We’re excited to welcome Sylvia Zerbini for a special two-day liberty clinic on August 4–5, 2025, in Redmond, Washington.
Sylvia is an internationally acclaimed liberty trainer and former star of Cavalia and Odysseo, where she performed with up to 17 horses at liberty. She comes from a long line of performers—her father was an animal trainer and her mother an aerialist—and began performing with horses at the age of 7. With decades of experience in classical circus arts and live equine performance, Sylvia blends artistry with technical depth in a way few others can.
Today, she travels the world sharing her methods, helping riders of all backgrounds learn to communicate in a way that horses truly understand. Her teaching focuses on body language, energy, breath, and awareness,—refining the way we show up for our horses and respecting their natural ways of communicating.
This clinic is limited to just 7 participants, each receiving two private 30-minute sessions per day. Sylvia works hands-on with every horse and handler, tailoring her coaching to your experience level and goals. Whether you're just starting liberty or looking to advance, you'll get focused, personal instruction in a supportive and thoughtful format.
