Freedom With Horses
A holistic methodology I developed over several year which recognizes and nurtures both sides of the equine/human relationship.

“Everything in life, everything that lives in this world has the same rights for life, for freedom, love, happiness, and the horse gives these possibilities to the human, you only have to hold your hand out.” Alexander Nevzorov

The A, B, C's of Freedom With Horses

Awaken your awareness to a higher degree to enhance your perception

Be...in the moment with the horse, as it is in the Now that true unity lives
Communicate using all of your senses, including your sixth sense – intuition

Some Freedom principles

The spirit of the horse or human must never be broken or tamed. It should be developed and celebrated. Freedom is something you and your horse will win with patience and practice.  It has to be win/win to be true freedom. Freeing your horse from over control will free his mind and spirit and you will discover a real sense of freedom and a willing partner.

PRIVATE LESSONS, CONSULTATIONS – BOOK FOR SUMMER, 2010
Lessons available ONLY in the summer

Theory of the Horse – discussion of their behaviour, thought processes and spiritual essence

Ground play - On line and/or liberty training - the essence of holistic horsemanship 

equal partners communicating freely, having fun
Bareback riding equitation - learning true balance and feel with your aids of seat & legs.
Bitless riding - learning that a bit is not necessary for control of any horse. Exercises with your horse will include dressage basics..
Problem solving - there are roots to every tree and every problem, and many ways to dig down

to find out why that problem exists. I will help you help your horse overcome the learning/training challenges

you may encounter. I no longer take horses in for training. I focus on preparing YOU to become the teaching partner your horse needs.

Read the story I recently published about a horse & owner that came a long way to learn about freedom with horses. - Polo’s Eyes

Freedom courses- Lessons here at Seasons are an immersion into Freedom Horsemanship.

Therefore I only offer my teaching only on an individual basis, by the day, not by the hour, so you have time to grasp, practice, relax and enjoy the learning experience. You may take 1 - 3 Freedom days here at Seasons Ranch. You receive a maximum of 5 hrs per day of lessons, which include theory, ground and riding experiences, depending on the level needed for you and your horse –200.00 per day includes accommodation.

Thoughts by Osho

[ We are all connected – all species, all living things, only man has forgotten this.

[ Intuition is how the spirit experiences reality.

[ You cannot reach the truth through a master; you can reach only to the inner master through a master – and then this inner master will lead you to the truth. You must find and release the inner guide, then you will find your own freedom.

Comments from Freedom With Horses Students
From beginner riders to competitive or experienced pleasure riders...
I have helped my students come to know what true freedom is with a horse.
Here is a sampling of their comments:

Brenda F. school principle
Thanks so much for the fabulous les sons, we all learned so much.  I feel like a little kid again, the grin on my face must have been HUGE when Czar

and I went through the water! I like your style as you provide guidance, leadership and encouragement in a quiet, comforting manner.

Barb B. You are like the Mother Theresa of horses!  Keep doing what you are doing. This peace the horse emanates with the perfect harmony

and balance is the key to this essential we all want to be aware of.

Wendy & Henry N. & Family
All our stays at Seasons are truly a treat, whether camping & trail riding, lessons or clinics.  We always come away refreshed and with more insight

from your wealth of horsemanship. We are so thankful to have met you and to be on the right "track" with our horses and for the confidence you are

helping all of us gain.

Linda C, family therapist

Thanks for a fabulous time. The girls and the moms had a relaxing and learning weekend. The horses and the off roading were great! Thanks so much!

Erin and Liam loved their lessons on their little ponies. I love the way you inspire them with natural horsemanship. Always learn so much here!
