Foundations Mentorship
The Foundations Mentorship is an all-inclusive, in-person training experience that covers three core dimensions of building a successful training program: 1) Horsemanship, 2) Personal Development, 3) Business, Marketing & Brand Building. On the horsemanship side, this experience will focus on the training principles from Phil’s signature Foundation to Finish program, helping you master the foundational Level 1-3 exercises.
