So Alex and I didn't get to attend the Liberty Festival this year. Wednesday morning, while turning out horses, I received an eye injury which resulted in bleeding between my cornea and my iris. The Dr basically put me on bed rest to prevent my eye from rebleeding which can result in permanent vision loss. I am extremely heartbroken to have missed it and missed seeing everyone but I'm sure Alex enjoyed the weekend off.

It's crazy what a little freedom will do for an insecure horse 🩵

Little 13yr old Kelsey would be shocked by all she has been able to do at liberty and bridleless.
I got inspired by Heartland after season 5 aired and taught my pony to target the end of the whip and then would just run with it so poor Jedi would have to chase it to target it 🥲 and same concept for riding "Bridleless". I would stick the end of the whip on either side and have him "target" it to turn and stop. I can only imagine how frustrating it was for him 🤣

Well Alex and I applied for the 2024 ILHA Liberty Festival Invitational Freestyle 🤞🏼
It's been almost a year and a half since I trained Alex on the compulsory patterns and I can definitely tell we were rusty. Here is to hoping we pulled it together enough to score us a spot for the freestyle! (and time to get back in the arena and brush up on our pattern work 🫣)

(This unfortunately was the only video we got of our demos this weekend)

Don't be afraid to put the halter/bridle back on!
With liberty and Bridleless riding, once you take the halter or bridle off, everyone always wants to stick to keeping it off. This can sometimes hinder your horse's well being.
I'm all for training and teaching new things without them. Just ask my students, I rarely go back to the halter/bridle. They are important tools though!
As a lot of you know, Alex is an extremely anxious horse, especially when it comes to the canter. He has a history of bolting, bucking and rearing. He recently outgrew all of my saddles and they started causing him discomfort which has brought on a lot of anxiety again with the canter.
Yesterday, during our ride, I couldn't help him find any relaxation at the canter. Some horses thrive with light contact on the reins and Alex is one of those horses. By sticking the halter on and giving him that light contact we were able to work through a lot of his anxiety and end the ride with a nice, relaxed canter.
It was far from perfect but he lost a lot of the tension in his body. He was able to lower his head and bring his back up under me and he wasn't tossing his head.
We get into liberty and bridleless riding to benefit our horses but keep in mind we have tools to help our horses. Don't let your pride get in the way of your horse's progress and well being. Sometimes our horses want us to hold their hand and help them through scary and emotionally stressful situations. 💕
