The International Liberty Horse Association (ILHA) announces the highly-anticipated third annual The Liberty Festival with title sponsor Cavallo Hoof Boots. The festival will take place October 10-13 at the Kentucky Horse Park. This one-of-a-kind event is dedicated to celebrating the horse-human connection through the art of Liberty horsemanship.
Building on the resounding success of the 2023 Liberty Festival, which attracted over 1800 people from 45 states and 7 countries, this event has experienced remarkable growth and expansion. In response to increased demand for the Liberty discipline, the festival has been extended to span 4 days.
“The Liberty Festival was created for those who love Liberty, those who practice Liberty, those who perform at Liberty and those who simply want to learn more about Liberty,” said Event Coordinator, Dr. Elizabeth James. “We are so honored to have Cavallo Hoof Boots, joining this year as the Title Sponsor.”
Cavallo Hoof Boots is the world’s # 1 hoof boot brand and recently gave away their 1,000th pair of free Cavallo hoof boots for horse rescues, disaster efforts and therapy organizations.
“I have known owners, Greg and Carole, for years,” said Event Founder, Dan James. “Cavallo is an esteemed company recognized globally for their philanthropy and to have their support on this event is incredible.”
“The Liberty Festival perfectly aligns with our values of improving the lives of horses, ensuring they are treated with respect and kindness,” said Carole Herder, president of Cavallo Horse & Rider, Inc. “Gone are the days of muscling our partners into submission. Freedom and ease are directly in-line with Cavallo’s barefoot, healthy, and natural approach.”
The ILHA is the first and only organization dedicated to the Liberty discipline and celebrating the horse-human connection. Through our flagship event, the Liberty Festival, we provide a platform for enthusiasts, trainers, fans and performers to come together and celebrate their shared passion for Liberty. Our mission is to inspire, educate, and unite individuals from diverse backgrounds and skill levels through Liberty horsemanship by fostering a community rooted in respect, kindness, and appreciation for horses and those who love them.
Each year, the Liberty Festival adapts to provide attendees with more of what they want, and this year is no different. The ILHA Championship Show has expanded to accommodate more participants, and the arena time has increased to offer more educational demonstrations. A diverse lineup of international clinicians has been curated, and a revolutionary approach to sound management has been adopted.
The 2024 Liberty Festival promises to be an unforgettable celebration of the extraordinary connection between horses and humans. Join us for an immersive experience that will inspire, educate, and captivate horse enthusiasts of all levels.
