Learning Levels Downloads

Helpful information about this resource:

These simple equitation pattern diagrams are designed for very young beginning English or Western riders in Rainbow Level Horsemanship. The set contains five simple equitation patterns, revised in 2026 to teach leadline or ground-buddy assisted walk-trot/walk-jog riding skills:

  • #1 – X Marks the Spot
  • #2 – All Around the World
  • #3 – Ice Cream Cone
  • #4 – Rattlesnake Road
  • #5 – Over the Rainbow

Use them to supplement our Rainbow Level Lesson Plans or adapt them for your own riding program. You’ll also find important safety guidelines and helpful modification tips in the Introduction.

We’ve been blessed with many talented photographers over the years: students who voluntarily stood in sweltering/ freezing arenas, capturing lifelong memories of lessons, camps and shows. We’re grateful to all of them!

One former student, Delaney Witbrod, is now a professional photographer with a gift for animal portraits – see more of her fine work here. We’re also grateful for photos of Western riding donated by LLPro instructors – particularly Bit of Pleasure Horse School and Joyful Hearts Photography!

You’ll find illustrations throughout our online courses and printed materials graciously donated by our friend Rhonda Hagy. Evan Surrusco contributes additional illustrations and handles most of our photo processing. Contact us for information about their work.
