Untethered Spirits Farm

Our mission is to be strong advocates for equine welfare by promoting ethical, holistic training practices for horses. We offer programs for sport horse retraining and rehabilitation in collaboration with our business partners. Our services also include mare care, foal and young horse development with optimized nutrition, lots of turnout, socialization, and exercises designed to promote balance: harmony in motion.

Our ultimate goal is to help as many horses as we can, and prevent as many horses as we can from ending up in rescues or at auctions, having been discarded by humans who are incapable of experiencing the joy that comes from engaging in the flow of the energy of connection with horse and human in harmony. 

We have in the past bred horses as sport prospects, thinking of all the exciting combinations with our lovely mares and the wonderful stallions in the marketplace, but we found it extremely worrisome to then sell our foals or young horses, because we did not want any of our horses to ever experience pain or neglect, or not to be appreciated for the gracious, gentle beings that they are at their core. 

As such, our focus has shifted towards building a network of horse owners and trainers who share our philosophy and, working together, offer programs to develop the young horses in our care, or horses needing second changes, and matching them to owners who are devoted to providing forever homes.

The classical methods not only develop and strengthen the horse from a biomechanical perspective, but harmony emanates from a deep emotional bond of trust between horse and rider. We view the classical methods as the foundation for all disciplines. 

The foundation of our program is a deep appreciation and reverence for our equine partners. It starts with establishing a close bond of trust between our horses and our staff, so that ultimately that bond will transfer to the horses' owners: never giving the horse a reason to mistrust humans.
