The art of Liberty can be summed up!  “When you take the halter and lead rope off, all that’s left is the truth”

Liberty is the ultimate test of your connection.

For the Horse;

Liberty helps your horse work on his gymnastic improvement and overall athletic capability. By creating good self carriage without a rider, a horse develops better posture and movement overall, which translates very well to the saddle.

For the Human:

Playing at Liberty helps you develop more control over your energy. As your horse learns to follow your suggestion, you learn how to be more effective and clear in making your suggestion. You learn the exact amount of energy it takes to get your horse out at a trot and at a canter, you also learn how to be more precise in your body language when you want your horse to back up, come forward, change direction, or make transitions.

Experience how your connection on the ground sets you and your horse up for Freestyle Riding, with or without a saddle…. a strong connection at Liberty can be the difference that makes the ‘difference’
