In the life of every horse, three days stand as pillars of destiny: the day they're born, the day they're gentled, and the day they're started under saddle. This profound journey of starting isn't about breaking spirits - it's about awakening partnerships ~ Anna Twinney

FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT STARTING HORSES...

What if you could start your young colt under saddle without breaking their spirit, riding out bucks, or dominating their young mind? Where 'breaking' becomes 'awakening' and first rides feel like dancing.

VOICES OF THE UNSTARTED: Sacred Colt Starting with Anna Twinney August 2-8, 2025 | Safe Acres Animal Sanctuary, Redmond, Oregon

This isn't your grandfather's colt starting program.

Join internationally renowned horse whisperer Anna Twinney for an intimate 7-day journey that will change everything you thought you knew about starting horses.

No ropes, no force, no fear.

A DIFFERENT PATH

In a world where quick fixes and force-based methods prevail, we choose a different way. You won't find endless round pen chasing, spirit-breaking techniques, or harsh methods like the "Running W." We don't believe in flooding horses with fear or using aggressive sacking out.

Force, submission, and shortcuts have no place in our approach to starting horses.

Instead, there's a whispered way that's transformed over 1,000 horses worldwide. From untouched mustangs to elite equine athletes, Anna Twinney's methodology will show you how trust creates what force never could.

THE HEART OF OUR APPROACH

A DEEPER CALLING

For over two decades, Anna Twinney has walked in the hoofprints of over 1,000 horses, from wild mustangs to Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin stables. Her unique methodology integrates animal communication, energy healing, and trust-based horsemanship to create something truly extraordinary.

As judge, demonstrator, and teacher worldwide, she brings unparalleled expertise in gentle starting methods that honor each horse's individual voice.

YOUR TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEY

During this intimate 7-day experience (limited to 10 participants), you'll master:

FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS:

• Creating successful programs from the ground up
• Reading individual horses of all ages, sizes, breeds & backgrounds
• Starting methods that honor each horse's nature
• Bridging groundwork to riding seamlessly
• Strategic round pen work - knowing when and when not to use it
• Transitioning confidently from arena to trail

DEEPER AWARENESS:

• Understanding true herd dynamics
• Reading subtle energy and body language
• Developing your own energetic presence
• Building authentic connections
• Recognizing and honoring learning styles
• Creating safe spaces for growth and trust

During this unique experience, you will walk a path of patience and understanding. You will honor each horse's journey through mindful preparation and deep respect for their individual character.

Natural learning flows through regular herd time, thoughtful breaks, and clear, compassionate communication.

This is where true partnerships begin - in the space between pressure and release, in the quiet moments of connection, in the gentle progression from ground to saddle.

THE ROTH METHODOLOGY

At the heart of this program lies Anna's pioneering ROTH methodology, where the boundaries between communication, energy, and horsemanship dissolve into something greater.

Through animal communication, we learn to hear the whispers that most miss.

Energy healing principles teach us to create spaces where trust can flourish.

Trust-based horsemanship shows us how to dance with our horses rather than dominate them.

This isn't just about starting horses - it's about awakening to the profound wisdom they carry.

As we develop our emotional intelligence and deepen our spiritual connection, we discover that true horsemanship is a journey of mutual growth. Here, behavioral understanding meets intuitive knowing, creating a foundation for partnerships that transcend traditional training.

THE PATH TO SADDLE

This transformative program uniquely bridges the gap between groundwork and riding, offering a comprehensive journey into the art of starting young horses under saddle. Through mindful progression, you'll experience:

• The art of ponying - a crucial skill in young horse development
• Strategic use of "dummy" riders for pre-ride assessment
• The delicate dance of first rides
• Professional track opportunities to ride young horses
• Seamless translation of ROTH methodologies from ground to saddle

A UNIQUE APPROACH TO RIDING

Unlike traditional starting programs, we don't rush to the saddle. Instead, we create a methodical, intuitive progression that honors both horse and handler. Every step builds confidence:

• Ground preparation that creates saddle success
• Clear communication systems that translate to mounted work
• Energy awareness that flows from ground to saddle
• Trust-building exercises that make first rides feel natural
• Safety protocols that protect both horse and human

YOUR INVITATION TO TRANSFORMATION

This isn't just another horsemanship course - it's an invitation to be part of a movement that's changing how horses are started under saddle.

Whether you're a guardian seeking understanding, a handler developing professional skills, or a rider on the professional track, this program offers multiple layers of learning and participation. Each person's journey is honored, just as each horse's journey is respected.

Join us in this sacred journey where every whisper is heard, every try is acknowledged, and every partnership blossoms in its own unique way.

The day a horse first accepts a rider can be either their greatest trauma or their most profound partnership awakening.

WHAT IF THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENT OF YOUR HORSE'S LIFE... Could be their most beautiful?
