No. Every horse is different. These schedules are meant as ideas, not strict rules. Go slower if your horse (or you) needs more time, and always talk to a trainer or professional if you’re unsure.
Yes. Many riders repeat the same 30-day plan a couple of times so it feels easier and more familiar before moving to something more advanced.
That’s normal. You can simply pick up where you left off, or stretch the plan over a longer period. Progress is more important than perfection.
Some plans may be better for green horses than others. If your horse is very green, young, or has a history of physical or behavioral issues, work closely with a trainer and your vet before following any schedule.
Well as you can see from the courses above it really varies. There are of course a ton of free resources and on the flip side you could easily send your horse to a trainer for 30 days and spend $5,000+ (depending on if you have to ship your horse, the boarding fees, farrier, trainer fees, if they take the horse to shows, etc). It is all going to come down to what your horse needs and your ability, experience, and goals. While there are a ton of great resources available, how they are used is so important and there is nothing wrong with getting professional help from a qualified trainer. It is always better to be safe and create a positive experience for you and your horse.
