The Gold Program live sessions are usually held mid-week alternating each session between New York and Sydney evening times. 

All Laura Graves' sessions will be New York evening / Sydney middle of the day / NZ early to mid afternoon

You're not expected to attend all or any sessions live, it's optional. All sessions are recorded and available on demand on video and audio with accompanying notes.

You sure will (if you'd like to!). The monthly Training Huddles are level-specific opportunities for you to submit a training or test video for review with our trainers, or simply to discuss a training topic without video.

Working with different trainers in the team is one of the joys of this program!  Each has a unique style that fits seamlessly with our overall system and approach. 

Trainers may change as required for scheduling purposes, however the assigned roles are:

Laura Graves and Brett Parbery on rotation for:

- Monthly training video

- Month live training seminar

- Live Summit Climb Huddle 

- Private High Velocity team (by invitation) 

Melissa Galloway:

- Young Horse Pathways Huddle

Emma Weinert and Brett Parbery on rotation for:

- Live Everest Trek Huddle

- Live Base Camp Huddle

- Live Pre-Climb Huddle

Emma Weinert:

- Training challenges 

When you join you'll be invited to share some information for our team to review, and we'll suggest a personalised pathway for you.

Firstly we'll work with you to decide on which would be more beneficial, Dressage Breakthrough or Dressage Essentials.

Within the Gold Program, your personalisation will include one of the following Training Huddles:

- Pre-Climb (training up to and including USDF First Level / EA Novice level), getting the foundations solid!

- Base Camp (training at USDF Second Level / EA Elementary level), working on the flying changes!

- Everest Trek (training USDF Third-Fourth Level / EA Medium-Advanced), getting the collection well underway in preparation for FEI levels.

- Summit Climb (FEI levels), this final climb is more challenging than all the others combined!

- Young Horse Pathways (3 to 7 year old horses educated roughly in line with the FEI Young Horse level standards)

You'll be invited to participate in your specific Huddle, and you'll be provided with Huddle-relevant training exercises and challenges.

Our team will also suggest any suitable Mentor Groups relevant to you, where you can share challenges and be guided by an experienced mentor.

A small number of riders performing strongly will be invited to the High Velocity Team for performance-specific mentoring in addition to their Training Huddle.

Part of your Bundle includes enrolment to either Dressage Breakthrough or Dressage Essentials.

Both are self-guided training system courses.

After you purchase the Bundle, we'll be in touch with some questions and we'll make a suggestion for you, ultimately the choice of course is yours.

Dressage Breakthrough

Best for riders already confidently competing USDF First Level / EA Novice Level right through the FEI levels. 

Works through Brett Parbery's system of aids and horse-friendly training, designed to enhance your training of the fundamental dressage techniques and support you in improving advanced dressage through better basics.

The course is based on PDFs and Video Trainings.

Dressage Essentials 

Specifically designed for riders training at or towards the lower levels (up to USDF Second / EA Elementary) for the first time, or the first time in a long time.

Includes the same core concepts as Breakthough but delivered in a more step-by-step format with less risk of overwhelm for less experienced riders.

The format is a monthly topic with short training video, PDF workbook, and 3 guided audios each month.

This is a thorough learning over 12 months that will very well set you up to progress.

It's delivered as four different stage options to best suit where you're at right now.

We'll deliver you directly to your Classroom!! You'll immediately be able to see the 2025 Gold Program, Resilient Riders, and bonus training resources.

You'll be sent a welcome email (check your junk folder).

Then you'll receive an email with some questions so we can present a personalisation plan for you.

You'll start to receive our weekly Friday updates for the Gold Program and invitations to join the live sessions.
