Biography
I developed my love of liberty when touring with Apassionata as part of the Knights of Iceland team. Falling in love with the discipline, when the tour ended I asked for a member of their liberty team, French trainer Lillian Debade, to show me the ropes. From there I developed my own methodology based on equine learning theory, balanced movement and positive partnership with my wonderful equine partners. I have performed around the US, competed in Liberty with my mare Soldis, who was fourth in the Pro division of the International Liberty Horse Freestyle Championships 2020 as well as Pro High Point Horse 2020. I also have demonstrated liberty work in performances in Iceland. In my courses I show horses throughout the process, as opposed to the usual method of showing the process on a horse who has already mastered the technique. I hope that my students develop not only the know how to do the tasks that are laid out in the course but also the feeling of trust and a bond that gives you the confidence to dream of something and problem solve how to acheive that idea together with your equine partner!
