Simple Solutions – An Advanced Course in Trust-Based Horsemanship with International Horsewoman, Clinician, and Equine Behaviorist, Anna Twinney “Confusion, Frustration and Even Violence Often Begin Where Knowledge, Creativity, and Wisdom End.” Are you struggling to solve a lingering behavioral issue with your horse? Does your horse do the same frustrating thing over and over again, but you can’t stop him? Has your horse had a traumatic experience that has stuck with her? Would you like to learn how to solve any training or behavioral issue without dominance, force, or violence? If you have had the privilege of attending one of Anna’s animal communication classes or horsemanship clinics then you know how life-changing and eye-opening these events can be. We are excited to announce that Anna is returning to Equine Voices, with a very special and unique event. Often, “behavioral issues” are met with “training”, “discipline”, and even punishment. But just like every being on the planet, horses do not act out without a reason. If you can discover the reason, eliminating the behavior becomes effortless. But to understand why your horses is acting as they are, you must be able to understand and communicate with them. The horse’s language is so much more than simple body language and physical cues, and over the course of a week, Anna will show you, in real time, with real examples, how you can solve your toughest issues with grace and ease, and deepen your bond with your horse. Through communication, partnership and trust-based ROTH methodologies, you will uncover who your horse really is, how to work with them as an individual, and learn to “listen” to one another, all while solving any issue your horse (or you) may have. Problem-solving, confidence, and harmony is created through an open mind, gaining knowledge, finding your creativity and understanding the way your horse perceives the world. Anna will show you some of the most common reasons for your horse’s remedial behaviors. Through demonstrations, discussions, human-to-human exercises, and hands-on work with the horses, you will be given the opportunity to create a tool box of methods and concepts to successfully solve any behavioral problem you encounter. You will solidify your ability to use methods based in trust and designed to have your horse want to work with you rather than feeling forced to submit to your will. What issues will Anna cover? Honestly, we don’t know. Why? Because she will be working with real horses, real issues, in real time. What makes this class so special and so unique is that this is not a pre-planned class in which Anna will tell you how to solve common problems and send you home to figure it out.
