If you are using your phone, I suggest downloading the Patreon app rather than opening the website in your phone's browser.Step 1. Create a FREE Patreon account. You will not be charged unless you choose to enroll in one or more educational tiers. There is plenty of free content posted, if you prefer not to enroll.Step 2. Decide the best starting point for you.<ul><li>If you simply want to enjoy some gorgeous eye candy and follow my own journey with my herd, you don't need to select a Tier. You have already created your free Patreon account - sit back and enjoy the regular free posts.</li><li>If you are just beginning with horses and have little or no background knowledge about horses and want to start learning, but aren't sure about committing to the full package of Tiers AND you don't want personal coaching or a private community to share questions and ideas, I recommend the Getting Started* Tier</li><li>If you have some horse knowledge already, or are interested in a particular Tier but don't want the full package or personal coaching or community chat, you can enroll just in one of the 6 topic-based Tiers.</li><li>If you want to save money or are interested in all the Tier topics, you can purchase the entire bundle of 5 Tiers for only $10, a savings of $14 per month. This Get It All Tier does not include personal one-on-one live coaching or the private community chat group.</li><li>If you want personal coaching and access to the private group chat, then choose the Get It All + Mentoring Tier. You save $ and get personalized support throughout your learning journey.</li></ul>*A special note about the Getting Started Tier - this tier is where you will find all the very basic step-by-step articles and checklists. This is also the tier that talks about your personal horse dream - your fears, your hopes, figuring out your "why", answering basic questions like how many horses or what kind of horse.Step 3. Now that you have decided what Tier is best for you, click the Membership tab at the top of the page. Once on the Membership page, scroll down until you find the Tier you want. Click the black Join button. You will be prompted to enter your payment information to enroll.Step 4. If you have enrolled in a Tier, watch your email for my welcome message. Your welcome message includes an invitation to a free private chat with me and the herd to talk about your horse dream. If you don't see that email within 24 hours, check your spam folder.
