How to qualify for a part lease and join us 2-3 times per week on your day with your horse in a supportive community spending up to 4 hours with us. Perfect for the serious and ethical budding Equestrian. This term we are introducing this very special service at a greatly discounted rate to get you going in your part lease liberty journey.

Pass Level 1. Level 1 is the perfect introduction for both new and experienced equestrians looking to build a solid, trust-based relationship with their horses using natural communication and liberty-based techniques as well as to develop a good understanding of horse psychology. This level focuses on developing the essential skills needed to connect with and communicate effectively with your horse, exploring your boundaries, safety around horses and our herd’s etiquette.

We start with ropes and halters as we set our intentions, expectations, rules, boundaries, please and thank yous - making sure that everyone is safe whilst respecting and honouring us as humans and the horses as horses.
In Level 1, we focus on establishing a harmonious understanding of liberty work, laying the groundwork for more advanced skills and a deeper, more connected relationship with horses as sentient beings. The principles taught in this course emphasize respect, trust, and gentle guidance, creating a safe and supportive environment for both horse and rider. This allows us all to be speaking the same language as we then explore the more complex finesses of liberty.
Our horses are experts at mirroring and asking questions as well as supporting you to gain confidence building a lasting set of skills. Build trust and connection, uncover the power of energy and intention, learn essential groundwork and movement, how to respectfully set personal space boundaries, leading and following cues, stop and go cues, body positioning, groundwork patterns, focus and direction and increased understanding of horse behaviour to support you to progress to level 2.

2. Pass Level 2. Specialise in Ground, RIdden or Driven.

We will start to work on playing at liberty without a halter or rope and building trust between you and the horse and developing a connection which is more enticing to the horse than their horse herd or grass. The psychology and timing is essential to bringing joy to this interaction whilst honouring free will. Learn how your body language, intentions, attention to detail, empathy and leadership skills will revolutionise how you approach any horse in the future.
Learn the subtle cues and how to bring breathwork, intention, focus, attention to detail, leadership and empathy into the saddle to build a partnership which will exceed your expectations. To be a true horse person we must first regulate ourselves so that the horse will mirror our best version and with our tools we will support you to be a horse’s safe place. We do honour free will for both and honour if the horse declines for you to get on as this will be to keep you safe. We will support you if this happens and honour your relationship so that it continues to thrive.
We will go through the basics of long reining so that you understand the foundations and become so subtle that even from a distance the horse is reading your body language and listening to every voice and rein cue. See the happiness that this type of training brings to a horse as they feel successful in achieving such a high level skill.
