Liberty Training helps you to connect with your horse on a much deeper level, more emotionally and spiritually.
Everyone wants to have their horse as their best friend. No matter what you are doing you should feel as though your horse is completely centred around you and ultimately your best friend.
Liberty training not only helps you to connect with your horse more emotionally, but I have also found that using the round pen creates a much more understood relationship between me and my horse no matter where I am or what I am training. Whether I be out on the trail, doing a demonstration in front of thousands of people or simply riding in the arena. My Liberty/roundpenning has helped to teach my horse to always check back with me about what we are doing and how we are both feeling.
Training your horse in Liberty can take you as far as you desire with your horse, not only will it create a much deeper connection and understanding between you and your horse it can offer so much more, relaxation , trust, partnership, you can train your horse to come to you at Liberty , float load at liberty , go over obstacles at Liberty, lead at Liberty , tricks at Liberty, the list is endless , you will also find Liberty training can be very healing for you or your horse, itâs also extremely beneficial in creating a better riding horse.
Liberty training is very powerful and rewarding and can be built to a point over time where you can take your horse over obstacles without touching a lead rope or point to the float and your horse will load without you touching them , or let your horse go in an arena and then call them back to you and they will lock on and stay beside you and not leave, these are just some examples of where liberty training can take you.
About Horsemanship/confidence clinics:
Sandi Simons Clinics are attended by 6-10 participants and are normally held two days over a weekend. âSome Groundwork is the basis of where Sandi starts to then transfer into ridden work, after all your horse must be safe and predictable on the ground before you put yourself in the saddle. All Sandiâs groundwork is ridder simulated so everything you train on the ground is the preparation for any ridden work, Sandi has a system to âaskâ the horse if he or she is ready and prepared to be ridden, are they listening, do they have established safety cues and responses for when youâre in the saddle? (THIS IS A MUST HAVE)
Sandiâs also understands that everyone has different needs as no horse or person is the same or in the same situation, this is what makes Sandi such a unique clinician her ability to tailors her clinics to help everyoneâs personal needs in some way. You will be given the tools to go home and work on with lots of things to practice.
Sandi will provide you with the opportunity to train your horse in a manner that develops obedience, flexibility, and balance for any discipline. It doesn’t matter what horse you ride, lead, breed, size or age, what saddle you ride in western, stock all purpose or dressage, what discipline you ride in western, dressage, eventing, endurance, show, show jumping, trail riding, pleasure riding, adult riding club, or whether you are a nervous ridder, a beginner, an experienced rider, or ‘of that certain age’ and getting back into horses isnât what it used to be. Her Clinics can help anyone.
There is no standard required nor is it discipline specific. All that is needed is you, your horse.
The clinic will focus on you being set up with a plan of success that will not only raise your confidence within yourself but also between you and your horse.
