Show Notes

Do you ever feel like your horse is glued to you, making it tricky to ask him to give you more distance?

Or do you worry that your horse will disconnect from you the moment you ask him to increase the distance?

If so, this episode is for you!

When your horse can give you distance and still remain connected, there is SO much more you can do together! This creates opportunities to work with playful energy safely, allowing your horse to move freely without restricting himself to stay by your side. It’s also one of the key elements for developing collection at liberty!

In this episode, I’ll share: 🔹 3 key reasons why creating distance is a game-changer for liberty work. 🔹 5 actionable strategies to help your horse move freely yet stay connected.
