Hey Everyone! I’m excited to be part of the Liberty at the Lake seminar and clinic where I will not only demonstrate liberty with my own horses, but will also teach a horse that does not know liberty how to do liberty live during the seminar alongside one of my horses.

Liberty is one of the most natural things you can do with a horse. Not only are you able to create a connection and relationship at liberty, but you are also able to use liberty to test your connection and communication.

So whether you are advanced in your horsemanship, or are a complete beginner, liberty is for you. My horses and I hope to see you there!

You can sign up to either audit, or come with your horse here: https://www.taylormadeperformancehorses.com/event-details/liberty-at-the-lake

Feel, timing, and positioning are the three things that really affect how good your groundwork is. If any one of them is off a bit, it can really affect the clarity of your communication and the outcome of the interaction with your horse. So pay attention to the details and really focus on each thing you do. It’s all the little details that add up to create the big picture of how well you are communicating with your horse. The people who are really good simply do all the little things better than everything else, because that’s what it really all goes back to at all levels. 😊

Natural horsemanship is not a discipline, it is a way of doing what you are doing. It means you are trying to communicate with your horse in a way that naturally makes sense to her and works with her nature instead of against it.

Whether you’re English or western, do jumping, reining, cutting, dressage, trail riding, eventing, roping, and so on, you can choose to do it in a way that naturally works with your horse and for your horse, or you can choose to do it in a way where you basically try to figure out how to force your horse or bribe your horse to do what you want.

Personally, I want my horse to be a willing partner, that doesn’t feel forced or bribed, but does feel connected, cared about, trusted, and valued. I want her to trust me, respect me, want to work with me, to feel like we are doing things together and I am doing things with her instead of to her. Fortunately, that can all happen regardless of what skill or discipline or job I’m doing with her.

So if someone asks you what you do with your horse, remember that natural horsemanship is not a discipline or activity, but it’s simply a description of how you are interacting and communicating with your horse.

Less than two weeks away! Reserve your spot today. If you've ever wanted your horse to be softer on your hands and legs, to lead better, or just respond with softness in general when you ask him to do something, then this one day clinic is for you. I will teach you how to create that soft feel that makes horses easy and enjoyable to ride as well as nice to handle on the ground. So whether you are a more advanced beginner who just needs to create a responsive horse in general, or whether you are an advanced rider that is needing softer and more subtle communication with high level maneuvers, I hope to see you there! Riding spots are limited, please register using the link below. Auditors welcomed.
