Why Liberty
Liberty at Michelle Jerry Heart & Hooves Horsemanship is not about creating a “liberty horse” — it’s about creating a whole horse. We don’t just teach tricks or ask for obedience; we develop a horse that is confident, connected, and willing in every aspect — on the ground, under saddle, on the trail, or in the show pen.​
What makes our liberty program different is that we look at the horse as a complete partner—mind, body, and heart. Liberty becomes the proof of the relationship, not the goal. When your horse chooses to stay with you without a halter or rope, it’s because they trust you, understand you, and feel safe in that connection.​
Through thoughtful cross-training — liberty, ground control, riding, ranch work, trail, and more—we build horses that can do it all. Every skill works together to create softness, responsiveness, and emotional balance. Liberty isn’t the destination — it’s the reflection of a true partnership where your horse willingly says, “Yes, I’m with you.”

Why Advanced Horsemanship
Advanced Horsemanship at Michelle Jerry Heart & Hooves Horsemanship is not about asking for more, faster, or bigger. It’s about riding and working your horse with greater intention. We aren’t chasing perfection or high-pressure performance.
We are cultivating:
• A horse that thinks with you
• A rider who communicates clearly and confidently
• A partnership that feels good on both sides
We see the horse and rider as a complete team — mind, body, and heart working together. When your horse follows your seat, responds to your energy, and carries themselves with balance and softness, it’s not accidental. It comes from trust, understanding, and quiet leadership that is built from the inside out.
This is where groundwork, liberty, ranch work, trail work, and riding all connect into one shared language.
This is where your partnership becomes calm, clear, connected, and powerful — not through force, but through feel.
