Learn the secrets of Liberty with the world-renown trainer and recent star of Cavalia
Sylvia Zerbini has wowed audiences around the world with her "Grande Liberte" performance, where she directed as many as eight horses at liberty. She is now coming to the Pacific Northwest to share her secrets to build a stronger bond with your horse, develop effective communication at Liberty and advance your horse/human relationship.
The
Clinic:
Day 1: How to Create Mutual Respect
Students will be asked to release their horse in the round pen--no bridle, no halter--to erase any memory in the horse's mind of what they may have previously been asked to do. Sylvia will teach her approach to true natural horsemanship... liberty without shaking a bag on the end of a stick, chasing the horse around or shaking a lunge in the horse's face. Students will learn how to achieve mutual respect and create a bond of trust that enables horse and human to work as partners.
Day
2: Communication and Responsiveness
Building on the respect learned on the first day, Sylvia will have students encourage behaviors that create a positive memory and achieve the horse moving around their partner, both close-up and at a distance. She will also teach the verbal and non-verbal signals that trigger desired behaviors in order to create a horse/human dance.
Lessons
Private and semi private (two people) lessons are for those who wish to work at their own pace and with focus on their specific challenges and goals. Any level of liberty experience is okay, but you will want a good, responsive relationship with your horse to maximize your time and Sylvia's knowledge.
