How active are the weekly livestream events?
The Weekly Livestream events are a core feature of the membership, providing real-time training sequences, demonstrations, discussions, and Q&A segments that allow you to actively participate, ask questions, and receive answers from an expert.
Can I start the program as a beginner with no prior experience?
Absolutely! The Basics in Hand Course is specifically designed to get you started with foundational horsemanship skills. Whether you’re new or seasoned, this course ensures you build strong communication and understanding with your horse from the ground up.
What if I need help implementing what I’ve learned?
You’re never alone! Aside from the Community Forum, you can participate in The Horseman’s Hotline to get personal feedback and advice directly from Ashley. This direct access ensures you’re set up for success.
Is there a trial period before committing?
Yes! You can join the membership with a 30-day trial for just $1. This gives you full access to all the resources and features. If you choose to stay beyond the trial, the cost is $49 per month.
Do I have to make any long-term commitments?
No. You are free to cancel your membership at any time, right from your Dashboard. Access to membership content or features related to your membership level will remain available for you until the end of that payment term.
Our commitment to your satisfaction goes beyond providing high-quality content and community. We believe that part of respecting our members includes making it straightforward for you to leave if you decide that our membership is no longer the right fit. To reiterate, you can cancel your membership at any time directly from your Member Dashboard, with no hoops to jump through. We’ve always disliked products that make it hard to unsubscribe, and we’ve ensured our process is as easy and hassle-free as possible. Your freedom to choose what’s best for you is a priority for us at The Savvy Equestrian.
Can I cancel the membership at any time?
Yes, there are no long-term commitments required. You can cancel your membership at any time with no penalty.
What’s included in the Yearly Membership?
The Yearly Membership offers everything in the monthly package, but with the added benefit of Quarterly private Zoom Consultations to offer you personalized guidance along your journey, as well as a 25% Discount over the monthly option.
Will my Membership price ever increase?
No, absolutely not. Whatever pricepoint you start your Membership with is the price you keep for the life of your Membership. So, if you start with the One Dollar Trial, whatever your full payment is after your first 30-Days, is the price you'll keep. We will be increasing prices periodically, as the value inside the membership continues to increase. But, as long as you don't cancel, your price will always remain the same. Though, changes in membership level will default to current pricing at the time of upgrade or downgrade.
Also, we recognize that life can be unpredictable, and sometimes, taking a break is necessary. To accommodate these circumstances, we offer the option to Pause Your Membership for up to 6-months. During this pause period, we’ll safeguard your current pricing, so when you’re ready to return, your membership will resume just as you left it. This feature is designed to give you peace of mind, knowing that you can take the time you need without losing the value of your investment in your horsemanship education.
How active are things inside of the membership?
Our content libraries are continuously expanding, ensuring you always have fresh, innovative resources at your fingertips. From a fresh Livestream events every week, the latest Courses and Clinic Demonstrations to new Horse Development sessions and Quick Wins, The Horseman's Hotline, and new Downloadables and Challenges, we’re constantly adding content to keep you inspired, effective, and progressive with your horses.
What if I have questions about the instruction?
Every equestrian has unique challenges and questions, and we’re here to answer them. In the Community Forum, weekly Livestream sessions, as well as The Horseman's Hotline, YOUR questions take center stage. This is your opportunity to get personalized advice from a horsemanship professional. It’s not just about providing answers; it’s about offering solutions that work for you and your horse. With The Savvy Equestrian, you’re never alone in your learning.
Is the membership simply a library of content?
While the content is a big portion of what we do here at The Savvy Equestrian, the intention is to make this platform far more than just a membership for content; it’s meant to be an invigorating community. Here, you’ll find a welcoming space filled with horse lovers who share your passion and dedication. Whether you’re seeking advice, inspiration, or simply a place to share your horsemanship stories, our Community Forum is the perfect place to connect. Together, we’re building a world where every interaction with our horses is informed, intentional, and filled with understanding.
Are the downloadable resources available for offline use?
Yes! The membership includes access to Downloadables like PDF guides, which you can print out and take with you to the barn for easy reference.
Is the membership suitable for all disciplines of riding?
Absolutely. The principles taught in The Savvy Equestrian apply to all riding disciplines, whether you’re focused on competition, trail riding, or simply building a better bond with your horse.
What equipment will I need?
You don't NEED any particular equipment to start. Of course, we do recommend a horse! But even that isn't a requirement, we currently have members that do not have a horse, and are absorbing knowledge for when their life allows for it again, or for the first time!
There are certain tools that we highly recommend within our curriculum, with guidance on why they are recommended. But, nothing is NEEDED to begin improving your horsemanship with us.
Do I have to attend any classes directly, or on a schedule?
For the most part, no. The content available, at either membership level, is freely available for you to view and study at your own pace. We do have many live events in the form of the Weekly Livestream, as well as The Horseman's Hotline every month, and it's recommended to attend them live, but the Livestream events are archived, available for viewing whenever you please, and any questions you may have about any piece of content can be posed in the Community Forum, or by commenting directly on the content.
What technology is required?
A computer, tablet, or phone... and an internet connection. That's it!
How do I get started after I join?
Once you join, you’ll gain instant access to all features, including the Basics in Hand Course and Weekly Livestreams. You’ll also receive consistent email communication, straight from me, about all resources of the membership. I always recommend members start out with the Basics in Hand Course. The principles you’ll learn within the course really are the foundation of essentially everything I teach.
