WHAT TO EXPECT AT A LIBERTY CLINIC

The morning commences at 9:00 am with a brief chat moving then into charging our horses up to the bridging signal; the foundation of this clinic is positive reinforcement.

 

Foundation Groundwork exercises are introduced, establishing just where we are with our horses and a starting point.

 

Leading Exercises, controlling the hind and shoulders, the backing is all established on the line and then with a neck rope.

 

We have a play with a few obstacles building our horse's confidence in us and teach our horses a simple trick.

 

For those interested, we will discuss how to use positive reinforcement under the saddle.

 

On the final afternoon, we have an opportunity to work one-on-one with Mandy removing our lead ropes and practising advanced leading.

 

WHO CAN ATTEND THE CLINIC?

The clinic is suitable for all ages and abilities; children can attend if accompanied by an adult who can provide hands-on help.

We will be charging our horses to a bridging signal; you are going to use heaps of treats; suggestions are to bring some of your horse's regular feed or purchase a bag of low-calorie horse cubes, not pellets as these are too small, Prydes and Mitavite make a large cube size horse feed.
