New Horse, Now What? Start Off On The Right Path With Your New Horse | Relationship, Groundwork, & Riding

Often people will contact me for help with their new, young, or green horse. 
 
It’s sometimes not until we have a new horse that we become curious and start to question how we can ‘best’ set up this new relationship. 
 
Problems may arise with a new horse that we might not have had with a previous one, and we wonder how we can best help them. 
 
It’s common to be a little afraid of making mistakes with a new horse, as not to ‘tarnish’ the new relationship.
 
In this episode, I talk about how you can start off on the ‘right’ path with your new horse so that you can have a healthy happy relationship with them AND achieve your riding goals.

Liberty Training with an Ethological Approach and Positive Reinforcement with David Lichman

David Lichman is a 5-Star Master Parelli Professional with a specialty in Liberty Horses. He teaches worldwide, helping students find a better relationship with their horses, and the relaxation and posture fundamental to all riding.
 
David has performed with his three-horse act, which includes bridle-less riding and riding to music. He is the creator of the DVD set Liberty Outside the Round Pen, enabling students to play at Liberty with exuberance in large open areas. David lives in California with his wife, two children, nine horses, four dogs, four cats and dozens of chickens, pigeons and canaries.

The Art of Classical Equitation with Belinda Bolsenbroek

Make a better life for horses...
~𝑩𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒂 𝑩𝒐𝒍𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒆𝒌
 
Belinda rides dressage in a way that makes you stop and go: 'I want what she's got!'
 
The horses look happy, athletic, and light. She is poised, elegant, and clearly an effective rider with very subtle aids.
 
It's how dressage is supposed to be!
 
When I saw videos of Belinda riding (and hearing her chat with Manolo Mendez and Andrew Turnball), I just *had* to interview her on the podcast to hear more and share her horsemanship ethos with the world...
 
Belinda Bolsenbroek is an international authority on the Art of Classical Equitation in which the historic relationship between horse and human is expressed as a spiritual connection between two beings. 
 
Belinda harnesses the wisdom of the Old Masters, combines that wisdom with the science of biomechanics and shapes them both into a clear and defined practice that allows you to take your horsemanship to the next level.
 
In this episode, we discuss:
 
⚜️ Belinda’s upbringing with horses from competitive riding on Dutch warmbloods, international competition, Olympic ambitions and her turning point towards classical dressage.
⚜️ Belinda’s healthy and holistic approach to training horses.
⚜️ The evolution of competitive dressage and why many classical riders don’t compete.
⚜️ How contact should feel when it is based on connection not force.
⚜️ Belinda’s interests in the thoracic sling, and nervous system of the horse.
⚜️ The importance of reflection and questioning in your horsemanship journey.
⚜️ Belinda’s viewpoint on contact with the reins and how it should feel. 
⚜️ Her interesting answer to the favourite horse purchase question! I think Belinda might be starting a new trend with this one!
⚜️ All the usual fun horsemanship breakthroughs questions.
⚜️ Plus so much more!

Pure Liberty with Andrea Wady

“It’s never too late to change”
👉🏼 Click here to find out all about Andrea's Pure Liberty course: https://uu202.isrefer.com/go/pureliberty1/adh/
 
Andrea Wady has been riding since she was a child, competing in showjumping and endurance, and later running a successful horse tours company… but she always felt something was missing and wanted more in the relationship with her horses.
 
Moving to Costa Rica from the UK, Andrea’s journey took a turn down a path to find a way to connect with horses without coercion. Crossing the country of Costa Rica with fellow liberty trainer Elsa Sinclair (the creator of the Taming Wild movie series) they explored bonding with two very damaged rescue horses through movement and a liberty mindset.
 
Through this experience and years of study, Andrea found the missing piece in her horsemanship and the essence of creating relationship with horses. Andrea is now dedicated to helping others improve the relationship, trust, and bond with their own horses.
 
She is also the author of the newly released book ‘Crossing Bridges’ where she shares the enlightening journey of exploring Costa Rica on foot with the 2 damaged horses with the liberty mindset that she now teaches as ‘pure liberty’. 
 
In this episode we discuss:
 
Andrea’s horsemanship journey from the traditional “make them do it” approach, to forming friendships with rescue horses across Costa Rica jungle
Andrea’s realisations when she first attempted liberty with no equipment or treats
Being open-minded, flexible, trusting yourself, and getting past your ego when being with horses
How we as humans solve problems for our horses too much
Listening to your horse as a basis for happy horse training
Transcending physical cues in training horses
What is the concept of Pure Liberty, and how to get involved in doing it with your horse
The #1 mismatch between horses and humans
Andrea’s book recommendations and her favourite horse-related purchase
Why it’s never too late to change your path or approach with horses
Plus so much more!
