Savvy Series Level 4 Finesse

Level 4 Finesse is where you take the building blocks of communication, both from Level 3 and from the other three Savvys, and truly achieve excellence. You will learn the essential components of riding with precision, including the importance of developing “feel” while riding, while also reaching new levels of refinement, skill, and connection with your horse. This is truly the culmination of the Parelli Levels Pathway!

This 3-DVD pack also comes with a removable pocket guide, the perfect tool for implementing patterns and games out at the barn, away from your DVD player!
