RESTORING FREEDOM TO BE
Allison (Ali) has spent nearly her entire life in partnership with horses, finding meaning, challenge, and healing in their presence. With a Master’s degree in Education and 15 years of experience teaching science, she brings a strong foundation in facilitation, communication, and lifelong learning into both her therapeutic work and her riding instruction.
Ali became Eagala-certified as an Equine Specialist in 2016 and continues to deepen her training and experience within the model. She is passionate about creating spaces where clients—of any age—can show up authentically, explore their personal process, and connect with horses in ways that support growth and emotional well-being.
Whether supporting clients through equine-assisted therapy or guiding students in their riding journey, Ali brings curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for the horse-human relationship into every session.
Our Story
Everyone has a story and Liberty Reins LLC began its story in September of 2016. Owner and founder Allison Watson was in her 15th year of teaching when she began to realize that her true passion for her students was in their personal development and not in the subject she was teaching. In addition to helping others in personal growth and development, another life-long passion for Allison has been horses. Allison grew up on a dairy farm showing dairy cattle as a young girl and purchasing her first horse at the young age of eight. There was always something about the smell of a horse that broke through all the stink of every day life.​
