What is Liberty Training?

Liberty training embodies the essence of freedom and the connection between horses and humans. It involves working with horses without the constraint of ropes or reins. This allows for natural movement and expression, fostering a deep bond between horse and rider. Professional liberty trainers showcase remarkable feats, from performing tricks like rearing and bowing to mastering lateral movements without any tack.

The Benefits of Liberty Training

Engaging in liberty training yields numerous benefits for both horses and humans. Participants often find that their horses become more responsive and connected, leading to enhanced performance under the saddle. Moreover, liberty training enhances horsemanship skills, as trainers spend ample time observing and understanding their horse's behaviour and movement. Many riders relish the challenge and reward of liberty training, appreciating the unique bond it cultivates.
