For those who don't know the term, 'Liberty' is the state of being free from restriction, being able to do as you wish and go where you want. When this is applied to training horses, liberty training relates to any work done with horses while they're loose, without a rope or reins, so they have the freedom to move around at will. Working at liberty helps horses learn to relax in the presence of humans. Restraint can tension because horses feel trapped. Horses are claustrophobic by nature and a lot of anxiety can be generated when you take away their option for flight. Dream Boy is being trained by Dawn's grand-daughter Erin and he follows her around the ring under his own free will and is able to move without restraint. "He loves the ground work as well as the riding," said Dawn. "We are always getting lovely comments and are often asked where he comes from." Dream Boy is one of dozens of horses rehomed through our retraining scheme. You can start your own dream by visiting our rehoming page. |
