Here is part one of the Herd Liberty class day one from the Labor day weekend clinic. This is a unique way to observe herd behavior and practice exercises inspired by herb culture and equine social behavior. I allowed the participants to choose and let the horses choose who they wanted to work with. The horses/human pairs turned out perfect and they had a great time working on all the exercises right up to mounted during the three days. Enjoy the video and keep a look out for the next installments.

Hi Farah,
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your video. Did a very similar thing recently with a group of 15. Do you have your human group learn the energy up & down and the inner intent first with each other? I found it a good way to especially teach what you call 'the release'. Cheers, Hertha
Hi Hertha! Thanks for your comment. I prefer to do things in real time and let events unfold organically after we explore safety and boundaries. I find it is where the magic and learning happens and the horses always step up as fantastic teaching assistants :)
