Intro to Liberty - Understanding your Horses Body Language on the Line -

If you have ever wanted to know how to begin liberty with your horse, these are the building block basics to get you started! Communication is clarified when we are actually listening to our horses and acknowledging that we hear them. In this video you'll see all the exercises I use when I start working with any horse.

Gentling a Mustang - The first two days with a Wild Mustang (Moscato) - 

Every mustang adjusts differently to domestic life, this specific mustang was a little bit of an avoider, reactor, and freezer. In just two days, watch her eyes soften and her begin to trust the connection. Moscato was used for the 2023 Magic competition with these videos taking place in September 2022. All mustangs don't have one set method, but you can see a few of the tools I use to communicate with all mustangs.
