Hey!
I’m Thea and I’m a young equestrian.
This channel is about my life with my ponies, jumping, hacking. . . and just general madness. Liberty, bridleless and trick training and competing here and there!
For the horse, not to the horse.
Inspiring a new way of working with our animals, hoping to start a career in ethical horsemanship, teaching, training and performing.

As some of you may know, Yoda and I were at the British Bridleless competition yesterday. I was planning on vlogging, but truthfully, it was a day of rubbish luck and I wasn’t in the headspace to film (it wouldn’t have been very exciting content either…) Hope you understand as I know you were excited to see how the day played out 🩵

Calling all horse-mad kids, brave teens, and the parents who support big dreams 💫
We are SO excited to announce Thea Harkness of Thea Equestrian as a trainer at the British Liberty Show 2026
— and she's bringing serious fun, inspiration, and boundary-pushing energy with her.
At just 14 years old, Thea is proving that anyone of any age can begin the journey into liberty and natural horsemanship. Her work shows that connection can start as play — and that learning with horses doesn't have to be heavy or intimidating. 🤩
At BLS 2026, Thea's demos will show that:
🐴Liberty is for beginners (and kids!)
⭐️Connection comes before control
🌿Young riders absolutely belong in this space 🎉And yes... bridleless fun is possible
Thea is inspiring the next generation to question tradition, lead with empathy, and believe that kindness and courage can go hand in hand.
If you've got a child who lives and breathes horses — or you believe the future of horsemanship should be lighter, kinder and more curious — this is one you won't want to miss.
📆4-5 April 2026 | Easter Weekend
📍9 Hartpury University
Tickets are LIVE - Horsemanshiptraining.co.uk
The future of horsemanship isn't coming someday.
It's already here! 🥳

No vlogmas today I’m afraid as I simply haven’t had the time to film one! But going off tomorrow to film something that I’m sure is going to be very chaotic, entertaining and lots of fun!

Happy 2 years little Popsy, can’t believe it’s been so long since we picked up the scruffy little yak that stole our hearts 🥰
You truly are my little ray of sunshine, you make me smile every day, no matter what and I love you to the moon and back. My best friend always and forever 💞
