Natural Horsemanship - Liberty

Service Description

Our Natural Horsemanship sessions, which can lead into liberty training, open a whole new world for horses and their owners, especially if this isn't an area you have explored yet with your equine. The best thing about natural horsemanship is that it can be applied to any equine at any age and the results are incredible. Whether you're looking to improve a rocky relationship, learn how to communicate better with your equine or simply just try something new, these sessions are for you! Areas that you can expect to cover: - Groundwork: groundwork exercises form the foundation of natural horsemanship. These exercises include leading, lunging, yielding hindquarters and forequarters, backing up, and desensitisation to various stimuli. - Communication: establishing trust and respect is crucial in natural horsemanship. This involves understanding the horse's body language and communicating clearly and consistently. - Join-up: Join-Up is a technique developed by Monty Roberts, where the horse willingly follows the handler after establishing a mutual respect. - Liberty Work: working with the horse without any physical restraints such as head collars or tack. It focuses on building a strong bond and communication based on mutual trust and understanding. - Advanced Liberty Riding: in time, you could learn to ride tackless based on subtle cues. This is one of the highest forms of elite communication we can have with equines and will likely change your perception of riding. Training sessions are held at either your yard location or a local hired facility (additional hire charge may apply). When requesting to book you can choose which location you would prefer. Please make sure your equine is happy to work in the same environment as another equine. Please note that there is a 50p charge for every mile outside of a 15 mile radius of Cantley, Norfolk. Training sessions may be paid using either our PAYG (pay as you go) scheme or you can pay in advance. PRICE 1 person and equine= £32 per session. 2+ participants (equine each)= £30 per person per session.
