Absolutely not, this program is perfect for beginners.
In fact, it’s one of the best ways to start your journey with horses. You’ll learn how to build a strong connection and lay the best possible foundation for all future work, right from the beginning.

I teach this way of liberty work to horsewomen of all levels, from complete beginners to very experienced trainers. What I’ve seen over the years is that it works beautifully for everyone, and being a beginner even has a big advantage: you start off in a respectful, horse-friendly way from day one. You’ll learn to truly understand your horse, to communicate clearly, and to prevent common problems before they ever arise.

Throughout the program, I’ll guide you step by step with clear instructions and personal support. You can ask me any question, I’ll be there to help you along the way.

So if you’re new to liberty or even new to horses in general, this is exactly where you should begin. You’ll get my full guidance and support. That’s my promise.

If you are an experienced or even professional horsewoman, you will gain tremendous value from this program. Many trainers and professionals have already followed my programs and coaching, and it has helped them see horses, and horse training, from a new perspective.

The concepts in this program are new to most people. You’ll gain new insights, fresh approaches to challenges, and deeper layers of connection and understanding in your training.

I don’t hold back in my teaching. We start with the basics, because even professionals often miss essential pieces when it comes to truly connecting and communicating with horses. Then we go beyond that: you’ll learn advanced skills and insights that allow you to work confidently with even the most sensitive or challenging horses.

You can ask all your questions at your own level, and I’ll answer them on that same level, making the program fully tailored to your needs.

Over more than 30 years, I’ve developed my own way of working with horses through experimenting, refining, and discovering what truly works. In this program, I share all those golden insights with you.

So even as an experienced horsewoman, you are more than welcome. You’ll gain so much for yourself, your horses, and even your students if you’re a professional trainer.

Sure! I talk about horsewomen because, in my programs, women always outnumber the men... But don’t worry, we always leave a few spots for horsemen too😉

The Liberty Connection & Beyond Program is different from other programs. It gives you a fresh perspective on horses, their behavior, and how to work with them in true liberty. Many common myths in the horse world are set aside, allowing you to connect in a more natural and meaningful way.

Some participants follow the Horsefulness Training approach completely, while others mix it with what they already know. Either way, most people who have tried my programs tell me it’s an incredibly valuable complement. You’ll discover insights, exercises, and ways of connecting that enhance and deepen what you already know.

This program emphasizes subtle communication, intuition, and understanding your horse’s perspective, things often missing in other methods. You’ll learn to read your horse’s signals, build mutual trust, and guide your horse with alignment, presence, and clarity.

So yes, no matter your experience or prior method, this program will expand your skills, deepen your connection, and give you tools you can use immediately with your horse.

No worries! All live online sessions are recorded, so you can watch them anytime at your own pace. You’ll also have the opportunity to send in your questions beforehand, and I’ll answer them live, even if you can’t attend. Then you can listen to my answers afterward through the recordings.

 Plus, you’ll have full access to the community platform, where you can ask questions, share videos, and connect with other participants. That way, even if you miss a live session, you won’t miss out on guidance, feedback, or group support.

Even if you’ve already gone through the former Liberty Connection Program, the Liberty Connection & Beyond Program offers immense added value. The “Beyond Horse Training” part fills in what many felt was missing in the original program, which is why I’ve blended the two together.

You’ll also get live Connection Circles, interactive 2–3 hour workshops, and so much more than before. I’m confident this program will feel inspiring, and enriching. 

You actually don’t need any special equipment to get the most out of this program. You do need a big arena or field, because typical for this connection work is that the horse has a lot of space to move freely.  We also use a driving whip, but a simple twig works perfectly fine as well. 

The most important “materials” are an open mind, time to practice, and the dream to create the strongest possible connection with your horse!

You're right: every horse is unique! And that’s exactly what we work with in this program. I teach you how to honor and adapt to your horse’s individual character. It’s all about what YOUR horse needs, respecting your horse’s way of being and responding to your horse's unique personality and needs.

You’ll learn how to handle all kinds of different behaviors, reactions, and challenges. And because you can keep sharing your own experiences and ask your own questions I get to know you and your horse(s) better over time. That way, my tips and advises to you will be tailored specifically to you and your horse.

Yes, this program is absolutely a good fit for young and uneducated horses. Many people use this way of working with youngsters, even even, and they see such beautiful results. Their horses become more human-oriented, calmer, and easier to handle. They also notice that their horses learn new things more easily afterwards.

I always recommend starting as early as possible, because when you build this kind of connection from the beginning, everything that comes later, like groundwork, trailer loading, starting your horse,... goes much smoother and with more trust.

And since we will be connecting and communicating at liberty, you never have to worry about overloading your young horse. Your horse will let you know when it’s had enough and wants to stop. You'll learn how to recognise that by following the program. 

One of the main reasons I created this program is to help people with exactly these kinds of challenges.  In the program I adress all those challenges: from biting, and other dominance or defensive behavior, to lack of trust and fear.

I’ve been working with so-called “problem horses” since my teenage years, and professionally for over 30 years. Some of these horses weren’t trained correctly, others had experienced severe trauma. Over the years, I’ve learned that the most effective way to help them, and their owners, is to start working in liberty using the 8 connection exercises. 

Many of the people who come to me have already tried everything to solve their horse’s problems. Often, my method becomes their last hope. But as they learn the 8 connection exercises and how to communicate and connect with their horse in true liberty, they gain new insights, understand the root of the issues, and start to solve them.  Most importantly, their horses begin to feel happier, calmer, and more willing.

So my answer is a clear YES: the Liberty Connection & Beyond Program will help you address these challenges and create a happier, more harmonious relationship with your horse.

This program is not about riding, so you won’t find videos or lessons on riding here. It’s all about being and working with your horse in liberty. If you are looking for riding lessons, this program is not for that.

However, I strongly believe (and my experience confirms) that before you can truly enjoy riding, you need a strong connection with your horse. Clear communication, trust, and mutual understanding are the foundation of any partnership, whether on the ground or in the saddle.

Many of my students notice that after completing the Liberty Connection Program, all other training, including riding, becomes smoother, easier, and more fun. Horses are calmer, more willing, and more attentive.

In short, the Liberty Connection & Beyond Program lays the foundation for everything else you want to do with your horse. Just like a house needs a solid foundation to stand strong, your horse’s training will thrive when built on trust, connection, and understanding.

If your current method uses round-pens or picadeiros for liberty work, I have to be honest: it won’t mix with Liberty Connection work. To get the results you’re looking for, you’ll need to stop working in small enclosures and fully embrace the freedom-based approach.

However, if you’re doing groundwork or riding using another method, you can absolutely combine it. Many experienced horsepeople do this, and they tell me it gives them fresh insights, new perspectives, and innovative ways to train their horses.

Fair warning: during the program you'll discover that some of the techniques you’ve also been using might make you raise an eyebrow because they are not as horse-friendly as you thought... For some, this is an eye-opener; for others, it can feel confronting.  But trust me, this is a good thing: it helps you grow as a horsewoman and strengthens your connection with your horse.

Without a doubt, my answer is: YES! You can learn to work in liberty and connect deeply with a horse that is not your own and is also handled by others.

Horses have an incredible ability to recognize one person out of many. They can form a deep and trusting bond with that person if they spend meaningful time together and communicate in a way that truly resonates with them.

We have participants who work with horses that are not their own, mostly rented horses from riding schools. They often notice that once they apply this method with “their” horse, the horse reacts differently to them than to the other people who care for it or ride it. “Their” horse comes up to them when they arrive, is calmer around them, more trustful and willing, and more open in their interactions.

I can wholeheartedly recommend applying this method when you rent a horse, as it greatly benefits the well-being of a school horse. These horses often don’t have the chance to connect deeply with one person, so when you build a strong bond, it gives the horse more joy, trust, and meaningful moments. School horses deserve this just as much as any other horse… perhaps even more.

I completely understand that you might feel nervous about making the investment in the Liberty Connection & Beyond Program. That feeling is totally normal, almost every participant feels it when they step into this journey.

Just know this: you’re not simply spending money...  You’re making a conscious investment in yourself, in your growth as a horsewoman, and in the life and well-being of your horse and every other horse you will work with. You’re building the strongest connection possible and creating a foundation that will support everything you do with your horse, from everyday care to advanced training.

Why struggle and figure it all out on your own when you can learn directly from an expert who has spent decades refining this approach? Many horsewomen hesitate to invest in themselves and their relationship with their horse, and then they find themselves frustrated or stuck. Don’t let that be you. 

I promise that what you’ll gain from this program is far greater than the financial investment. The skills, confidence, and connection you’ll develop will benefit you, and every horse you will encounter, for a lifetime. When you look back, you’ll realize that the initial hesitation was nothing compared to the value you’ve received.

I understand your hesitation, I hear this so often. Many of my clients have tried other online horsemanship or horse training programs before and either didn’t get much out of them, or worked incredibly hard only to end up training and interacting with their horse in a way that didn’t suit their sensitive nature, their wish to work naturally, and their desire for a connection based on trust and respect. That’s really frustrating.

I completely get that if you made a serious investment before, it can feel scary to invest again. You want to be sure this time that you’re making the right choice. I feel that too, because I’ve been there myself. I once invested €6000 in a business program. I had high expectations, put in so much effort, and in the end, it simply didn’t fit me. It actually caused more stress than it helped, and I had to completely rethink my approach afterward. I felt disappointed, even angry.  It wasn’t just about the money I lost, it was about the vision I had for my work and how I wanted to do it in a way that felt natural. Instead, it was all about selling and manipulating potential clients, which was not me at all.

I share this because I want you to know: I understand the frustration, the disappointment, and the loss of trust that can happen. But even those experiences bring you wisdom and insight. You already have all the inner wisdom you need to make the right decision for yourself.

That’s why in this program, I want your decision to come from you, from your heart, from what feels right for you. If your answer is “no,” that’s completely okay, and I respect.  If your answer is a wholehearted “yes,” then I warmly welcome you and you will have my full commitment: I will guide you, support you, and be there every step of the way.

It’s a bit normal if the people around you don’t get why you want to join the Liberty Connection & Beyond Program. That's because people often focus on the risks: “Will it work?” “Is it worth it?” “Why not stick to what’s familiar?”  And, in a way, they’re trying to protect you. But sometimes that protection can also hold you back.

When I started my professional journey with horses at 18, almost no one believed in my vision. My parents wanted me to choose a “real” job, my teachers said I was too smart and told me to stay in school, and others said I’d spend my life mucking out stables. They couldn’t see what I felt so deeply was possible. But if I had listened to them, I wouldn’t have helped all those horses and humans around the world, and Horsefulness Training and Liberty Connection Work simply wouldn’t exist today.

The truth is: your vision, your dreams, your intuition, only you can feel them. Asking everyone else for validation keeps you stuck in your head, bouncing between opinions. The real question is: what feels right for you? Are you ready to fully commit to your life as a horsewoman?

In this program, you’ll also learn how to trust your inner knowing more,  and make choices that truly fit you as a horsewoman. 

You’ll learn to make decisions confidently for yourself and your horse, without needing constant approval from others. That’s the kind of clarity and trust in yourself that transforms your connection with your horse, and your life as a horsewoman.

My goal is always to support each participant and her horse in the best possible way, this means that I want it to feel almost as if I’m right there with you in the arena.

This is how this works: you’ll dive into the lesson videos and other materials inside the Virtual Classroom. If something isn't clear there,  or you bump into a challenge during the practice with your horse,  you can ask it anytime in the Facebook community or during one of the live Q&A webinars. Before each webinar, you’ll have the chance to send in your questions, and I’ll answer them personally. Questions that don’t make it into the live webinar, I always reply to directly afterwards, so every single question gets answered by me, either live or in the community.

Then we also have the Live Connection Circles, which are live workshops where you can also share, ask, and connect. And there are Topic Webinars, again with room for all your questions.

In the Facebook community, you’ll be invited to introduce yourself and your horses, so I know who you are and what brought you here. If you already face some challenges, you can share them there right away. And please, ask lots of questions! The more you share, the better I get to know you and your horses, and the more personal my guidance becomes.

Behind the scenes, I also keep track of your journey. I can see which videos you’ve watched, how long you take with certain modules, which live sessions you joined, whether you watched live or replay. I also note down which questions you’ve asked and around which topics, so my answers become more and more tailored to you. 

Every person is different, every horse is different, and every journey is unique, and that’s exactly how I respond: personally, and from the heart.  Many students I’ve coached online tell me how surprised they were by how personal and tailored the coaching felt, even though it was an online program!

You’ll also receive gentle follow-up emails if we notice that you’re stuck somewhere or haven’t been active for a while, just a loving check-in to see how you’re doing and what you might need to move forward again.

As you can see, the support inside the Liberty Connection & Beyond Program is very complete and deeply personal. I honestly don’t know of any other online program about horses that offers this level of guidance. 

It’s important to me that when you join this journey, it becomes life-changing for you and your horse. That’s my personal goal for every participant.  That's whay I pour my whole heart into it. 

Yes, this is an online program, but it’s very important to know that you are never left on your own. That’s often the danger with online programs: you start with excitement, and then, slowly, it gets put aside and forgotten. That will not happen in the Liberty Connection & Beyond Program.

This program is set up in a way that I will personally follow your progress throughout the entire program. If I notice you’re stuck in a module or not taking steps forward, I’ll send you a caring message to see how you’re doing and what you need to keep moving forward. Dropping off? Not an option here.

You also have biweekly live sessions with me and the other participants, where I answer questions, give feedback, and cover key topics. Before each live session, you can send in your questions, and I’ll guide you through any challenges you encounter.  

Everything is designed to support you in a loving and practical way, so you can take the steps you truly desire and achieve results you didn’t even think were possible yet. The level of personal guidance that I will give in this program is unmatched by any other online course. Helping horses and horsewomen is my life mission and I give it everything I have.

The only thing I ask is that you come in with a full yes, and full commitment. When your full dedication meets the complete guidance in this program, the results you achieve will surpass anything you might have imagined.

Yes, absolutely, you can ask questions throughout the whole program. There are lessons we go through together during live webinars, so there you can ask your questions right away. But you’ll also go through many lessons in the Virtual Classroom at your own pace. If something isn’t clear there, or if you run into a challenge in your practice with your horse, you can submit your question before every live session. I’ll answer it during that session, and any questions that don’t get addressed live, I’ll answer directly, so your question will always be answered.

I do want to be very clear: I will not micromanage you. That means I won’t make all the decisions for you. Micromanaging would take away your chance to trust your intuition and grow into your own horsewoman power.

Instead, I’ll guide you, give you tools, show you exercises, and support you as you make your own choices, try things out, and learn from your horse. My goal is to help you step fully into your own horsewoman power!

You’ll learn essential skills like being fully grounded, present, and connected with your intuition, qualities that are absolutely crucial for a powerful connection with your horse.

I’m here to hold the space, show the path, and help you navigate it, but you are the one walking it. That’s how real growth, confidence, and connection with your horse happen.

Everything in this group coaching program is designed to give you the tools, skills, and wisdom to work successfully with your horse in the most natural, intuitive way. These are skills you will carry with you for the rest of your horsewoman life, with every horse that comes into your life. That’s exactly what I’m here to guide you through.

No, this is not a one-on-one program, and that’s actually one of the most beautiful things about it. This is a group coaching program, and the energy, support, and connection you’ll experience with the other horsewomen can be incredibly powerful.

You’ll get to learn from each other’s experiences, see different perspectives, and celebrate breakthroughs together. Often, the insights you gain from someone else’s journey open up new possibilities for your own connection with your horse. The group energy keeps you motivated, inspired, and accountable, and it creates a safe space where everyone can grow.

Even though the coaching isn’t one-on-one, I’m still here to guide you personally: answering your questions during live sessions, giving feedback, and helping you reflect on your practice. You’ll feel supported every step of the way, while also having the freedom to explore and try things.

In a group, the learning doesn’t just come from my coaching: it comes from the shared energy, the collective wisdom, and the stories of every participant. It’s an incredibly enriching way to grow, and many horsewomen who have followed a groups coaching program with me find that the group experience actually accelerates their progress and keeps them motivated!

No, that’s not possible anymore. The Liberty Connection & Beyond Program is now a fully integrated journey, where the original Liberty Connection work and the Beyond Horse Training techniques are blended seamlessly.

I realized that many horsewomen who completed the Liberty Connection work were still missing the “horsewoman power” part. True connection with your horse always starts with connection to yourself. Only when you are fully grounded, present, and in touch with your own intuition can you give your whole self and truly connect with your horse.

Because of this, I felt I could no longer offer the Liberty Connection work separately from the Beyond Horse Training part, and the same goes the other way around.  Both pieces are essential and complement each other perfectly.

By combining them, you get the complete experience, where each part naturally builds on the other. They can’t be separated anymore, because the transformation - the connection to yourself and the connection your horse - is fully there when these two elements work together.

That’s something I hear a lot, we're living in a fast paced world, with much things to do...

Let me first tell you what you can expect. Depending on your horse and how things go, I recommend spending time on Liberty Connection Work every day or every other day. That doesn’t mean long sessions, sometimes you’ll only do 10 minutes, and that’s perfectly fine. You’ll learn exactly how that works inside the program.

Watching the videos and joining the live sessions also takes some time, of course. A topic webinar or a Q&A session usually lasts about 1 to 2 hours, and our Connection Circles take around 2 to 3 hours. We meet live every two weeks, so that means you set aside about 1 to 3 hours every two weeks for that.  I you can't make it live, you can watch the recordings. 

If you truly want to make a change in your relationship with your horse, and in your growth as a horsewoman, you’ll need to create time for it. But we also make it as easy as possible for you to follow along. Many of the lessons are available in audio format, so you can listen while walking, driving, cleaning the stables,... whenever it fits into your life.

Because I see it a lot, that feeling of never having enough time, I created a video inside the program with tips on how to make time for your horse, even when life is full.

Of course, sometimes something big is happening in your life that really takes all your time and energy, then it’s perfectly okay to wait. But if it’s more of a chronic feeling of always being busy, then the truth is: six months from now, it will probably still feel the same. Most people tell themselves they’ll have more time later… but later often looks a lot like now....

In that case, the real question is not "will you have enough time"... 
It's: "How big is your commitment?"
How strong is your desire to deepen the connection with your horse and to become the best horsewoman you can be?

If something else in your life is more important right now, then you should do that.  Honnestly. 
But if you feel that longing inside, even if your schedule is full, then maybe this is the right time.
Because there’s rarely a “perfect” time… there’s only the moment you decide to begin.

And if you feel that, you’re more than welcome in the Liberty Connection & Beyond Program. 

I advise to make sure you're available for the live webinars and the connection circles, as these are the moments where we come together, ask questions, and share energy as a group. All the other content in the program is completely flexible; you can go through it at your own pace, whenever it fits your schedule. However, if you can't make it to one or more of the live sessions, that's not a problem because everything is recorded for you. You can send in your questions beforehand and I'll address them in the live session.

Below are the dates of our live online sessions:

January 5th: kick-off webinar (welcome + topic talk)
January 15th: live webinar (Q&A )
January 31st: live Connection Circle (plus Q&A)
February 13th: live webinar (Q&A + topic talk)
February 28th: live connection circle (plus Q&A)
March 21st: live connection circle (plus Q&A)
April 10th: live webinar(Q&A +topic talk)
April 25th: live Connection Circle (plus Q&A)
May 7th: live webinar (Q&A + topic talk)
May 23rd: celebration webinar (Q&A+ celebration!)

If you can’t make it to a live session, don’t worry, everything is recorded, so you can watch it later at a time that works for you. The great thing about this is that you never miss any of the content, insights, or demonstrations.

That said, I do encourage you to join live whenever you can. Being live gives you the chance to feel the energy of the group, ask your questions in real time, and experience the connection with other horsewomen, which is incredibly powerful and motivating.

And remember: any question you send in advance will always be answered, whether you’re live or watching the replay. You will never miss guidance or support!

In the Liberty Connection & Beyond Program, you will be guided intensively for 5 months. After that, you will still have full access to the Virtual Classroom for 5 years.

Once the 5 months of intensive guidance are complete, there will be the option to continue with another form of support,  completely optional, of course.

I will offer this possibility because many horsewomen find ongoing guidance incredibly motivating. It helps them to keep going on the path they’ve started, maintain accountability and staying connected with other horsewomen.
