About @liberty

@liberty is a unique collaboration designed to support women who have experienced breast cancer through at liberty horse training. This practice involves working with horses without ropes or reins, using only vocal cues, gestures, and body language. The program fosters connection, confidence, and resilience, providing both physical and emotional healing.

Inspired by Kellie Kvern, a horsewoman with metastatic breast cancer, and in a collaboration with This Old Horse,  @liberty offers participants a therapeutic and empowering experience with horses. The program is open to individuals with or without prior horse experience, allowing them to engage at their comfort level. Liberty work is done from the ground, ensuring accessibility while still providing meaningful interaction.

Horses offer powerful therapeutic benefits, helping individuals navigate both the physical and psychological challenges of cancer recovery. Research has shown that equine therapy improves strength, fitness, and mental well-being. The bond between participants and horses fosters a sense of trust, hope, and empowerment.

By spending time with horses, participants experience a holistic approach to healing, learning valuable lessons in trust, patience, and perseverance. Through this journey, women gain perspective, build resilience, and embrace the present alongside their equine partners in a supportive and uplifting environment.
