Instruction and training for all breeds, including gaited.

Owned and operated by Jessica Gillespie, Free Rein Horsemanship is an ever-evolving holistic approach of working with horses and people.

Incorporating many successful methods, such as the psychology of natural horsemanship and positive reinforcement techniques of clicker training, provides a basis of communication between the rider and horse. Jessica also embraces classical dressage, valuing 'light hands' and the importance of balance and biomechanics for a wide variety of different disciplines and sports.

Free Rein's goal is to improve the relationship between you and your horse - on the trail, trailer, in the arena, and anywhere else your aspirations lead you.

Jessica continually incorporates ground work and riding techniques into her training in order to adapt to every unique need of the horse as an individual.

We are located in Hockley Valley, Ontario, and frequently travel to private and public facilities in the surrounding area.

What is Equine Assisted Psychotherapy?

Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA) provides the following definition:

"Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) incorporates horses as experiential for emotional growth and learning. It is a collaborative effort between a licensed therapist and a horse professional working with the clients and horses to address treatment goals.

EAP is an experiential modality. This means that participants learn about themselves and others by participating in activities with the horses and then processing (or discussing) thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, and patterns."

Most horses enter into training during the beginning of the season. Trainers barns are full of noises and sounds and often are a high paced, excitable environment. We've all seen bucking and kicking in a stall due to the passing of other horses in the hallways. A horse on stall rest with plenty of pent up energy usually acts out as others are going by. That bucking and kicking may be hindering the healing of wounds, leg troubles, etc. It's very hard to keep stitches in a horse that does acrobatics daily in the stall. That horse in the training barn is used to getting out every day and having exercise and routine. Once that is taken away due to an injury or surgery, the horse has to develop a new routine of stall rest or limited activity. This isn't always possible when they remain in the same environment. They are used to acting in a certain manner and now have to change. By changing the horse to a different environment, he now relearns what is expected. In some cases, they become quieter and more relaxed, because that is what they learn. Healing of bones and tissues can be faster if there aren't the outside stresses involved in the horses behaviour.

Trainers can take advantage of this unique service as a backup to their existing schedules. The valuable stall space they have available remains for horses in training on a daily basis. Lay ups return when ready to begin conditioning again, which makes it much easier for the trainer to keep within their important tasks.

Greener Valley Stables is a small stable of only ten stalls, and wide hallways mean other horses walking by are not close to the front of others who remain on stall rest. Paddocks are out of sight from the barn, so the sounds of running and playing don't carry into the barn and excite behaviour. We have the time to treat each horse as an individual case when it comes time to feeding, hand walking or following up with your veterinarian.
