Gold Level is the third and final level in the HorseCentered curriculum, designed to introduce advanced ground training skills and the theory required to train a horse ethically as well as effectively.
Unmounted Gold Level lessons will deepen students’ awareness of equine and human body language, and help them demonstrate partnership and refined communication throughout their ground training practice. Gold Level students are encouraged to consider the mental and physical benefits of ground training and to apply problem-solving skills to a variety of common training scenarios.
These Levels are designed to accommodate a variety of different groundwork approaches, with the goal of creating well-rounded trainers who can choose and use methods while prioritizing partnership and the horse’s well-being.
