Standing proudly on his pedestal, holding his “I Love You” sign with no lead rope just heart, partnership, and pure connection. Another fun step in mark training at liberty!

Bayou Liberty ILHA, today was so much fun as our ladies began side passing with their horses! The smiles on their faces said it
all. There’s nothing quite like the incredible feeling of connecting with your horse and moving together as one. Moments like these remind us how powerful trust, patience, and partnership can truly be. International Liberty Horse Association

Give NOLA Day is TODAY 💙 This is a rescued liberty horse changing lives!
Dreamer is more than a rescued horse… he’s a healer.
“After my trauma, I couldn’t sleep… but after a few sessions with Dreamer, my nightmares stopped.”
“The day he let me put that goofy hat on him… I laughed for the first time since my abuse.”
“Watching Dreamer find happiness after being adopted, (I was just adopted a month ago) he helped me believe I could feel happy too… now I’m finally moving forward.”
This is the power of a rescued horse rescuing people!
They don’t just heal, they help people find themselves again.

Give NOLA Day!
Meet Mystic, one of our rescues, learning liberty (Dan James style) & loving being connected to people.
Mystic is a rare American Cream Draft the only draft breed that originated in America. With his pink nose, pink around his eyes, and sensitive skin, Mystic is prone to skin cancer and needs special UV-protective gear to stay safe and healthy.
But to us… Mystic is so much more. He’s our magical unicorn.
One mom shared that before her son began cancer treatment, he met Mystic… colored his wishes on Mystic's body, dipped his hands in magical glitter paint, closed his eyes, and made a wish. She later called in happy tears, sharing that her son held Mystic's picture during his very first treatment, and how much comfort and strength that brought them both.
This is who Mystic is. This is what he does.
Please click the tab below to help Mystic continue his healthy journey and keep granting wishes to those who need it most 💙

The beauty of liberty…
A girl and the rescued horse she loves, moving together in perfect connection no ropes, just trust. Watching them trot side by side says it all… this is what partnership looks like. 💙

Freedom, laying down at liberty… no halter, or bridle just trust, body language, patience, and understanding the horse’s mind.
This is the beauty of true partnership, and there are so many fun possibilities when you learn to talk horse.

From the moment Seven arrived, I wasn’t sure he would make it… a halter embedded in his nose, every rib showing, severely dehydrated, and covered in inches of matted hair from neglect.
Three months later, look at him now. Stronger, brighter, and choosing to trust again. Yesterday was his very first liberty session, and he showed us all what’s possible.
Using the methods of DanJames/Double Dan Horsemanship, I know this incredible horse is on his way to becoming a true liberty star.
Follow his journey with Bayou Liberty ILHA … where healing, freedom, and partnership begin. 💙 International Liberty Horse Association Double Dan Horsemanship Samie Ledyard

True connection isn’t forced, it’s felt… and in liberty, a single hand signal becomes an invitation the horse wants to follow.

Liberty day with our youth crew.
Today we worked on loose lead at liberty, practicing a clean halt between two cones—and wow, the personalities really showed!
One of our stars nailed it: straight, square, and perfectly parked like a pro.
Meanwhile, another decided the real job was helping his 2-legged partner… by politely taking the dressage whip, as if to say, Excuse me, I think you forgot to square up!!!
Some horses aim for perfection, others aim to please… and some just keep us laughing the whole time. Either way, we love watching these partnerships grow.
Please reach out if you would like to join our liberty team.
