Through Gamilah Unbridled, we’ve dedicated the last 5 years of our lives wholeheartedly to rescue horses and liberty. We’ve learned more than we could have ever imagined during this time and helped all the horses and rescue organizations we could along the way—and that will never change.

I’ve always said my favorite types of horses are rescue horses (all breeds) and Arabians. Yet, I love all horses the same. I don’t think I’ve ever met one I didn’t like… maybe just a horse owner from time to time! 😜😂😜

Our goal from the very beginning has been to change the horse world as a whole—not just one breed or “type” of horse. Over the last year or so, we’ve realized rescues are not the only horses that benefit from a different approach.

A client of mine recently reminded me that rescues aren’t the only ones that need help; a lot of horses in the show world carry that same trauma and need a way through it, too.

I have never wanted to just become the “rescue guy.” I’ve always wanted to help as many horses as possible through liberty.

So, we’ve set a new goal as we look toward 2027: extend our liberty foundation into the performance world and reach the horses in need there, too.

We’ll be sharing a much larger post about this vision later this year, but this is the start of being able to help all horses—because we all need a little rescue from time to time, no matter where we come from. Every horse is worth the same, whether they are a million-dollar show horse or a horse off a kill lot. We treat them all the same.

All that to say… to begin that journey, I have officially found my next riding partner of the future: Rocio ND (Avery’s horse Romano ND “Vendetta”’s full brother), from our good friends and breeder Nicolas Diaz - Equestrian! This is actually the first horse I have ever purchased for myself. He’s a yearling c**t PRE/Andalusian. We’re so excited to welcome him into the family. ❤️

Our rescue team will always be our team, but in all honesty, they have some athletic riding limitations that Rocio won't. Starting with a young horse gives me the opportunity to shape him mentally from the ground up to become the best version of himself—all through liberty.

My goal with Rocio is to build a well-rounded partner that brings back the spirit of horses of the old—where your partner can do anything, rather than being stuck in one specialized box. As our relationship grows, we want to work cows, jump, do dressage, liberty, mounted shooting, trail ride, and explore the endless things you can do together.

From here, the goal isn’t to fit into a specific discipline—it’s to show what’s truly possible when you build a relationship on liberty.

Rocio represents a new chapter for us. Not a shift away from where we started, but a massive step forward in showing that every horse—regardless of their background, papers, or price tag—deserves to be understood and given a voice.

We wouldn’t be here without the incredible family and community that has grown around us over the years. From taking that bridleless ride across the country with Gami and Hal, to those life-changing rescue events that brought us Indigo, Nostalgia, and so many others—we’ve been through it all together. Every mile, every lesson, and every horse has brought us right to this moment.

This feels like a huge shift in momentum, but no matter how big the goals get, I’m just so grateful to have you all in our corner. Thank you for riding along with us, believing in this mission, and being such a huge part of our lives.

I was at the doctor the other day for my yearly check-up, and one of his first questions was, "How much exercise do you get in a day?"

I looked at him and said, "Probably about 2 to 3 hours a day..."

He stopped, looked right at me, and said, "Oh, so you're an overachiever, huh?" 😂

I let him know I just have to keep up with my horses!

I honestly still don't know if he knew I was being completely serious or not, but I couldn't help but laugh. Training at liberty definitely keeps me in shape, mostly because we're out there having so much fun that it doesn't even feel like work.

Hope you all are having a beautiful week with your horses! Don't forget to get your daily cardio with your horses in, whether it’s you who decides to run, or them. 😉

Here is a simple truth about horse training that we sometimes forget when we’re eager to ride:

When things get stressful, confusing, or a little spicy in the saddle, a horse isn't going to suddenly figure out a brand-new cue. They are going to revert to whatever they know best.

They fall back on their deepest habits.

If their default response on the ground is to brace, push through pressure, or tune you out, guess what their default is going to be when you’re on their back and things go sideways?

This is why we need to teach them as much as absolutely possible on the ground first.

Groundwork isn't just a pre-ride checklist or a way to burn off steam. It’s where you program their safety net. You want their automatic, split-second reaction to confusion to be softness, relaxation, and looking to you for direction.

If you can't get a soft, willing response when your boots are firmly on the dirt, you aren't going to get it from the saddle.

Take the extra time on the ground. Build the foundation so deep that when they do get overwhelmed, their "default" is exactly what keeps you both safe.

Yesterday Elouise and Shea celebrated their first birthday. Part of the celebration was there very first ride. ❤️ The pure joy they both had giggling, squealing, and giving the horses lots of kisses was just so special.

We planned long ago for Leo and Gami to be the first horses our children rode, so it was a bittersweet moment in that way. But what better horses to step up than Indigo, the horse who was once viewed as unrideable, and Sal, Leo’s half brother. They were perfect for there little riders. 🥹

We can’t thank Jennifer Bechard Photography enough for capturing these special moments.

Just working on our pole bending, Indigo says she’s got it down and it’s time to go fast! 😜
