Question 1

Why don't you offer a monthly subscription?

Accepted Answer

Pay a one time fee instead of a subscription which you may not be using (life sometimes happens right?).

Question 2

What is the difference between the 1Y* and Unlimited* Online Course?

Accepted Answer

1Y* means that you will have up to 365 days to complete each course, even though most students finish each course within a few months. This provides you with a deadline to motivate you, but not to overwhelm you or to rush you. When purchasing the course, you can decide what day you want it to start.

Unlimited* gives you unlimited access to the course for 20 years. If you are working with multiple horses, plan to get another horse in the future or you would like to rewatch the videos and revisit the instructions later, this is the best option for you.

Question 3

What should I expect with each course?

Accepted Answer

One small step at a time which is marked off as you make progress through the course. Know where to start, where you are at and where you are going.

Question 4

Which course should I start with?

Accepted Answer

If you are new to Mirka's program then we suggest that you start at the beginning. Even if you are an experienced horse person. We need to make sure that you do not miss any of the important foundational steps which you will build on, that you get clarity in the system of cues and do not miss any other very important details.
 
There are 2 very important theoretical Foundation Courses - Become Unstoppable, Connection and Harmony, which you can take along with the practical course. Make sure to sign up for those as 80% of your success will depend on the knowledge gained in those courses!
 
In the practical courses, start with the Intro Posture Focused™ (PFT) Course, then go to the Novice PFT Course and then go to the Intro Liberty Course, Novice and then Intermediate. It is very important that you start in the PFT courses before the liberty courses as those are the prerequisites to liberty and will take confusion out and bring more clarity in for you and your horse. Confusion is the #1 reason of disconnect at liberty! Plus your horse will achieve a better balance to be able to hold himself on the liberty circles without crowding you or leaking away from you.

Question 5

How do I know if I'm ready to move to the next course?

Accepted Answer

To complete each of the Levels, each student will submit a 10-minute video and receive feedback personally from Mirka. She will then either pass the assessment or give you pointers on how to achieve a better quality at that particular level. This assessment serves as a check point before advancing to the next level, so the next level isn't a struggle for you and your horse. Anyone can move to the next level without this assessment, but it is not recommended.

Question 6

Will it always be the same horse?

Accepted Answer

Horses in these courses are at the particular level shown, so you will see Mirka troubleshoot common tendencies. There will be more than one horse in each course to demonstrate the process. Usually, one more sensitive with more go (maybe even slightly emotional) and the other less responsive (maybe even acting pushy and dominant) with more whoa.

Question 7

Where can I ask questions and get support?

Accepted Answer

Once you purchase each course, you will be able to  share your progress with other students who are in the course. You can comment, ask Mirka or other students questions or share a video of your progress. This private social group is built within this website (not on social media).
