This is the first set of equitation pattern diagrams for beginning Purple Level riders.
This set contains FIVE simple equitation patterns, designed to teach the intermediate riding skills (walk, trot, canter, lateral work) in Purple Horsemanship:
- #1 – Deceptively Simple
- #2 – Get in Line
- #3 – Ready, Steady, Whoa
- #4 – Sideways Without Stirrups
- #5 – Move Over
Use them to supplement our Purple Horsemanship Lesson Plans or adapt them for your own riding program.
You’ll find important safety guidelines and helpful modification tips in the Equitation Patterns Intro.
