If you enroll in The 3 Online Summits, and don’t get all the skills, strategies & exercises you need to help you create trust, confidence & connection in everything you do with your horse, on the ground & in the saddle, using 100% kind methods in the first 14 days, just send us an email at greyponyfilms@gmail.com and we’ll be happy to give you your money back.
Frequently asked questions...
Can I get instant access to all 3 summits when I join? Yes! When you join, you will get instant access to all 3 summits, to watch anytime, as many times as you like 24/7 on any laptop, tablet, or computer you have for 36 months.
How long do I need to work with my horse each week? If you can spend one to three sessions with your horse each week, that sounds perfect. If the weather is bad, you can stay indoors, enjoy the summits & be ready when you are able to spend time with your horse again.
What type of lessons are in the summits? The summits include 54 step by step lessons, for both horse & rider & include tons of topics including groundwork, riding, liberty, brain science, R+, target training, bodywork, polework & lots more.
What equipment will I need? For the groundwork exercises you will need a halter. For riding, your normal saddle & bridle is fine :) So you should have everything you need already in your tack room!
My horse isn’t started under saddle yet, will this program be suitable for us? All groundwork exercises are suitable for horses over 3, and all riding exercises are suitable for horses 4 and over.
I’m too busy right now! If I purchase now, can I watch these summits when I have more time? Absolutely! I know it’s a crazy time in the world right now, so that’s why you get unlimited 24/7 access to all the course modules and bonuses for 3 years, on all your smartphones, laptops & ipads.
What currency are the prices in? All our prices are in USD dollars.
What is VAT? If you live in Europe, then the grey suits in Brussels have said that all online businesses have to charge Europeans VAT. I’m sorry about that. Trust me, horses are a lot simpler to figure out (!), than keeping up with all this VAT stuff!
Do you have a refund policy? If you enroll in the 3 Summit Bundle, and don’t get all the skills, strategies & exercises you need to help you create trust, confidence & connection in everything you do with your horse, on the ground & in the saddle, using 100% kind methods in the first 14 days, just send us an email at greyponyfilms@gmail.com and we’ll be happy to give you your money back.
