ROTH HHC I 2012 at Zuma’s Rescue Ranch, Littleton, CO

This year’s Holistic Horse Course was held at the beautiful Zuma’s Rescue Ranch in Littleton, CO. Not only did the students learn a lot, but they had fun doing it.

But don’t take our word for it! Here’s what they had to say about it:

I have been wanting to come to this training for a couple of years, now. This course was worth the wait. I have learned so much!

-Pam Swigged,  Queen Creek, AZ

Totally awesome 2-weeks, loved and learned every single minute of it, not just about horses but the whole holistic picture and the interconnectedness of the all in terms of energy. Will take away many, many tools that will help me in all areas of my life. Total respect and admiration for Anna.

-Sheila Moore, Auckland New Zealand

Anna Twinney has created and perfected the single most comprehensive horsemanship program I have seen anywhere. She brings to the table amazing skills, talents, gifts, and ultimately- magic – and possess also the unique ability to successfully and honestly impart theses skills to her students. She teaches all aspects of horsemanship – not just techniques – with a high standard of ethics like no other.

I would suggest there is no other human being with a greater connection to animals and their well-being, than Anna Twinney.

-Laura Schumann, Janesville, OH

A great 2-weeks with so much new learning and so many new experiences. I still don’t really know what my path is with horses. Perhaps, when I return home it will all unfold.

-Jeni Macnab, Perth, Scotland

Fantastic 2-weeks. I have gained confidence in handling different horses. I enjoyed the challenge of getting out of my comfort zone and working with my energy level to gauge the different horses. My instincts were honed in this course.

-Heidi Reid, Reynoldsburg, OH

Life changing experience. 2-weeks of giving and receiving unconditional love to and from the horses. A physical and spiritual challenge to feel the incredible;e energy from Anna and her team as they pushed us towards excellence. Zuma’s Rescue Ranch is ther most beautiful horse rescue that I have ever seen. Jodi, is an amazing woman who has created a safe, healthy and nurturing learning experience for the horses. Each horse I was privileged to work with had its own story.

Anna has an amazing gift. The skill set she passed on to all of us to develope our natural horsemanship will stay with us a lifetime. The entire learning experience is indescribable on so many levels. It goes beyond what I have experienced with other horse training clinicians. She takes the lessons to the next level. Extremely rewarding experience that I would recommend to anyone who truly wants to go beyond the more traditional methods of horse training. If you have ever asked yourself, “Is there more to learn?” then you need to discover Anna’s training methods and experience them for yourself.

HHC Graduation 2011

20011 graduates from the ROTH Comprehensive Holistic Horsemanship
Modular Certification Course in Colorado
4/29-11/7/2011

 

I am pleased to be a graduate from the ROTH Comprehensive Holistic Horsemanship Foundation program and proud of receiving the certificate.

As always, it was pleasure to watch and listen to Anna. Her lectures are interesting with plenty of stories of horses, demos clear and detailed.  She really has helped me to open my mind, truly listen the whisper and gentle my touch with horses.

The challenge for the modular course has been scheduling time for little over 6 months. While attending the six 3 1/2 day modules, the “normal” life still goes on and demands attention. It is important to constantly keep going with the case studies, personal horse psychology project and team project for the course; otherwise the time runs out fast. There is really no time off between modules.

The benefit of the modular course is definitely getting the information in digestible portions. I loved to get out after the module was finished and get on works studies with the exercises we had just learned at the class, while everything was still fresh in my mind. It was great to meet and work with different horses at HPL, Zuma’s and Joder Ranch.

Looking forward to see, what is next on my path…

I started working with horses about 4 years ago, helping the “person” relax on their horse to keep themselves calm while riding.  It was rewarding to see.  As I stepped into the round pen in doing coaching and asking our amazing friends to facilitate healing it became obvious I needed to be more comfortable with the horses, especially when traveling and not knowing many horses’ personalities, quirks and sensitivities.

I joined Anna’s Roth Modular Course to gain comfort, leadership and a more complete understanding of horse behaviour.  Did I hit the jack pot, the course ran 6 mos. and it was quite a serious matter.  I  started my first class with my head down being overwhelmed at what I was asked to do, looking back it was simply “moving a horse”.  I had not a clue.  As the course continued I became more and more confident.  I feel I can get with a horse, assess the situation, read her/his personality and simply ask the horse what the situation is, giving the horse equal time as their owner.  The course has put the horse on equal ground as the human.  Quite amazing really.

Anna’s course was complete and took me deeper than I had ever planned, on most occasions I would opt out of things, and with Anna’s confidence in me, she took me beyond my comfort zone.  Going beyond my comfort zone, that is what I help other’s do as a coach, yet, she has helped me find the value of really stepping out so far beyond. It transforms lives, both in my personal/professional life as well as the lives of horses I touch.

Anna has questions that took me deeper within myself.  One which really helped me decide how I was to take this course deeper.  I believe it something like “how is this course going to help me make a difference in the horse world”.

I believe I am to help horse owners understand themselves by taking steps to understand their horses as mirror and facilitator to a deeper connection and relationship.  My life has already started and I have seen amazing differences with that deeper knowledge on both sides, the owner as well as their trusted horse.

Thank you Anna for the in depth introduction to the world of the horse.

As a professional horse trainer, I felt the need to round out my own skill set, and after diligent comparison against many other programs, I chose to attend Anna’s Foundation Holistic Horsemanship Course.  Anna is unique in her field, teaching how to create a true trusting partnership with the horse through the application of sound and gentle natural horsemanship techniques, use of energy, and the Language of Equus.  The Foundation Course is a “must do” for every horseman.

–William L. Pelkey, Ph.D. Founder and Owner of Equigetics LLC

 

The ROTH Modular course more than met my expectations.  I started with the goal of learning some new techniques to help me be better for my horses.  I left the course with a whole new perspective of horsemanship.  I feel I now have a toolbox to help with many situations, whether it’s a behavioral or a relationship issue.  I am looking forward to applying what I have learned, continuing the journey and bringing value to the horses.  Thanks for the experience.

Sam Marick

 

Anna, I would never have guessed taking this course would have been like it turned out.  I thank you for making or guiding me to the deepest part of my brain to “re-tool” my life.  It has been a great ride from the ground.

Cathy Amwake

 

The ROTH modular class is TLC for the human and horse!  This is a life altering challenge that will take you on a ride to a new understanding, appreciation and connection to that most marvelous world of Equine.

Lloyd Mower

 

Anna’s modular course was an amazing opportunity for me to start to truly learn about the horse.  Through the instruction, coaching and practice, I felt I began a journey into a fantastic new world.  The horses and Anna were my guides as I explored the language of Equus as well as my own capacity for “reaching out”.

Jan Dietrich, CO

 

This is a life enhancing extended experience for both horses and humans.  Anna and the ROTH team, pay close attention to the needs and personalities of the horses and the humans.  Anna and Brack dedicate their intention and responses to create success for both horses and humans.  It is really a rare commitment and competence to pay very close attention to the communication and behavior of both.  The results are equine and human development and this creates larger fields of awareness and relationship.  And so I complete the modular with a much more lively perception of our interspecies interconnections.  And this helps me to be more in love with life.  Anna and ROTH people give more than 100% and are authentically present, engaged and creative in teaching us to learn the language of horses, to become aware of our communications, to contribute to the best for all.

Mary Ehrgood

 

On this, the last day of the modular course, which began some eight months ago I find it hard to put into words what the course has meant to me.  To say it was life changing sounds trite but life changing it was and it and will be for years to come.

In this course with Anna’s wisdom and compassion, Brack’s enthusiasm and support and Adam, Sonke and Elaine’s confidence in us I was able to overcome a huge obstacle of fear, learn the steps to basic, good horsemanship and feel the confidence I came here seeking.

This course is by no means easy, but with dedication it is possible!  I know more about myself and horses than I ever imagined I would….and the journey has been a blessing.  It feels like a new beginning.

THE 2010 HOLISTIC HORSMANSHIP CERTIFICATION COURSE

“An Indian friend of mine that lives life the old way, once told me that every one should own a horse.  I asked why and he said that things just come to you when you do.  I, the cultured white man thought he was speaking of material things, good fortune.  I see today as I fly home far above the clouds from the HHC that the fortune that comes to you are the riches that come to you when your heart is open.  That is the gifts that the horses will give you.  I have owned horses most of my life but our communication was pretty much one way.  I thank Anna and her team for showing us that the riches that will be found through these methods.  It is beyond natural horsemanship, it is truly Holistic Horsemanship.”
- Adam Edwards, CO

“It was cloudy before but now it’s all clear”
- Camilla Ersson, Sweden

“It’s amazing how much one person can learn and grow in only 10 days”
- Dana Uzwiak, CT

“Can’t wait to start my field studies and come back next year!”

“This course has been a great answer to what happens when I, ‘just do it.’ Right now I could be wondering, ‘what if’, and wallowing in regret. Instead I am having an internal celebration.”
- Dawn Lesinski, CT

“It is so deep to feel the team when I was working in the round pen, and also in the classroom.  It feels we care so much with each other.  I am so happy with this course!  Thank You”
- Liv Hektoen, Sweden

“If you think you know nothing or all, this is the course to change your mind.”
- Sonke Dose, Canada

“This course has seriously changed my life.  I found my life goal and I have a plan to put to it.  Anna has shown me (and so many others) important lessons in life regarding horses and people.  She found an amazing way to help the horses teach us.  She finds a way to match up the people to the horse with the correct lesson to learn.  The way she reads horses is amazing.  It is a passion like no other.  She has an amazing way of reading people just as well.  This course was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced in my life!”
- Tanya King, CT

“This last session in this morning was so fine.  To share all this with each other; we are a good team.”
- Yrsa Paulin, Sweden

Here’s what they had to say about their experience…

“I have just completed the 2-week Holistic Horse course.  It was absolutely amazing.  I feel that in just 2 weeks I accomplished all my goals and more.  Having the opportunity to work with the Rescue horses and help them in their journey was a true gift.

Anna and her team were very professional and talented.  Every one of them had so much to offer and their energy and talent was unlimited.  Everyone should take this course.”

Debra Thomas, CO

“Anna Twinney’s Reach Out to Horses, Natural Horsemanship is a profound opportunity to deepen in the knowledge and wisdom of all things horse, as well as life lessons for yourself. Anna, and her team of instructors made sure that all of us experienced a “win” in all the challenges we faced. I learned that when we treat horses, and for that matter, all living things, with respect and dignity, it will change the way you see the world. I’m grateful to CHR and their staff for giving us a place, a campus, for our work. I hope to continue to be involved with them for the benefit of the horses.  I am deeply grateful for the time I spent with this group and our teachers, both two legged and four legged.

Anna, Brax, Rob and Helen, thank you so much for your patience with me. I am truly so very grateful and hope to work with you again.”

Grace Gabrielli, CO

“Every time I have worked with Anna over the years it is a life changing experience  This program was so extensive, challenging, and intensive there is no doubt it has changed my views, confidence and understanding of the trust based two way communication with horses!  I have learned so much about myself, humans and horses it is hard to imagine not taking this course.  I am walking away a better, humbled, thoughtful, open hearted person than when I walked in two weeks ago.  I can’t wait to go out and practice this knowledge.

Thanks so much to Helen, Brack and Rob Too!”

Jen Hustis, NE

“There is no way to do this work without having lots of patience with yourself and the horse.  I like working on my own with the horse but I would never learn or get better if I didn’t go through these courses.

My aim is to help and not hinder the horse…in a way that is gentle yet clear and strong.

Reach Out to Horses Introductory Holistic Horse Course is the perfect course for anyone wanting to truly understand the language of the horse.

Many thanks to the trainers, Rob, Helen and Brack who made this course top notch. And especially Anna whose incredible understanding and impeccable insight of the horses and the people shines a light on our World.”

Rebecca Zepp, CO

“This course is for anyone with a love of horses who is willing to learn the language of Equus, apply themselves openly and whole heartedly and to work day after day to listen and to improve.  The reward is knowing more – much more – about yourself and the horses who give so freely.  Anna is a wonderful teacher.”

Sue Beggs, CO

I must say that this course is far most the best one I ever did.  I have been following courses a little bit everywhere in the world, to learn as much as I can about the language of the horse and training in a non violent way.  It is the first time that it all became clear for me!  The course is very well build and for people on all levels, even if you would think you know a lot already or having already a lot of experience, this course always teaches you something.  Not only about the language and the training but also about yourself!  It is a life changing experience!  I would recommend it to everybody!

It is well build, it is not a private course  but you get your personal attention and development which is great and exceptional for these courses!

And Anna is a great teacher that teaches every person on his learning level and horse experience.  There is not one thing that I would say I missed in the course!  Thank you Anna for this great experience and you motivated and opened my eyes to a new world!

I will definitely follow some more courses !!

What a great and learn full experience !
Kimberley Vanderheyden
Belgium

“The Natural Horsemanship Clinic is the most comprehensive training I have ever had.  Not only for the handling and communicating with the horses, but also addressing our personal emotions that block our own progress in life.  Anna is a brilliant teacher that puts you in the perfect environment to achieve success.  Thank you for giving me the encouragement to achieve the confidence I knew was in me.  In gratitude.

PS: This class was a bargain for all the one-on-one received!”
