Learn the freedom, fun and joy that come from

working with your horse at liberty

There's nothing quite like experiencing that connection with no strings attached.

When it's going well it can seem almost magical that your horse is with you and listening.

But, what happens when your horse decides to up and leave? What do you do? What if you're in a field and there's grass?

How do you become more magnetic than the green stuff?

That's exactly what this course will teach you.

Not only how to prepare your horse to give you the best chance that they will WANT to stay with you. But also, what to do when they leave.

Because, let's face it - it's going to happen!

Even if you've done no liberty before or if you did your horse left and went to the other end of the arena.

If you want to start right working with your horse at liberty this course is for you.

Why Foundation Matters...

Foundation is all about clear communication and essential skills.

These are the basics every horse needs to feel safe, confident, and easy for anyone to handle.

On the ground, this includes:

  • Groundwork for Liberty

  • What you need to know to be successful working with your horse at Liberty

  • What to teach your horse before you let them loose

about lyla...

Hi, I am Lyla and I believe that success with horses comes from understanding and connection.​

I have been teaching across the UK, Europe and internationally for over 20 years.

I specialise in providing a unique blend of horsemanship principles alongside sensitively applied traditional ground and ridden techniques for riders of any discipline to achieve transformational results with their horses.​

I believe that horses are happier and will respond better to training in any sphere when they understand your expectations and you understand theirs.​
