The Horsefulness Liberty Connection Program 

The complete program for horsewomen who desire a strong,
natural connection with their horse

You're not made for the dominance based training methods. Forcing and pressuring the horse goes against your nature as a gentle-hearted horsewoman, and the sensitive nature of your horse.

There's another way. More natural. More meaningful. More joy and fun for both. But also more effective, more lasting, and so much more fulfilling.

Let me show you the way  🡣

The Alternative

It took me some time before I was convinced to join the program. I did not know Karine, nor did I hear about the program before so I thought some time if I should invest my money and also my time in it. But, my experience is very positive.

It is exactly the alternative to the common training methods I was searching for and is even more than I expected.

Being an animal psychologist specialized on horses I can say that Karine has a wide experience and a large expert knowledge with horses. Even if I do not always have questions myself I can also learn from the answers she is offering to the other members. Karine is able to answer all the different questions and she takes all the time that is needed to do so.

Even though I already had a very good relationship with my horses before and the handling and attitude with them was quite similar I found many „little“ things that I now integrate in our daily contact.

It is not so easy to describe, but the program is boosting my cognition and mindfulness when being around horses. To me the program is an enrichment in many ways.

I would absolutely recommend Karine and the program and I also use elements during the training with my customers. I believe that it can change people’s attitude and the relationship with their horses in a very positive way.

Rock Bottom

Before I joined up, my ponies and I had hit rock bottom and I was looking for something rewarding, relaxing, and nurturing for us all. There are an awful lot of different 'ways' to be and work with horses.

 I come from the south west of England and there is a strong belief here of 'what can I get my horse to do' rather than working in partnership. My doubts were whether this was right for us all and really whether I could trust someone I had found by accident on the internet.

Well, I think the program is wonderful. I like the way I can fit it in with my job, home life and horse life. I have not ridden at all since starting the programme and for once I don't feel guilty about it.

Considering Karine is in another country I feel very supported. I can ask questions whenever I need to and the webinars are excellent, the nearest thing to having Karine with you in the arena.

I have two horses who are very different and reacting in different ways and I sometimes struggle as I am unpicking some of the groundwork I have done in the past. They have both benefited from my much more relaxed approach to our time together, they are both happy, healthy and relaxed and we are having some real connections. I have changed my mental approach and we are all benefiting.

I would not hesitate to recommend the programme to others, who know there is a lot more to learn and also for those who are not being fulfilled with what they are doing with their horses. Karine's programme is very fulfilling and makes me happy.

What is the horsefulness
Liberty Connection Program?

It's an interactive home study program designed to help you connect with your horse in the most natural way.

In this program you build trust, develop your body language, learn to read your horse's signals and interact without force. All exercises are done in liberty, providing the most natural way to interact and build a strong foundation for training. This approach ensures your horse is confident and trusts you as a leader.

The course includes 10 modules, starting with the Foundation module, where you'll learn how to generate the energy you want to see in your horse. Modules 1-8 guide you through Horsefulness Training Liberty Connection Work with videos, PDFs, schedules, and MP3s, helping you avoid common mistakes.

Also, you will have access to the Facebook communtity where you can ask me your questions. This means you're not left on your own. Throughout the program, you'll receive personal guidance and support for any questions or issues.

any of these sound familiar?

The moment your horse sees you entering the pasture with a halter in your hand, it quickly runs the other way. You're feeling rejected because your intentions are genuinely good...
Your horse is afraid of people because of former traumatic experiences.  Even though you give your horse plentiful of care and loving attention, there still remains some form of aloofness and distrust. You want to help your horse to regain trust in people and the human world. The realization that you're unable to do enough to help your horse flourish, strikes a deep chord in your heart.
Your horse can be very obtrusive and sometimes even tries to bite or kick you, whereby you can become quite scared. You don’t know how to deal with this in a friendly way. People give you the advice to slap your horse and because you don’t have any alternative you sometimes follow this advice, feeling guilty afterwards...
You have a deep passion for horses, which has led you to pursue various lessons and workshops. Increasingly, you find yourself questioning certain "techniques" presented as "natural training." While you notice your horse is "obedient", you also start to experience discomfort with the methods you apply to achieve it. You sometimes wonder if there could be an alternative approach—one that both you and your horse can feel at ease with, where "obedience" isn't the focus.
When you train your horse – at liberty or in groundwork – it's very hard to get your horse’s attention. No matter what you try, it seems you horse is interested in everything but you. You would love to find a solution for this so your horse is less fixated on his environmnent and more interested in you.
While being and working with your horse, you might find yourself investing a lot of effort with little result. Your horse might not react at all or might respond differently than intended—going against your aids, running away, becoming agitated, pulling, or pushing. Some people suggest that your horse is dominant and stubborn, advising you to be firmer, but such an approach often yields the opposite results. Your true aspiration is to communicate subtly yet effectively with your horse, making activities together enjoyable. Unfortunately, now, you mainly feel impatient and frustrated….
You're in need of a coach that will guide you, give you advice and motivates you when you need it

This how I am going to help you

You'll discover that by doing less, you can gain more trust from your horse and nurture his curiosity. I'll guide you through experiencing the importance of 'doing nothing' as the foundation for everything you'll do with your horse. It's also the starting point for EVERY problem you aim to solve (and this is not an overstatement)."
You'll learn how to be assertive and set healthy boundaries without making your horse feel you're being harsh or disrespectful.
You'll understand how to ensure your horse feels comfortable with you and knows that you respect it, allowing it to express his opinions without consequences. You'll also learn how to alternate between taking the lead yourself and giving leadership to your horse. Additionally, you'll discover how to address dominant or defensive behavior without compromising its trust and how to foster a deeper connection.
You'll be able to interpret your horse’s signals, read its body language, respect your horse's boundaries, and communicate with your horse using natural body language. I will teach you how to subtly but clearly communicate with your horse, enhancing mutual understanding and cooperation.
You'll know how to navigate your horse's unique sensitivities and adapt to the situation of the moment. By adapting to the individual character of your horse mutual trust will grow, ensuring a strong relationship.
You'll explore how to become 'interesting' to your horse and spark his attention, increasing his desire to be with you. This will enhance the outcomes of all your future horse training sessions.
By embarking on this journey alongside your horse, you'll also experience personal growth: renewed confidence, inner peace, enhanced assertiveness, the ability to release expectations, stronger intuition, and more. These are just a few examples of the positive changes that await you through this program.
You will benefit from my knowledge and years of expertise, saving yourself frustration, time, and money. I've already paved the way for you, allowing you to immediately start making progress with your horse.

More Student Love

Our students are loving the content and support. Here's what they are saying about the Liberty Connection Program.

Sherry Dasset

"The information Karine had put online previous to purchasing the Liberty Connection Program really made sense to me. I felt this program was coming from a truly experienced horse loving person so was pretty confident that the program was going to be a continuation of what she had already put out there.

I am loving the program and find myself getting quite excited when I talk about it with others who aren't in the program, but who are horse loving people. I know anyone who truly loves horses will get it and be as excited as I am.

I am very happy with the results so far. My interaction with horses is quite different as I am far more aware of myself as to how I approach, what my energy is, body language etc. When things don't go as smoothly as I would like, I now analyze what my actions were and can usually find the solution there instead of blaming the horse.

I also have a greater sense of confidence as I know if I can’t find a solution to the problem on my own I can always get help from Karine.

I would most definitely recommend this program, as any horse that has an owner in this program is going to have a much happier , healthier life because the owner truly understands them, and can communicate with them in their language, and I wish that for all horses!! The second reason I would recommend it is of course for the horse owner, as for me personally I work in an office all day, definitely not what I love but a necessity of life but I have evenings and weekends to look forward to and many evenings I am tired and make myself head out to the barn, but when I get there and am doing barn chores and if I just apply even a little of what I learned and get a very positive reaction to it I leave the barn on a natural high that feels wonderful.

"Having been a typical horse loving teenager, the following 40 years I had no contact with horses what so ever; I still loved horses , but disliked the common attitude towards horses...

2 years ago, seemingly 'out of the blue', I realized that I urgently wanted the horses back into my life...
I met JUNA, a beautiful and proud young paint mare of 16 months and I fell in love that second!

While my young horse is having a good time growing up in pasture with the herd until today, my search for support and guidance to raise her differently was difficult and frustrating and sometimes I questioned my dream ...
But as it is said "when the student is ready, the teacher will come", I came across Karine and her program.

Instantly I felt, I had found what I'd been looking for desperately!
Starting the program I noticed myself feeling trust and inner peace....
Karine's teaching improves and cultivates my ability to read my horse, our connection, based on true liberty, is getting deeper every day, my personal insights are millions ;-).

An atmosphere of joy, harmony & trust has grown, and everybody can notice looking at me and/or my horse :-)... and it goes beyond the 2 of us

YES, I CAN- make a difference!
with the help of Karine !!!

Thank you Karine for all your support, answering questions within short time, precisely and with an amazing intuition for the background of the question! Also the warm & inspiring exchange within the fb group is great.

Thank you for being that special person with that special knowledge, ability and broad inner horizon.

If you really-really want the difference- go with Karine's program!"

Diana Nicolleta Prince

"I immediately felt in my soul that this was the perfect program for me and my horses.
I observed many positive changes in my horses, especially with 1 of them. This horse always tried to bite me and was very aggressive. But, now he is a fantastic friend, he thinks before he reacts and became collaborative and has trust in me. There is now real communication between us.

This program also taught me to stay inside, to follow my intuition, to be creative with my horse, and to be authentic without fear or judgment. This is a good way to know oneself and not only my horses.

I’m very happy with the feedback I get from Karine. When I explain my problems I get feedback very quickly and it is always very helpful for me and my horses.

I would recommend this program to people who want to go deeper in relationship with their horses and to people who want to be in contact with themselves. It’s a new and special program which requires the ability to look inside and to change our negative attitudes and behaviours.

Thank you to Karine and this wonderful program from me and my fantastic horses!!!"

Laura Begnini

"At first I had some doubts because I never believed in online teaching and I had some bad experiences in the past. Sine then I always chose to attend “live” courses.

But this program seemed to be exactly what I had been looking for during the last few years: since I started relating with horses I tried a lot of methods, but I always felt something was missing… It seemed to me that all these methods were tricks to teach the horse something, but no one was really helping me to improve a true relationship with my horses, based on friendly communication and mutual trust.

I have a couple of rescue horses that experienced mistreatments in the past and I noticed that they are much more relaxed when I’m around then before. Especially with them it was quite hard in the beginning and we’re doing everything very slowly, but in a couple of months our relationship improved more than in the last 2 years…
I also have a young mare that now is much more interested in spending time with me, even if we don’t use food during our activity… so I’m very glad!

Due to the program my self-awareness has improved and it’s being very helpful to reach a true and kind leadership in the relationship with my horses: and this is exactly what I was looking for when I decided to join the program.
Plus, I’m noticing that a good relationship also improves the results we can reach in horse-training.

I think the best part of the program is the support you get from Karine. She is a very skilled professional and has a great positive attitude. She puts a lot of passion in answering to our requests of help. She takes into consideration several aspects about our questions, and always gives us a lot of “food for thought”.. .
Karine wants us to improve our skills in order to be able to face the situations in an independent way.

I would recommend the program to anyone who is involved with horses at any level of expertise, from the beginners to experienced professionals."

Karen Smets

"A couple of months ago my horse and I were stuck in a vicious circle of all sorts of bad habits. We didn’t understand each other and we were both frustrated. To get him from the meadow was always a chore. And he often pulled himself free during brushing or saddling. He didn’t trust me.

Thanks to this fantastic program the relationship with my horse has completely changed! I don’t need to catch him in the meadow any more, he comes to my, happily and neighing. Now there is no need to fasten him anymore, because he doesn’t pull himself free anymore. He just stays with me.

I was afraid that once we would start riding again, he would become suspicious again, but that didn’t happen. It is the opposite, he is much more concentrated on everything that I ask from him and on a walk he trusts me that I know when he should be scared and when not.

It is so pleasant to be able to do everything without stress. Finally we’ve arrived in a positive spiral. We both really enjoy the connection exercises. Not all exercises went well straight away but Karine always knew what to do!

Thanks to this fantastic program I have been able to build a bond with my horse where previously I could only dream of and that within a couple of months time!"

Vicky Broes

"A year ago I had the opportunity to work with a small Irish Cob herd for my fear of horses. Through some research on the internet I ended up with the 8 “connection exercises” and I started without any guidance my own Horsefulness experiment with Koby, an Irish Cob mare of 13 years old.

During “bonding time” Koby and I got very close within a short period of time. She gave indications of sincere interest through which our connection started and I was really convinced of the benefits of the exercises.

However, after a few weeks I was missing “sound and image”, and that is why I went to the website and registered for the Horsefulness Liberty Training Program, where the focus is on videos with associated explanation and where you also get access to a community where “likeminded people” can exchange experiences in a positive and constructive atmosphere.

In the meantime the bond with Koby got a lot more intense in a short period of time and the owner offered me to buy her. In our own paddock paradise I now enjoy every day with Koby, in a pace that suits both her and me, from bonding time, the greet and go and the other connection exercises.

It feels like being guided personally in the paddock through having a lifelong access to the program and Karine, who is very quick in her reaction to answer all and everyone’s questions. In the last module I can learn everything about “the boomerang” so I have a challenge to look forward to with Koby! I’m a fan!"


25+ years of experience

Today, well in my 40's , I've been working professionally with horses for over 25 years. I've been fine tuning my skills and knowledge to this day. But, I've also learned the power of working with horses in true liberty.  True liberty means liberty without the use of round-pens, picadeiro's, pressure, treats or tricks.  Instead we work in a big arena or field, where the horse can run free. We never pressure, lure,  or "train" the horse to stick to his human.  No, the horse it totally free!

Time and time again this purest form of liberty - that I call Liberty Connection Work - has proven to be the most meaningful and horse friendly way of connecting with horses and build a relationship that horses find meaningful. 

For me, Liberty Connection Work has become essential and it is always the first thing I do with a horse.

If you want to make use of my knowledge and kick-start your Liberty Connection Work journey, then let me help.
