We have “concepts of personal space” 💀😆
A little liberty sequence we’ve been working on lately.. i love how these three maneuvers flow so well from one to the other 😍 getting ready for putting together our 2024 routine 🥰#libertyhorsemanship #libertyhorse #friesianhorse
Use code JCHT100 for 100$ the Equine Bodywork Online program! They offer so many different audio guides to walk you through how to do body work on your whole horse. The techniques are incredible gentle but have a very profound effect on my horses. I love having this tool to be able to keep my horses feeling good and deepens our relationship ❤️#equinebodywork #lusitanohorse
Does your horse roll in the arena if you give then the chance? If not, have you asked yourself why? And is there a way that you can encourage or show them it’s ok to do so? Sometimes that means actually teaching them to go down on command. Both of my horses never rolled in an arena before I taught them to go down on command. It’s hard to believe because that is now the first thing they both do when u let them free in the arena but that only happy after I showed them it was an option. #horsetraining #libertyhorsemanship #younghorses #clickertraining #clickertraininghorses
Cooley (Chesty’s half brother) is coming along just the way I like it. Slow, calm and steady ❤️. He was actually a really sensitive/reactive youngster when i started with him (not that youd be able to tell in this video 😅). We gave him the time he needed and he’s rewarding us with his trust and willingness to work. #classicaldressage #younghorses #friesianhorse
Zigzags with Zamando ☺️. It feels so good to be back into a routine with him, he’s making so much great progress. #classicaldressage #lusitanohorse #washingtonstate #horsetraining
First time trying to pop her over some little jumps ❤️. I’m so happy with how she’s coming along. She’s gotten so much more focused over the last couple weeks, it feels like we can really start working seriously. 💪It’s so nice to have my own baby that I get to bring along from the start ☺️. #lusitanohorse #classicaldressage #horsetraining #bareback #bridleless
Who remembers when i shared my first rides on this horse..?
already 3 years
ago, he’s 6 years old now 🥲❤️and still every bit as perfect❤️
I started introducing
some little jumps into his training.
Friesians may not be particularly gifted jumpers but with the right training every (healthy) horse should be able to do some low level cavaletti and jumps. I think I actually quite enjoys it 😉#friesianhorse #classicaldressage

The boys got introduced to our new smoke machine… 🤪 we’re going to need some more desensitization work but for never having seen anything like it they actually did really good. Of course Galahad was the bravest one and Eros was not interested in participating in our antics 🤣.

The boys and I are hard at work on our new liberty routine for this year’s upcoming performances 🤩! We aren’t doing any crazy new tricks but they are getting more fluid and consistent so I am super happy with the progress.#friesianhorse #libertyhorsemanship
