The Art of Liberty Training for Horses
Trafalgar Square (Verlag)
978-1-57076-689-3 (ISBN)
True liberty, says Jonathan Field, is much more than simply removing equipment and stepping outside the pen or arena; it is moving with your horse, communicating only with intention, and creating a seamless, smooth, and rhythmic dance.
'When you do liberty right, you become one with the herd,' he writes, 'and not only do you develop an amazing connection with your horse, but it's one of the most fun things you'll ever do.'
Developing communication skills and your relationship with your horse through liberty benefits all that you do, whether on the ground or in the saddle, whether competing or riding for pleasure. Quick responses to subtle clues, clear aids, and a relaxed attentive horse: these are the keys to liberty, and they are also objectives when you ride, drive, or interact with the horse on the ground.
With Jonathan Field's step-by-step liberty training method, you learn to have a better 'feel, to reward the horse sooner and to time your aids just right to ensure you get the response you want. Plus, discover how to approach things from the horse's perspective - an important key to getting a horse to act because he wants to, rather than because he has to.
Fabulously illustrated with hundreds of action-packed photographs taken on Field's spectacular ranch in British Columbia, this book can change the way we are with horses - and change the way horses are around us.
'The horsemanship journey doesn't end with liberty,' writes Field, 'it's just the beginning of the journey.'
Jonathan Field is a highly acclaimed natural horseman who has helped thousands of people achieve amazing results with horses through his teaching. Each year, Field and his family, spend half the year touring and teaching across North America. The rest of the year, Field manages two teaching facilities: the Field Horsemanship Center in Abbotsford and the James Creek Ranch in British Columbia, USA. In addition to live appearances at clinics, seminars and hosting intensive camp programs, Field regularly writes articles for equestrian publications and has produced a home-study DVD course about horse training.
