$1,600/monthLevel 1 — Finished Horse
For finishing and refining an established horse. This level builds on what is already there and may include finishing the horse in your chosen discipline. These horses receive five working sessions or rides per week and usually need less groundwork than continued-education and colt-starting horses.
$1,800/monthLevel 2 — Continued Education
For horses with at least 20 rides that are continuing in the direction of progress. Most receive daily groundwork along with the riding and working sessions appropriate for the individual horse.
$2,000/monthLevel 3 — Colt Starting
For horses with few or no rides. They usually start from the ground up with daily groundwork. Rides depend on the horse, but these horses are normally worked every day—and sometimes more than once a day.
