Being our final level before graduating our program, we make sure our students are proficient in all the aspects of being a well-rounded horse person. We don't take lightly the right to call one's self a Silver Stirrup Graduate! In this level, all that has been covered will be reviewed so that it is a second language spoke fluently by the Level 4 student.
By the end of this level, students should be able to....
Ride at a walk, trot, and canter, controlling direction and speed in an open arena
Share arena space safely and courteously
Understand what to do in any emergency situation
Recognize and control what lead a horse canters on
Name and recognize most breeds, colors, and markings
Understand an advanced level of horse anatomy
Recognize and understand the use of different common training tools in various disciplines
Recognize proper vital signs in a healthy horse
Demonstrate knowledge in basic equine history
Recognize foods that are toxic to horses
And More...
Level 4 is certainly our most detailed level or horsemanship. If you truly have a love for horses, you'll want to soak up everything this course has to offer, and come out being a master horse person by the end!
