Are you tired? Lonely? Defeated?

Do you know what it is like to stand alone in rejection? Criticism? Shaming?

Have you nearly lost your joy, but can't throw in the towel on your horse?

You are not alone.

Unfortunately, the horse world is full of some of the most unhealthiest people on the planet. Oftentimes, the underlying issue is the hurt other humans have caused. Research shows that many relationally wounded individuals naturally turn to animals, especially horses, for comfort, support, healing, and connection.

While many might say "my horse is my therapist," the reality is that without the right kind of human therapeutic support and healthy human interactions, the patterns of coping and survival shaped in childhood persist well into adulthood. These insecure attachment styles become problems undermining human-to-human connection and interactions.

And so the cycle continues with hurting people hurting people.

It is pervasive in society at large and is the underlying cause of so much of the drama that the horse world is known for.

Maybe you're a victim of this kind of dysfunction.

Maybe you've been wounded by another horse person.

Maybe you feel more alone and isolated than ever before because not only do you not fit in the horse world, but the human world around you doesn't quite understand the burden you feel for the horse you are committed to despite the struggle.

Well, if this describes you, you've found your place among fellow sojourners.

But this is not a #metoo kind of trauma-bonding community. Yes, we will see you. Yes, we will hold space while you heal, because this is a place of belonging. You will be heard as you become part of this herd.

This is not a community of pity parties and mud-slinging. This is a community where we will urge you to acknowledge your pain and find a path forward with the right support in place. Because this community is about a breakthrough for all while changing the narrative about the horse world one equestrian at a time.

This is not a community about traditions and disciplines and shaming each other's views. We are about busting through group-think and traditions that are harmful to humans and horses.

As liberated equestrians, we are committed to becoming the best version of ourselves through understanding a trauma-informed and neuropsychological view of horsemanship and humanship.

Are you ready to join this community of Liberated Equestrians, where you're invited into a space of belonging, breakthrough, and becoming?

If so, drop your email below. You'll be the first to know when we open our doors and we invite you to step inside and experience the freshest warm welcome you ever received.

I can't wait until that time comes.
