“I used to do my three exercises and then just circle until I felt guilty and quit. Now I clip a card to the fence and actually ride the whole hour. Best twenty-nine bucks I've spent on this horse.”
— Dana R., ranch riding, Montana
“I was sure you couldn't work on reining without a trainer watching. You can't replace one, but this filled the six days a week I ride without one.”
— Tom H., reining, Oklahoma
“Not another pile of YouTube clips. It's leveled, so I finally know what to do first and what comes next.”
— Karen L., horsemanship, Idaho
↓ What's inside
Everything You Need for a Ride With a Purpose.
Inside the system: three leveled pattern libraries plus the deck you take into the arena, built for the rider who trains alone and wants one place to check before the next ride.
Library I
Reining patterns & drills.
~55 reining patterns and drills, leveled L1 to L3 and sequenced: circles, spins, lead changes, rollbacks, and stops, in the order that actually builds the maneuver.
- Leveled L1→L3: start where you are, always know the next step up
- Sequenced, not scattered: each drill sets up the one after it
- Full-pattern practice: run the pattern cold before you ever see a pen
- Between-lessons ready: work the six days a week your trainer isn't there
Library II
Ranch riding patterns & drills.
~50 ranch riding patterns and drills, leveled L1 to L3. Home-practicable by design: walk, trot, lope, extensions, side-pass, and backs, no cattle and no arena drama required.
- No cattle needed: every pattern runs in an ordinary arena, alone
- Leveled progression: clean gait transitions before you chase the fancy stuff
- Show-ready patterns: ride into the pen knowing it cold
Library III
Horsemanship & trail patterns & drills.
- Horsemanship maneuvers: ~45+ leveled patterns for precision, position, and control
- Trail obstacle work: poles, cones, backs, and gates you can set up at home
- L1 to L3: a clear ladder from tidy basics to competition-ready runs
In the Arena
The Ride-Along Arena Pattern Cards

✦ Who we are
Built for the rider who trains alone.
If you're looking for a guru with a named method and a decade of clinic videos, this isn't that. That's on purpose. Most Western training is sold to instructors and their lesson students, and priced like you've got a trainer on retainer. The rest of us ride alone, or squeeze in one lesson a week and figure out the other six days on our own.
We built this for that rider. Not a course, not a coach, not a subscription that bills you every month whether you ride or not. Just a real, leveled plan you own outright: what to work on, in what order, and a deck you take right into the arena.
Because you shouldn't have to run out of ideas at the 15-minute mark ever again.
— The Knowhow Co., Oregon

30 verified rider reviews
★★★★★
Clipped the card to my fence on day one. Rode the full hour. Done.
★★★★★
ok so i dont usually leave reviews but three weeks into the L2 reining drills and my lead changes are actually happening?? i thought i just needed more lessons. turns out i needed a plan between them
★★★★★
BOUGHT THIS ON A WHIM AND NOW I USE IT EVERY SINGLE RIDE. THE SESSION PICKER ALONE IS WORTH IT. ZERO AIMLESS LAPS SINCE FEBRUARY!!!
★★★★★
i just wanted something i could print and take to the barn. this is exactly that. no login no video no waiting. open it, pick the card, ride.
★★★★★
Twenty-nine dollars. I spent more than that on a bag of grain last week. For a library I keep forever with 150 patterns leveled start to finish?! Easy math.
★★★★★
Been riding 30 years, got my own place six years ago, and honestly just circled until something felt off then quit. The level ladder showed me I was skipping steps I did not even know existed.
★★★★★
not for people who want a course to watch. this is a DO thing. you print it or pull it up on your phone and you ride. that is the whole deal and it works
★★★★★
The progress tracker surprised me. I filled in four weeks and could actually see where my stops got more consistent. Before that I was just guessing whether anything was improving.
★★★★★
I figured you basically needed someone watching to get better at reining. You do need a trainer eventually. But this filled the six days a week she is not there and those days finally count now
★★★★★
my trainer noticed a difference before i told her i was using anything extra. that was enough for me 👍
★★★★★
Bought it two months ago. Still opening it before every ride. That tells you everything.
★★★★★
Thought it would be just another PDF dump. It is not. The sequencing is the actual product. Knowing that drill 4 sets up drill 5 sets up drill 6 is what no free YouTube playlist ever gave me.
★★★★★
loped aimless circles for two years. bought this. have not loped an aimless circle since. review over
★★★★★
The ranch riding library runs clean in a small arena. I was worried about space but every pattern is designed around an ordinary setup. No cattle, no problem, no excuses left honestly 🙃
★★★★★
Reining L1 drills are genuinely beginner friendly. Did not feel dropped in the deep end. Each one has a clear purpose and the next one makes sense right after. That progression is rare in anything free or cheap.
★★★★★
i keep the card deck in my grooming bag now. grab horse, grab bag, go ride. no more standing in the middle of the arena trying to remember what i was going to work on
★★★★★
Does exactly one job and does it very well: tells you what to ride today and why it matters for tomorrow. That is the whole problem it solves. Problem solved.
★★★★★
Rode between lessons for years and never felt like I was building anything. Downloaded this on a Thursday, had a real structured session by Thursday afternoon. The session picker got me going before I could overthink it.
★★★★★
three libraries plus cards plus bonuses. instant download. no subscription. i keep waiting for the catch and there is not one
★★★★★
Genuinely did not think a printable system could replace the feeling of someone telling me what to do next. It does not replace a trainer but it absolutely replaces the blank stare I used to get 15 minutes in.
★★★★★
works on my phone at the barn, printed cards on the fence, tracker on the kitchen table. one purchase, every device, no hassle. that flexibility matters more than i expected
★★★★★
Bought for horsemanship, ended up using the ranch riding library just as much. The poles and cone work transfers. Two libraries for the price of nothing extra is a good deal.
★★★★★
I write reviews maybe once a year. Wrote this one because I have recommended this to four people at my barn already and it felt wrong not to say something here too. The 90 day guarantee got me to try it. The L2 drills got me to stay.
★★★★☆
Solid resource. Format is clean, leveling is logical, sequencing makes sense for how maneuvers actually build. Got through L1 ranch riding in about three weeks of regular solo sessions. Now working L2. Does what it says.
★★★★☆
My horse is greener than I am so I stayed in L1 for six weeks and the system never rushed me past it. The ladder is there when you are ready, not before.
★★★★☆
I compared this to three free pattern sets I already had. Those gave me shapes to ride. This gives me shapes, levels, order, and a reason for each one. Not the same thing at all.
★★★★☆
short version: used to quit at 20 minutes. now i quit when the card runs out. huge difference.
★★★☆☆
Honest take: the horsemanship library could use a few more gate obstacle variations at L1. That said I have ridden with more direction in the past month than in the previous two years of solo work. Still a clear yes from me.
★★★☆☆
Small nitpick: I wished the PDF bookmarks were a little more granular so I could jump between levels faster on my tablet. Minor thing. The actual content is well organized and I use it constantly.
★★★☆☆
I am 61 and not very tech savvy but my granddaughter helped me download it and print the cards and now I just clip them to the gate and follow along. Simple as that once you get it printed.
Questions Before You Order?
Any questions? Contact us at info@theknowhowco.com — we will reply within 24 hours.
Is this for riders without a trainer?
Yes. It's built for the rider who trains alone or rides between weekly lessons. Everything is leveled and sequenced so you always know what to work on next, no coach standing there required. Riders who do have a trainer use it to make the six days a week they ride solo actually count.
Can I really improve without a trainer watching?
A trainer catches things you can't feel yet, and this doesn't pretend to replace that. What it replaces is the aimless circling on every ride you do alone. Structure, sequencing, and a plan you can follow turn wasted sessions into purposeful ones, which is where most solo progress actually comes from.
Is this a course?
No. It's a download-and-keep library of patterns, drills, and cards, plus tools to plan and track your rides. No videos to binge before you can start, no login, no schedule. You open it, pick today's session, and ride.
How do I receive the files?
Instantly. Right after checkout you get a link to download all three libraries, the Ride-Along Arena Pattern Cards, and both bonuses. It takes about a minute, and it's yours to keep forever.
Can I print everything?
Yes. The Ride-Along Arena Pattern Cards are made to print, laminate, and clip to your fence. The Session Picker and Progress Tracker print too, or fill them on a tablet. Print what you want, as many times as you want.
How is this different from free YouTube?
Free clips are scattered: no order, no “what next,” no way to know if you're actually building anything. This is 150+ patterns and drills leveled L1 to L3 and sequenced, so every ride has a purpose and builds on the last. You stop guessing and start progressing.
Isn't this just the free pattern PDFs I can already get?
Those give you raw patterns with no leveling and nothing to do between them. This organizes 150+ patterns and drills into a beginner-to-advanced ladder across reining, ranch riding, horsemanship, and trail, plus cards you follow mid-ride and tools that pick your session for you.
Can I use this on multiple devices?
Yes. Download it to your phone, tablet, and computer. Read it at the kitchen table, take it to the barn, print the cards for the arena. No account, no limits.
What if it's not for me?
You've got 90 days. Ride your first sessions, and if they don't feel more purposeful than the aimless circling you're doing now, email us for a full refund and keep every file you downloaded. Questions? info@theknowhowco.com, we reply within 24 hours.
