How far we've come; Our Journey ♥

Casino is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I love him with my whole heart. ♥

This has been the most incredible journey. These past couple months I have learned so much and changed in so many ways. I found this way of horsemanship that has turned everything around for me and Casino. There's no more pressure, no more forcing or pain. Were free. We look at one another as equals and enjoy every moment of our time together. Liberty and clicker training has been the best thing that could ever have happened to us. Our bond is so much stronger and where we are now is all I've ever dreamed of. The feeling of that special connection we share words can not describe how amazing it is. We've gone from being so afraid and lost to being able to live our dreams everyday. We still have a few struggles and things to work through, but with every new day we are always improving. Casino has been learning so quickly and been so responsive I am so proud of him. He knows kiss, smile, bow, pawing which were still in progress of learning, targeting and building up to rearing. In the near future we will be working on lying down, Spanish walk and a few other tricks as well as him cantering at my side. I haven't used a halter or bridle on him in a very long time other then leading him to the arena. I haven't ridden him in quite awhile, but that doesn't even matter. What we've been doing everyday has built up so much between us and even though it's work on the ground it will help so much when it comes to riding. The last several times I did ride him it was all bareback and for the most part completely tackless or with a rope around his neck. I've never been so happy in all the years I have been riding and had horses. This change from traditional horsemanship to liberty has opened my eyes up to a lot of things. I hope that I can fulfill my dreams with horses and maybe someday have a career with them.

I want to give a HUGE thank you to LittlePistolAnnie she has helped me so much through everything and is a big part in where I am now with Casino and all that I have learned. I encourage you all to check out her channel and watch her videos. She and Annie are breath taking. They are one of my biggest inspirations! It's absolutely beautiful the things the two of them can do together. There bond is something very special.
