TF Knight Hawke Teams Up with Former Cavalia Star Sylvia Zerbini for a Three-Day Grand Liberte Weekend

After meeting Knight Hawke at Talaria's A Night in Ancient Alexandria, Sylvia asked if we would allow her to use him in her upcoming local weekend clinic - Grand Liberte - featuring  her unique style of working with eight stallions and geldings together.  During her segment in which she  introduces a young uninitiated stallion to her style of cooperative training, Knight Hawke represented how positive, focused & consistent, no-pressure methods could be used effectively, with relatively quick results.  It was a remarkable session and it is easy to understand why Sylvia has been such a success both prior to and during her years at Cavalia.  Keep an eye on this remarkable horsewoman.
