Working a Horse at Liberty – the Ultimate Conversation

A horse at liberty is working without a halter, bridle, rider, saddle, longe line or longeing cavesson; the horse is completely free. . . free to run around way too fast, free to switch directions, free to face his rear at you, free to stop and roll, free to snort and look away, free to respond to you.

So what aids do you have to offer the horse who is responding to you at liberty? What if the horse decides to run crazy free when you have actually asked him to walk? You have no aid to back up your voice and body language . . . so what now?
