principles and English-style riding: psychology, groundwork, communication, balance and position. The Western Horsemanship System is a twelve-week program for the western saddle — split reins, the jog and the lope, neck reining, and western patterns. The groundwork overlaps; everything from the saddle up does not.
Not to get results. Buying one system is enough if that’s the way you ride. The collection is for riders who ride both, who are moving from one to the other, for barns with riders in both saddles — and for anyone who wants the full picture of how a horse learns.
It’s built for exactly that. Both systems start on the ground, with understanding your horse rather than riding it, and move forward one stage at a time. You never have to guess what to work on next.
Most experienced riders use the early stages as a structured refresher and spend their time in the later modules — collection and straightness, real-world riding, the soft feel, and the 135 patterns, each graded by level. If you’ve been riding for years without a written plan, the twelve weeks is the part that’s new.
That’s the whole premise. Every session tells you what to watch for, and the western program ends every week with a check written so you can judge your own work. It doesn’t replace a good trainer. It replaces guessing.
All five, at no extra cost, delivered with everything else. There is no upgrade tier and no second purchase to unlock them.
No, and it isn’t written as one. It helps you spot problems early, understand what you’re looking at, and know when something needs professional attention. For anything acute — colic, a serious wound, sudden lameness — call your vet. The handbook tells you what to do while you wait, not instead of calling.
You can teach from it and print the pages you need for your own lessons. What you can’t do is redistribute or resell the files. Your purchase covers you and the riders you teach, not a second copy for another business.
Both. Everything opens on a phone, tablet or computer, and every page is laid out to print — the patterns, the planner, the ride log and the quick-reference sheets are meant to be taken to the barn. Every diagram still reads in black and white.
No. One payment, and both systems are yours. Nothing renews and nothing expires.
