Freedom Equine...
Welcome to Freedom Equine, on the frontline of the battle against cruelty to horses within training methodology. In a world where fear and control are increasingly our go to defense mechanisms, horses can help us to understand the ways of kindness and it's effectiveness.
I (Phoebe Norling) have had the honor of working with these beautiful animals from the age of 8 and was providing riding lessons by the time I was 15. I found myself drawn to and working with horses which were put in the too hard basket by other trainers, i.e., major behavioral issues which could not be corrected and found that controlling and fearful methodology were actually causing these behavioral issues and this methodology is what is being taught worldwide.
So I spent many years successfully re-educating traumatized horses and re-educating riders and trainers. Horses when redirected to this kind training switched out of their 'bad' behavior within literal minutes with riders and handlers often in tears of relief and happiness that they now had a positive way forward with their beloved beautiful horses.
These kind training methods do not use whips, lungeing, restriction of energy in feeds, mental or physical fatiguing, spurs, sticks, drugs, mind games etc and so the horses go from being flighty, spooky and distressed to calm, happy and relaxed within literal minutes.
There is still a great need for resource manuals to be available to the public on this kind of training and so we are currently working on a series of training manuals which people will be able to attain when finished.
In the interim you can also scoot over to Freedom Equine TV to see over 800 videos of some of the beautiful horses we have had the privilege of educating the kind way.
These videos were all taken on my very first time ever riding these horses and in most cases my first time ever meeting them, all were ridden with zero gear (no saddle, bridle, halter nothing) on my first ride and all were fed with high energy feeds and fresh.
(note: there are other riders with other methods also displayed in a few of these videos)
