Trust-Based Training for the Untouched, Rehabilitated, Spooky, Sensitive and Traumatized Horse

Join International Equine Behaviorist and Natural Horsemanship Clinician, Anna Twinney, in the wilds of Wyoming to discover what the American Mustang can teach you about true, trust-based horsemanship.

“This is a must for any horseman or horsewoman with a mind to work with the wild ones.  Even the experienced hand does not simply gentle a mustang. They are spiritual and earthly beings at the mercy of humans floundering in their attempts to "manage" this truly indigenous North American species. ROTH methodologies honor every aspect of these wild horses and put solutions to their plight in our hands. I highly recommend this… unique experience that cannot be replicated!” - Sarah, Windsor, CA

Wild horses are not domestic horses in the wild. Like wolves and dogs, mustangs are very different from the horses in our barns and pastures at home. To truly be successfull, trainers and guardians alike must find a new way of training that understands this crucial difference, and works with the mind and heart of the wild horse.

It is especially important if you have adopted a mustang and found yourself struggling with common mustang issues.

Have you found yourself saying:

• "I can feed my mustang but I can't touch him"
• "My mustang is untrainable. So I've just left her alone in the pasture."
• "I tried training my mustang but he became extremely aggressive"
• "I can't help my mustang if she colics or has a physical issue because she won't let me halter her, pick up her feet, etc."

Having a horse that you can not touch or help, should they get into trouble, is dangerous for both horse and human.

This crosses over to domestic horses as well. What many don't realize is that the methods for the mustangs can be highly effective with your horse at home as well. Untouched, traumatized, rehabilitated, very senstitive and fractious horses can all be helped by the secrets the mustangs have to share.

Incorporating her decades of experience in equine behavior, herd dynamics, body language, and interspecies communication, Anna will be your guide to the world of the wild horse, as she shows you how to take the lessons from the wild and untouched ones and apply them to your horses.

You will explore true partnership between horse and human; effective training that does not include roping, chutes or stress. It is time to put away the tools of dominance and work with a new set of skills that promote trust and relationship.

Filmed in the iconic lands of Wyoming, you will join the mustangs of the McCullough Peaks, the Pryor Mountains, and the Spanish mustangs of the Dakotas to explore the very same techniques taught on the exclusive Reaching Out to the Untouched Horse Clinic.

In this comprehensive program you will discover how to:

• Gentle any horse calmly, safely, and without stress
• Discover the value of visualization, energetic connection and body language
• Use trust-based training without the use of roping, choking or using chutes
• Build permanent trust and respect between horse and human
• Recognize, capture and work with the whisper of the horse
• Speak the subtleties of the language of the horse
• Encourage horses in the pasture to come to them (no more chasing or catching)
• Read their horse’s character, personality, history, and learning styles and match the training program
  to their individual needs
• Differentiate between “flooding” and desensitizing
• Use appropriate feel, timing, and pressure/release
• Acknowledge the "try" to encourage and motivate their horses
• Use new tools and aids like the Horseman’s Rope and the Equestrian Education Rope for life-long lessons
• Introduce their horses to the halter, leading, bathing and other skills
• Eliminate biting
• Use water for training
• Fill holes in their horse’s training
• And much more…

Entering the world of the mustang will help you to truly understand your horse and to gain the partnership you've always dreamed of creating.
