Did you know that you can move your horse's legs with your mind? 🪄✨
In my latest online training video, Lena the Baby Fjord and I show you how to use intention and focus to move one leg at a time! Here's a little snippet from the video. You can see the entire session by joining the Online Program! DM me for details!
I’ve got some lovely horses for on-site lease available in Elizabeth, CO! Short and long term leases available!
All leases include lessons both on the ground at liberty and under saddle (if desired!) Lease fees are dependent on each horse’s needs, but they are budget friendly for those who need some horsey time and don’t have a horse of their own. Minimum 1 day per week and can go up to 4 days per week!
🦄 15yo Gelding. 15.2hh. FUN under saddle. Knows basic liberty work. Needs intermediate rider under saddle and on the ground.
🦄 18yo Mare. 16hh. Knows it all. Liberty, tricks, and bridleless riding. Safe and kind. Needs attention and cardio 😉
🦄 12yo gelding. Advanced liberty horse. Trained under saddle but has had time off so would be good for someone wanting to learn all the riding preparation stuff and how to bring their own horse along!
Shoot me a message if you’re interested! 🥰
Defensive horses are the most commonly mislabeled. People call them aggressive, b*tchy, mean, rude, pushy, etc. But, at their core, they are simply trying to protect themselves.
I have a new young filly in for training who has been regularly handled her whole life by a loving owner, but has never found any peace or relaxation with humans nor has she been able to soften her defenses. She is inconsistent in how she shows up to sessions -- sometimes she is fine to be caught, other times even just putting the halter on can be an anxiety-filled task.
So, she's here to see if we can get to the bottom of it and set her up for a life of happiness, relaxation, and joy instead of bracing and defensiveness.
I am filming a lot of her journey for my online members but wanted to share a little snippet here of her session yesterday, where we went from bracing and refusing to be touched to softening and resting while my hand was on her face.
✨ The message I share around the 2-minute mark of this edit is one that I am so passionate about and believe is very important for all of us to remember. And so, I wanted to share it here with all of you. ✨
Thanks for watching 🫶🏻
It’s the horse training tip of the day!

Some subtlety work at liberty with Cornetto 🩷
I chose to share this entire video because I think it demonstrates the level of detail I go into when beginning liberty work. I want the horse to learn to follow my shoulder and feel relaxed and good about the connection, finding focus without it being forced.
I want him to keep track of my body and what it’s doing and where it’s going, all while maintaining the good, soft feelings of friendship and mutual respect.
It might look “boring” to some, but I’ve found it’s an integral part of the building blocks that create a truly engaged liberty partner — not one who is only there because it’s really hard for them to leave.
