Liberty Clinic

Build Your Connection & Confidence

Discover the Heart of Liberty

Ready to discover how liberty can build your connection and confidence to improve your interactions with your horse, or the horse you lease or lesson on?

Liberty is a beautiful way to develop a foundation for handling and riding skills.

In our one-day clinic, you will learn these four key elements of liberty, which are:

Freedom of Choice: At liberty, horses are not constrained by tack or ropes. This freedom allows them to move freely and express themselves, which helps us understand their frame of mind as well as ours. Working together at liberty thus provides a way to grow with our horse by developing communication skills, deeper connection, and confidence.
Clear Communication: Effective liberty work requires clear, consistent, and subtle communication. Horses profoundly respond to body language, vocal cues, and other non-verbal signals, so we will help you recognize what you're saying in how you interact with a horse and also how to interpret what they are communicating to you.
Understanding Horse Behavior: Understanding the science behind horse behavior and body language is crucial to anticipating and responding to the horse’s needs and reactions not only in the arena and round pen, but in the barn, pasture, and off-property. We will debunk the myths about behavior and help you develop a science-based perspective that will improve your and your horse's connection and confidence.
Building Confidence through Safety: Like humans, horses need to feel safe and confident to learn and develop. We'll teach you how to assess and cultivate safety with your horse, or the horse you lease or lesson on, so that you can both continue to grow in skill to meet your goals.

lib·er·ty

the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life . . .

Join us at Concordia Stables on Saturday, October 26 from 9 am to 5 pm to find out how understanding the heart of liberty can impact your connection with your horse, or the horse you ride, and your confidence in and out of the tack.

Kaitlyn McGarvey

Owner of Concordia Stables, Horse Trainer, & Instructor

Kaitlyn is the owner of Concordia Stables, horse trainer, and riding instructor. She has worked in many disciplines from eventing to liberty performance and has a unique gift in solving relationship problems between horse and rider.

Kaitlyn's friendly, thoughtful, and kind approach to riders and horses alike make her lessons enjoyable and effective.

Kaitlyn helps riders of all levels and abilities, whether they are just starting out and looking for the correct basics, preparing for competition, or looking to rebuild balance and confidence.

Lisa Pulliam

Founder of StableMinded.us, Counselor, Coach, & Educator

Lisa Pulliam is the founder of StableMinded.us, a counselor, coach, and educator passionate about helping people stabilize and thrive. While she works with a diverse clientele, one of her specialties is serving equestrians in developing confidence and navigating through fear and anxiety. She is the author and creator of Finding Calm: Helping Riders Navigate through Fear and Anxiety, an online course with a companion book released by HorseClass.com in 2024.

Lisa has been riding horses since she was a little girl and discovered that competing at the college level was not as much fun as simply hanging out with the horses and her barn mates. She returned to riding as an adult and is living out her bucket-list dream of owning a big beautiful bay. She brought home Kodiak Jack, a rescue OTTB, in 2022. Their journey has reinforced her belief that connection, like what you experience at liberty, is key to growth and healing.

What to Expect

Everything you want to know about the Liberty Clinic Experience!

Can I choose the horse that I want to work with?

We have chosen the horses we will be using for the clinic, and you will have a chance to interact with each one. The skills you will learn will be ones you can practice with your own horse or lesson horse outside of the clinic time.

Can I invite a friend or family member who doesn't ride?

Absolutely! We'll be starting with the basics and building as fast and deep as each person is ready to go!

Is this just for equestrians?

The clinic will be geared towards those currently riding and horse owners. However, we welcome beginners and will customize our teaching to meet the needs of our participants!

What should I wear to the clinic?

You'll want to wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting dusty and dirty. Since we will be outside for most of the day, please plan on layers that will protect you from the sun, wind, and light rain.
