Playing and Learning at Liberty Farm, Mount Vernon, WI
You are welcome to join us at events even if you are not a member of our club and ride another breed of horse. Education is our focal point, along with family values, and a respectful environment where all persons of all ages can develop their horsemanship skills on the breed of your choice.
Many of us keep our horses in our own backyards. Without the advantages of belonging to a riding club or a training barn, we tend to fumble along learning what we can by reading books, watching tapes, catching clinicians at horse fairs, or taking the occasional lesson. It may be that you like to trail ride but you are not meeting anyone who has your same interests and riding skills. In order to address those situations, our club has incorporated a series of lesson, clinics, workshops, and trail rides to bring our membership and family, friends, & acquaintances the opportunity to improve skills and increase everyone's ability to enjoy their horse more than ever imagined. These lessons, clinics, & workshops are limited to a certain number of riders, so if you are interested, be sure to contact the coordinator outlined on the events page to reserve your spot as a participant. There is plenty of room for auditors and they are welcome to come and watch. If you are a trail rider, please go to the events page and join us for a trail ride or at any club event. All are welcome.
Trainer introductions are as follows and see the page for each trainer which contains additional information:
Will Atkinson - Focus is to build human-horse relationship increasing your fun.
Jeanne Foster - Focus is to build your core riding & equitation technique.
Bill Haack - Focus is to increase ease of riding, removing tension and bracing.
