“Sanctuary, on a personal level, is where we perform the job of taking care of our

    soul.”

- Christopher Forrest McDowell

The liberty horse program provides the opportunity for individuals to spend time one on one with one of our equine ambassadors in a variety of activities from grooming and socializing, to an activity course and riding. While safety is practiced, the goal is not to “learn to ride” but to experience a giving and trusting relationship built on mutual respect and communication. By using the Equine Ambassadors as a sort of mirror of the soul, growth and healing is able to flourish without the restraint of feeling judged or looked down upon. A horse has no preconceived notion of who you should be, they only seek to find comfort, safety and trust in their human partner.

Liberty Horse Program

Why is it called Liberty Horse?


When a horse is worked “at Liberty” it means there are no physical forms of restraint or control on the horse. The “control” of the horse is founded on a strongly bonded relationship in which the human communicates in a more natural method with the horse and the horse willing chooses to comply. We believe this describes the relationship and freedom many people find when they spend time with our horses, and the horses, in return experience freedom from anxiety and cruelty where they can truly blossom.
