Juliette Cimetiere (JC Horse Training) on her Horsemanship Journey with Cavalia, Liberty, & Classical Dressage

Horsemanship Breakthroughs Podcast Episode 13

An Interview with Juliette Cimetiere @jchorsetraining on her Horsemanship Journey with Cavalia, Liberty, & Classical Dressage

In this episode, I talk with the incredible Juliette from @jchorsetrianing.

Juliette is a trainer based out of Redmond Washington. Her training methods focus on building a balanced, relaxed, relationship between horse and rider. She teaches dressage as well as liberty work (focusing on building a connection on the ground, on and offline).

Juliette has over 18 years of experience riding training and showing horses in dressage, eventing, hunter jumpers, English and western performance. She has been teaching in the Pacific Northwest for 9 years, and has recently started teaching clinics locally and internationally, in British Columbia. Her training methods combine Natural Horsemanship, and dressage, to create balance and harmony with horse and rider.

In this episode we discuss:

• Juliette’s broad horsemanship journey including vaulting and clicker training, liberty, and classical dressage, to where she is today training a large variety of breeds.
• Juliette’s experience working for CAVALIA (the incredible international “horse circus”)- including how the horses go travelling internationally.
• Her journey into liberty training through experimentation.
• What lead her to look into classical dressage
• We discuss issues with “modern” / competition dressage
• The key to enriching your horse’s life.
• Mistakes she see’s horse people making and mistakes she’s made in the past
• The bits vs bites debate
• Positive vs Negative reinforcement debate
• Juliette also tells us who inspires her and what she is reading & learning about today
• Plus how social media can be a good thing!
• AND so much more!!!

What I love about Juliette is that she emphasises the importance of experimentation in training, trusting your intuition, and tailoring your training to the individual horse.

I loved talking to Juliette and I hope you enjoy the interview!
