Each Mastery Program is required to fulfill the requirements of becoming a Training the Whole Horse® Certified Master. To be accepted in to the Training the Whole Horse® Certified Master program you must demonstrate accomplished riding skills (maintain your seat and control at a walk, trot and canter) or have had nine (9) months of consecutive riding lessons with Missy Wryn or one of her Certified Masters. You also must purchase the Training the Whole Horse® KIT and have studied the DVD series in preparation.
STARTING UNDER SADDLE MASTERY PROGRAM
The Starting Under Saddle Mastery Program is the first step in becoming a Training the Whole Horse® Certified Master. There are two levels to achieve Starting Under Saddle Mastery. You must bring a horse that has not been started under saddle* for these courses.
- Level I teaches herd language, herd leadership, equine anatomy, and functions of the horse both physically and emotionally while preparing and conditioning the horse with groundwork and training techniques to prepare the horse for the saddle.
- Level II is advanced techniques, in addition to riding under saddle bitless at a walk and with some horse’s higher gaits.
The Starting Under Saddle Mastery Program Levels I & II are provided in a course of 2-days scheduled separately throughout the year. Level I must be completed before continuing to Level II and you must be a Starting Under Saddle Master before you can apply to the subsequent program for Training the Whole Horse® Mastery Certification.

IRON FREE MASTERY PROGRAM
The Iron Free Mastery Program is designed to take the newly Started Under Saddle horse to the confident and trusting level of riding Iron Free (no bits – no spurs). Expanding on Level II of Starting Under Saddle Mastery you and the horse will learn and/or refine moves such as backing up, turning, turning on the haunch, turning on the forehand, drop rein whoa and the ever present emergency handbrake. From the walk to the canter the horse’s emergency handbrake will be refined to the position of the safe and loving place when all else fails.
- Level I Program picks up where you and the horse left off from Level II of Starting Under Saddle Mastery Program. Understanding and refinement in the lower gaits as well as turns, cruise control and the emergency handbrake are the accomplishments of Level I.
- Level II adds control at the higher gaits with emergency handbrake refinement along with confidence and trust in riding skills.
TRAIL RIDE MASTERY PROGRAM
The Trail Ride Mastery Program is the final course which Starting Under Saddle and Iron Free Mastery certification must be completed before registering. Upon completion of the Trail Ride Mastery Program and the subsequent Mastery programs you will be awarded and recognized as a Training the Whole Horse® Certified Master. The Trail Ride Mastery program courses are only available during drier seasons and/or drier trail conditions (see schedule for course dates and locations).
- Level I is an introductory to the trail on the ground with the goal to end in the saddle. A skilled experienced lead horse will be present.
- Level II is the completion of Trail Ride Mastery with all three gaits displayed under control and water crossing. A skilled experienced lead horse will be present with the final day goal ending on alone time with horse and trainer on the trail.

*The horse you bring must not have had any saddle training. The Starting Under Saddle levels are foundational to the Training the Whole Horse® Mastery Certification and the horse's responses are critical to the process of lyour learning. Many students bring a horse that is loaned to them by a friend who shares in the expense of the Mastery program since the horse owner ends up with a trained horse - something to consider.....
