Channel Title: Sam VanFleet Channel Description: Just creating some videos of my horse journeys to share with you all :) I hope you enjoy! *Started actively using this channel in August 2018!* <video> Working with a Disconnected Horse (Liberty) Description: Wildfire is a fun little mustang! I have enjoyed getting him to open up more and relax... be more connected and in the moment. He has been doing liberty work for about a week (with R+) and has made leaps and bounds! Please keep in mind that this isn't a step by step video... just wanted to talk about some important things to remember when connecting with a horse that is a bit checked out!

Also seeing some of his rope issues with pressure on the hind end. He works through it well!

His owners are fantastic and have done some good foundational work but needed a little bit of a boost to advance him. He started to have a bit of a bolting problem, and also sticky feet. The goal is to get him softer and more reliable leading, and teach him how to handle his need of flight in a healthier way.

He did great with the prep exercises for this! I'll miss having this little guy here. Nearing the end of his bootcamp period. He also can pick up all 4 feet and is getting them trimmed!

The ability to leave and also working with factors he likes (choosing me over his food in his environment). I thought this was cool to look at too... I'd be curious to know how your horse responds if you ask them to leave their food in the paddock! Do they want to interact with you? If they say no, what do you do? How can you make interacting with them more enjoyable for them as well?

Soup! Figured someone may want an update on him. I also forgot to include, whether you believe in animal communicators or not (this is for those of you who do), he was unable to really connect with him. If you'd like to know more about what the communicator said, let me know! I'd love to share with those of you who are interested. I'm always just trying to do what's best for the horse.
