from everything else I've seen or tried?!
I felt like I had to choose between my and my horse’s happiness and following the rules of the horse industry.
As a Parelli Natural Horsemanship Instructor, I followed the system to create what was called Liberty Savvy:
“Make the right thing easy and the wrong thing difficult.” Groundwork first, online, with escalating phases and an effective Phase 4.
Then offline - but in a contained space. After all, we didn’t want the horse to have the choice to leave. So my horses learned they had to stick around.
When I finally gave JB more freedom - and he chose a larger circle around me - I failed my first Level 4 Liberty Audition. My certification, my financial security were at risk.
I was baffled. JB never disconnected. His eyes and ears were on me the entire time. He trotted a large circle with healthy posture and beautiful biomechanics, then returned to me in his exaggerated Morgan trot and stopped right in front of me.
To me, it was clear: He was engaged. He was expressive. He was having fun! I was excited when I submitted the video, expected raving reviews.
The response? “FAILED.” We were marked down because I hadn’t asked him to make the circle bigger - and I was told my horse had “disconnected.”
That was the moment everything shifted. I resubmitted what was required to pass - and began searching for a different kind of liberty.
Liberty where participation is a choice.
Where play is welcomed.
Where safety and trust come first.
By nature, horses are born followers. JB never left - he simply felt safe enough to create more distance. He was happy. He was playful.
It’s up to us to show up in a way where they want to be with us. That is the kind of liberty this Foundational Kit is built on.

The Truth No One Talks About
Your 'problem' isn't a difficult horse. It’s what the industry often sells as the solution - pressure, control, dominance… and even treat-based systems that shape behavior without building emotional safety.
Over time, this creates Residual Tension - emotional static that keeps horse and human in self-preservation and makes Genuine Liberty impossible.
Traditional training asks:
“How do we fix the behavior?”
We ask a different question: “How do we restore free will and heal the relationship?”
The Freedom to Choose Foundational Kit helps you take inventory and lay the groundwork for Genuine Liberty - rooted in safety, clarity, and trust.

Why This Works When Everything Else Failed
Most methods treat symptoms. We address the SOURCE.
Instead of attempting to control behavior,Â
we begin by restoring safety first and foremost.
Instead of:
“Assert your dominance” → Create safety for both nervous systems
“Push through the fear” → Honor the wisdom of your intuition
“More drills” → Cultivate presence and intentional release
“Be the alpha” → Become the leader your horse chooses to follow
This isn’t a quick fix.
It’s a structured framework that has helped heart-centered horsewomen around the world rebuild trust - with their horses and within themselves so Genuine Liberty becomes possible!

I have to say I have never known anyone as generous as you Petra! What you give to people and horses - and the content of what is in the course - goes way more than any other course I've done or known. You are phenomenal!

I'm really loving your master class. I'm listening in when I can and watch the same video a few times to soak in all your knowledge. I feel more at ease the more I see how relaxed our mare is with all our ground work you have taught us. I turn [my daughter] Sarah is growing so much confidence to do a lot of the tasks on her own (with me watching on of course). You have made this journey so much less scary and 100% safer! Thank you so much!

Nowadays, my mare Nevada is so relaxed: Even her body worker says that she is a different horse! For years, Nevada's tail was tense and tight prior to studying with you. No practitioner could help me with that. I was told it cannot be changed. She can now relax her tail! She also used to pull on me all the time and I was so frustrated. I am so happy that now Nevada easily walks with me and doesn't lunge for grass anymore! A few weeks ago, I thought I would never ride again and now I can see that it will be possible!
PETRA CHRISTENSEN:
Your Connection & Confidence Mentor
Why Should you Believe (in) me?
After a serious riding accident and years of frustration, I became a Parelli Natural Horsemanship Instructor, searching for clarity and safety.
For a time, I believed I had found the answer. But in 2013, I made a difficult decision to resign and create my own program.
Because I realized something important: Putting the relationship first cannot be just a slogan.
Traditional training - including many natural horsemanship systems - is still rooted in pressure, control, and escalating phases. These methods can create obedience, and often leave horses in self-preservation and subtle tension.
And tension, even when hidden, affects both horse and human.
Treat-based systems may feel kinder - but when food becomes the motivator, connection can shift away from relationship and toward reward.
I knew there had to be another way.
In every herd, horses follow the calm, consistent lead mare - not through dominance, but through trust.
That insight changed everything for me.
Today, I teach heart-centered horsewomen how to become the grounded Guardian and benevolent LEAD in their Herd of 2 - creating safety, clarity, and genuine inter-connection without pressure or bribery.
Today, I teach heart-centered horsewomen how to become the grounded Guardian and benevolent LEAD in their Herd of 2 - creating safety, clarity, and genuine inter-connection without pressure or bribery. Softness is not weakness — when paired with clarity, it becomes leadership.
When your horse feels seen, heard, and understood, safety follows. And from safety, genuine liberty becomes possible.
As a certified Insight Inventory® Coach and founder of Genuine Connections HorseWomanship, I am here to guide you - step by step - toward becoming the calm, consistent Guardian your horse chooses to follow - out of free will and with consent.
Let's be honest...
If nothing changes, the frustration will still surface.
The doubt will still whisper when you reach for the lead rope.
And you may continue wondering what you’re missing.
Clarity changes that.
When you understand how safety, choice, and leadership truly work together, everything begins to feel simpler.
What if, in just one week, you could walk into the barn knowing exactly how to proceed - calm, clear, and confident?
Today can be the day you begin building that foundation - for you and your horse.
