BUILD A MAGIC BOND WITH YOUR HORSE
Is your horse at times unfocused, lazy or anxious and you feel the need to use force to get your horse "in place" - while what you really want is a partnership where your horse follows at liberty and can be ridden with light signals?
Is your horse at times difficult to stop or hard in the mouth? But buying sharper bits and keeping a firm grip on the reins has not worked as planned?
A few exercises done in a mindful way, will solve these problems - while building a magic bond with your equine partner, enabling you to train and ride at liberty, without depending on treats.
You are the best trainer for your horse
When given the chance, horses can control themselves and form strong bonds with their owners. They are also capable of using their bodies in a functional way, with hind-leg engagement and a functional top line, without being micromanaged. If we just let them.
This is because the mental state of the horse affects how they use their body. When their minds are happy and relaxed, their bodies take a functional shape with natural self-carriage and hind leg engagement.
That`s why knowing a few simple exercises that strengthens your bond with your horse, makes riding easier for you and healthier for your horse. A stranger training your horse or attending riding lessons cannot replace that.
Experience the joy of riding a self- controlling and connected horse, that is easy to collect
Riding on loose reins or at liberty doesn`t mean your horse is on the front part. On the contrary!
Horses collect from behind to forward. Reaching your horse`s hind legs while not needing reins up front for control facilitates hind leg engagement and a functional top line.
As a result of the hind being engaged your horse will rise in the withers, lift the back and curve the neck. This is also called collection, although we don`t like to talk about that cause the mare word encourages riders to pick up the reins and curl their horse`s neck, and therefore ride the horse from front to behind. Which is the opposite of collection and a huge and very common pitfall.
We avoid all of that by training our horses and ourselves to ride without depending on the reins, which, when the time comes makes collection super easy!
Enjoy the bond you create with your horse at liberty
Even though I took a horse trainer degree from Holar University College and Riding Instructor at Norwegian Equine Center it was going to Mongolia and riding semi-wild horses there that taught me the most about horses.
A revealing experience of how much horses dislike being micromanaged and how controlling I was as a rider forever changed the way I ride and train horses. Which led to the creation of Ride Like a Viking Members that now has helped thousands of riders get the partnership and results with horses they always dreamed of.
I can’t wait to share with you this tested and proven path that solves deep rooted problems and makes horses easy to train, with or without tack.
A peaceful and safe solution
"In my work as an equestrian coach, I have met clients whose horses go into freeze or flight/fight mode. The program has provided a peaceful and safe solution to this. And we can use softer and smaller signals, because just the thoughts already influence change in the horse. This is my life's work and I find this method very pleasant and clear to apply to myself and my students."

My horse is super motivated and I have become a master of liberty!
"I was never good at liberty work and have always wanted to learn how to do it. I have 2 horses, one of whom is not motivated for groundwork and not forward in general. Then I found the Ride Like a Viking program, by following it my horse is getting motivated more and more. Our scope of exercises is expanding and we have fun! By now I only need to point into a direction and off he goes! And the work transfers to our riding too!"

Solved severe separation anxiety
"I joined because I have a horse who suffered very much from separation anxiety. Every time his favorite neighbor left, his anxiety quickly escalated into panic. This happened even though the stable was full of other horses. We tried many solutions without success. I was sceptical to an online course, but started with the connection exercises in Ride Like a Viking Members. Now my horse is relaxed and can be alone! I`m so happy!"

Learned more than in 30 years of horse experience
"I truly recommend this to improve the relationship with horses and communicate better with horses!! I`m learning so much, more than in my thirty years horse experience before!!! Wish I knew this when I started riding. Knowing how horses think and how to be one of the herd instead of the boss and controller of horses. To be in contact with horses in this way gives so much joy!"
