What's Included 

 Webinar 1
Learning Through Feelings: 
 

A deeper dive into your horse's emotions, motivation & learning

 

Liberty is not about getting the horse to do a behaviour or movement. We want our horses to want to do it, and also to feel good while doing it! 

In this webinar, we will explore:

  • Your horse's core emotional systems and their role in training,
  • The critical differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and
  • How operant conditioning influences learning & emotions

This is the foundation you need before beginning liberty training—because when you understand how your horse feels, you can create a partnership where your horse genuinely feels good and wants to participate. 

Webinar 2
Bridging the Gap:
 

Understanding timing, rewards & emotion

 

Reward-based training is powerful—but it must be used strategically. In this webinar, you will learn why some horses start pinning their ears (or worse!) around food rewards, and, when used correctly, how food rewards can actually help to build your horse's emotional resilience and motivation. 

We will explore: 

  • The neuroscience behind positive reinforcement and why it is so effective, 
  • What common mistakes can lead to frustration, pinned ears or worse!
  • The importance of keeping your horse in a state where he feels calm, safe and ready to say YES!
     

This is the foundation you need before you start using food rewards with your horse in order to keep you and your horse calm, happy and succeeding! 

Please Note:

These webinars are designed to give you a theoretical understanding of very important concepts in liberty horsemanship, including your horse’s emotions, motivation, and how learning works. They do not include step-by-step training instructions—instead, they provide the why behind the how.

These webinars are also included within The Essence of Liberty Online Academy, where we go into these topics in far more detail alongside practical demonstrations, video tutorials, and guidance to help you avoid common mistakes and build a joyful, lasting connection with your horse.

Who is Dr. Nadine Lindblom?

 Dr. Nadine Lindblom is a veterinarian, educator, and the creator of The Essence of Liberty Online Academy—an evidence-based and emotionally intelligent way to train horses through freedom, play, and connection. With over 20 years of experience with horses and more than 16 years dedicated to liberty training, Nadine has inspired millions through her videos showing horses who are empowered, energized, and deeply connected.

But her journey didn’t start that way. Like many compassionate horse owners, Nadine once felt that her horses didn’t truly want to be with her—let alone enjoy the training they were doing. That sense of disconnection led her on a mission to find a better way.

Today, she’s known for helping others build joyful partnerships where horses are not just willing, but eager participants in their own learning. She especially loves integrating classical dressage principles into liberty work to help horses become the best versions of themselves—mentally, emotionally, and physically.

As the founder of The Essence of Liberty Online Academy, Nadine has guided hundreds of students in understanding their horse’s emotional world, developing confidence, and creating lasting connection. This theory-based bundle offers a powerful introduction to that journey!

Who Is This For?


This short theory-based course is for you if:

  • You want to build a relationship based on choice, not pressure
  • You’re curious about liberty but unsure how to start in a way that feels ethical and informed
  • You’ve seen signs of frustration or food obsession and want to prevent them
  • You’re drawn to science-based, emotionally intelligent training
  • You value understanding your horse’s inner world before asking for any behaviours

"Nadine cares about the mental and physical welfare of the horse under training. This is a rare find! I love that she uses a bridge and positive reinforcement methods. I felt comfortable that she was not going to ask me to do something with my horse that would cause distress to either of us. The Liberty lessons were very motivating to me in all aspects of my equestrian life, both in hand and under saddle. I can’t wait to try some with my youngster. Nadine at no point made it about herself, it was all about the horse.
Thank you!"

What are our our beautiful students saying about the academy?

 

"Nadine truly makes learning fun! Her way of explaining things, no matter how 'simple' or 'complicated' is clear and concise, and she makes sitting down to her course fun, engaging and so rewarding! Since starting the course, I have gained a whole different mindset that I have been able to apply when working with both Levi and other horses.

I cannot recommend to people enough that if they get the chance to work with, learn from or just be around Nadine, it is truly worth your time!

Louise Cooper - Queensland, Australia (Academy Member)

"The Essence of Liberty Online Academy has brought back the joy of working with my horses. We’ve reached a whole new level of play and connection. At the end of the course I can honestly say I developed more during the course than I have during the last two years since I’ve had my own horses."
 

Nina Andersson (Sweden)

"I am so appreciative of Nadine’s work. Not only is her online program thorough and easy to follow, Nadine generously shares reading lists and additional information for the hungry learner. Having the opportunity to have a clinic in person really helped solidify the work I’ve been doing at home and fill in the gaps. Nadine has a gentle way of encouraging curiosity in learning and the progress made by all was easy to see. It’s a treat being instructed by someone with such a wealth of knowledge. Thanks so much!!"

Caithe Hodges - Canberra Clinic Organiser (Academy Member)

"Attending Nadine’s clinic has unlocked so much fun between my horse and I. It was amazing to see how much a horse will do for us when we allow them to have a choice in their work. It’s given me a whole new perspective in working with horses and I’m so excited to begin my liberty journey."
