INTRO TO LIBERTY TRAINING

Don’t miss this sought after Clinic on a horse owner’s favorite – the beautiful art of Liberty! Heidi Herriott will introduce you to Liberty training by showing you the basics of how to get started. She will demonstrate with trained horses and then show you how to get started with an untrained horse. Liberty work is great for both the horse and owner and incredibly beneficial to your overall relationship.

Heidi Herriott is proud of her heritage as a third-generation animal owner, trainer and committed caretaker. She has travelled throughout North America exhibiting her beautiful, trained horses. She also enjoys hosting clinics specifically highlighting effective and universally recognized dog and horse training techniques that enhance the training for both the animal and their people; maintaining a safe environment; and ultimately enhance the bond and relationship people share with their animals. She is respected and recognized as an animal welfare expert and has served as a national spokesperson. She is also a knowledgeable and engaging speaker on the subject of celebrating the bond we share with our animal partners, as well as correcting misinformation about working and caring for animals in what is truly in the best interest of the animals.

Heidi served as the Head Trainer and/or animal consultant for various venues including the Tournament of Kings Show/Excalibur (Las Vegas); Arabian Nights Dinner Attraction (Kissimmee, FL); The Dancing Horse Theatre (Lake Geneva, WI); Kentucky Horse Park (Louisville, KY); Cirque Ma’Ceo (on Tour); The Land of Little Horses (Gettysburg, PA).

Heidi provides a unique perspective regarding working with and celebrating our animal partners. Her goal is to provide a counterbalance to the emotional, philosophical and even misleading information animal rights and protection groups present to media, legislators and most importantly, animal owners and lovers regarding animal shelters and appropriate care and training for animals. As a sought-after writer and speaker, she is committed to delivering factual information regarding best practices in animal husbandry, recognized behavioral training techniques, science and data to allow for a more informed and enlightened decision regarding animal ownership and care and the larger debate regarding how we care for and consider the amazing animals we share this planet with.

All attendees to the clinics will receive the link to the download of Heidi Herriott’s HorseTrix TV series. It includes 11 tricks with step by step instructions.
