Check out Kelpie's first time trying barrel racing! 🏁 How awesome would it be if he could complete the three barrels at full speed, without a rider? 🙊 I thought he'd struggle with the last maneuver, where he has to turn away from me around the barrel, but he nailed it in no time! So proud of my smart little guy! 💪🏼
Fearless wins the first competition of the season! 🏆 It feels great to be back in the ring after taking some time off. Salvador was ON FIRE! 🏋🏼♀️ It was such a close race. We really need to step up our game for the next competition! In addition to competing in the novice class with Fearless, with Salvador and our boarder Jasper, we also started HC with our new team, Dauntless, for now also with Salvador and with Maud, who is new to horseboarding! 🏁 More about that later!
After a long break from horseboarding, I feel Salvador is ready to compete again! 💚 He's enjoying the training, and so are we. 💪🏼 We're excited for the upcoming competition season!
My favorite part of our performance ❤️✨ #libertytraining #tricktraining #clickertraininghorses #equiday2024 #vrijheidsdressuur
@equidaynl is always one of the highlights of my year! ✨ Next to our own show, we also won the liberty class of the horse agility competition! During our show, Salvador was overstimulated and disconnected a few times. ❤️ I am still very proud of him because he tried so hard! Even though he was visibly struggling with all the stimuli, going from very bright into a very dark arena with lots of noise, he did such a good job. He tried his best, and that's all you can really do. More videos coming soon! The full show and our agility course will be uploaded on Patreon soon. #equiday #equiday2024 #doitforthehorse #liberty #clickertraininghorses
Check out this clip from our first horse agility course, showcasing the flag and the scary corner, made even more intense by the gusty winds! 💨 Despite the challenges, Kelpie displayed remarkable prowess, performing admirably, and you would almost forget that this baby is just 11 months old! ✨ Salvador is seen in the background providing emotional support. ❤️😜 Stay tuned for the complete session, complete with insightful commentary, which will be uploaded to our Patreon page either today or tomorrow, depending on the editing process! #clickertraininghorses #lctecumluckykelpie #horseagility #libertytraining #coltstarting #colttraining
Today, we expanded their paddock, adding another section to their domain. They've got themselves quite the racetrack now! 🐎 #horsesplaying #stallionsofinstagram
Salvador exudes sheer badassery! 🙈 Just picture him without the ponytail! 😂 #bridlelessdressage #tacklessriding
First time in the indoor arena with Kelpie! 🤍 He did such an amazing job and was extremely confident. I had no specific exercise goals in mind; I just wanted his first time in the indoor arena to be a good experience. However, our connection was so strong that the liberty circle unfolded effortlessly. 😍 Grateful for this unforgettable moment! #liberty #libertytraining #coltstarting
Watch my horse ask me to cue a rear! 🤭 Salvador really wanted to rear and was asking me to give him the cue. 💪🏼 Damn, he delivered! I think someone is feeling a lot better! #vrijheidsdressuur #libertytraining

Lovely recall during our liberty session today in the big arena! ✨ #liberty #libertytraining #clickertraininghorses #positivereinforcement
Welcome, Rán! 🤎 The journey from Sweden to the Netherlands was quite an adventure. She spent a night in Denmark and another in a different part of the Netherlands before arriving here today. 🫢 We were quite nervous because today was the first time we got to see her in real life. 🙈 My mom purchased her without seeing, but it seems to be a fantastic decision so far! #icelandichorse #newhorse #icelandichorsesofinstagram
Salvador giving 110%! 💪🏼 His dedication shines through in every move, and I can't help but admire the effort he puts into each stride. ❤️ It's not perfect, but I love how you can see him trying his heart out. #bridlelessdressage #bridlelessriding #intrinzeninspired #positivereinforcement
Are you ready for 2024? Salvador is! I hope you all had a lovely New Year's celebration. ❤️🎉 One of the things I plan to do this year is create more content for social media. Now that we are heading towards a less wet and cold season, producing content with our new equipment will be a lot easier. 🎥 #fluffyhorse #horsetraining #libertytraining
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but a video of my horse's epic moves? Priceless.. ✨ #libertytraining #intrinzeninspired #pantherflow #positivereinforcement
It looked like the world was covered in brown sugar and cinnamon. 🍂 Went on a ride with Salvador today. The boys weren't really anxious or stressed when he left, which is great! 😅 Such a relief that we can continue with our adventures without upsetting the youngsters! #autumnforest #bridleless #positivereinforcement #freedomtothehorse
Some people call me crazy. I prefer the term happy with a twist. 🔥

Wow! 😱 Salvador was an absolute powerhouse today during our bridleless dressage session. No neckrope needed – just a clicker and food rewards! It's been a bit since I last rode him; we don't do it often. After our enlightening clinic with @nadinelindblom, I've been putting extra effort into embracing the liberty mindset, which led to a break from riding for a short while. But today, we tried riding at liberty, and the results were nothing short of amazing! 💪🏼

Here's a short video of Kelpie made in July! ❤️ He's such a cutie, and his bond with me is already growing stronger. Can't wait to see how much he's grown by this Sunday! 💪🏼 Feeling a bit jittery about his first trailer ride, but we're hoping for a smooth journey. I'll be sure to keep you all in the loop. Just three more days to go! 🐴✨
