This horse has been under saddle for just 30 days.

And yes — this level of connection is intentional.

Starting a horse isn’t about “getting on fast.”

It’s about building understanding, trust, and communication from day one so riding becomes easy for both horse and human and not the main focus.

We documented every single session with this horse inside our Online Academy at prohorse.ca — from the first session in Liberty to riding with connection.

Nothing hidden. Nothing skipped.

If you can follow a process, you can do this too — and we’ll show you how 🤗

A horse that can’t trust yet will run first.

Not because they’re “bad,” but because their nervous system is protecting them.

At liberty, we don’t chase connection.

We create safety, space, and clarity… and we wait.

When the horse is ready, they choose to follow.

That’s real partnership.

No force. No pressure. Just understanding.

Let me show you how 🤍

*************CLINIC ALERT***********

I’m excited to announce another clinic this May 2nd and 3rd with Carola Sossdorf - Prohorse Training.

Carola brings over a decade of experience as a brain-based horse trainer and is a Certified Equine Canada Coach. Her mission is simple: to teach humans how to build relationships that are truly pro-horse.

She specializes in brain-based horsemanship, applying it to liberty training, c**t starting, problem solving, and performance horses. With over 100,000 international followers across social media, Carola is passionate about educating and inspiring the next generation of equine professionals.

When I wanted to deepen my communication with my own horse, I attended one of Carola’s clinics. What stood out was how understanding a horse’s way of thinking created a profound shift in how I interacted with my partner. By grounding her teaching in brain-based science, Carola not only explains the why behind equine behaviour, but also translates it into meaningful, practical interactions you can apply immediately.

Every moment with your horse is a learning opportunity, and much of that learning happens on the ground. This clinic will guaranteed improve your relationship with your horse and provide you with the tools to be the leader you are!

Cost: $475 (includes Saturday night dinner)
Overnight boarding available (indoor/outdoor)

Merry Christmas from our barn to yours! 🎅🏼♥️ Remember my moose Emma? This picture is from 2019 but it‘s still my favourite Christmas picture to this day and I can not not share it 🎄I rescued Emma when she was a calf and raised her for 2 1/2 years! She taught me so much about patience and how much bonding with an animal makes an impact! I hope y‘all have a very merry Christmas and that your horses get an extra carrot or two today 😜

What does it take for a horse to trust you this much?

In this video, you see Sturgis, just three years old, lay down and fall asleep with his head in my lap — something that only happens when a horse feels completely safe.

Every day, your horse is asking one simple question: “Am I safe?”

And every moment you spend together is your chance to answer it.

True connection isn’t built through control — it’s built through understanding, consistency, and trust. When your horse believes that you are a safe place, everything changes.

To learn more about how we build this kind of trust through brain- and evidence-based horsemanship, visit our online school at prohorse.ca.

Because when a horse feels safe, they give you everything.

Teaching your horse to come over to the mounting block in 3 simple steps

This isn’t just a trick — it’s a powerful exercise in communication and trust.
Here’s how we teach it:

1️⃣ Start on the ground. Teach your horse to soften to pressure and move its hind end away. Use a light rhythmic tap and your body language (push) to make it clear.

2️⃣ Switch sides, but still ask for the same response. Now you’re standing on the opposite side, still influencing the same hind leg. Reward every little step toward you — this is where your horse starts to understand the draw.

3️⃣ Once your horse is confident and soft from the ground, move to the mounting block or fence. Ask the same question here — and if they get confused, go back to the ground and explain again before trying from above.

Over time, your raised arm will become the cue, and your horse will start to choose to come over — calmly, willingly, and connected.

At ProHorse Training, we focus on making things clear and fair for the horse — always teaching in a way their brain understands.

Watch the reel for the full breakdown — and if you want more step-by-step exercises like this, join our online academy at prohorse.ca. **tstarting

Hi, I’m Carola, the founder of ProHorse Training.

I grew up in a small town in Germany where my parents had nothing to do with horses — but from the moment I met them, I couldn’t stay away. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to learn from incredible trainers and horse people around the world, and I’ve developed an approach that makes training clearer for horses and more rewarding for their humans.

My passion? Working with horses of all ages, breeds, sizes, and training stages — and helping owners become better partners. Because real progress doesn’t come from force, it comes from understanding.

That’s what ProHorse is all about. The name says it itself: everything we do, we do pro horse. Our training is grounded in science — the brain, instincts, and natural communication — so that horses can truly understand what we’re asking. It’s not about tricks or gimmicks, but about fairness, clarity, and evidence-based horsemanship.

I believe every horse deserves to be heard. And every owner deserves the tools to build a partnership that goes beyond obedience into real connection.

This is my life’s work — and I’m so excited to share it with you.

Tell me your story — how did horses come into your life?

“If your horse had the choice, would it stay with you?”
That’s the question Liberty answers.

For us, Liberty is one of the most important parts of training — not because it looks pretty, but because it’s a way of communicating with horses in a language they truly understand.

Ever wondered what ProHorse Training is all about?

Hi! We are Ava and Carola. Let us introduce ourselves and share the heart of our work: Liberty, evidence-based horsemanship, and learning how to communicate with horses in a way they truly understand.

We believe great training isn’t about control — it’s about connection. That’s what we teach, and that’s what ProHorse Training is built on.
