Alycia Burton is an expert when spotting potential in the horses she takes on. She has an uncanny ability to see what others don’t or can’t. Horses that have been thrown away, beaten, broken and abused arrive on her property. Horses that have had their spirits crushed, who have hurt themselves or hurt their trainers now stand as a testimony of her long hours, care and attention invested into rehabilitating them.
From a Facebook photo on her profile page, Alycia’s rise to fame started out by accident and took her by surprise. That small photo of her FREE JUMPING led her to make a small video to show her sceptics that the photo was legitimate and not photo shopped; it was just her and her horse playing around in the paddock. Now with over two million views on her videos and over three million on her YouTube channel, what started out as playing around in the paddock has gained her international attention, as people sit captivated, watching her FREE RIDE.
Alycia’s FREE RIDING is unique, she does not follow any current method of training and she learnt most of what she knows from her horses. In the documentary, people are given the opportunity to see firsthand how something so dangerous, so new and so inspirational can be possible. See for yourself, the extremely high level of trust between the rider and her horse and learn the ins and outs of how to do it for yourself. With stunning New Zealand scenery as a backdrop, this DVD combines extreme sport with beauty and passion.
