Crawford Hall

Crawford was Anna’s mentor in the world of Natural Horsemanship and the biggest influence in her formative training years at the Monty Roberts International Learning Center. As Dean of Students he was paramount in the training of instructors, including Anna. She and Crawford ultimately became a team, conducting the signature thirty minute demonstrations of non-violence together. Anna became Crawford’s legs. She worked in the round pen while he described her work to the audience. And in that way he would teach her and she would perfect her skills.

Excalibur "X"

Excalibur, a Spanish Mustang from the open range of the Spanish Mustang Registry in Wyoming, has partnered with Anna as a life coach and teacher.  Every visitor or student who comes to Whispering Feather Farm has the honor to meet X. Sporting three swirls, he has deep wisdom and an old soul. His connection to Anna spans lifetimes. He tests her every chance he gets to keep her honest and true to her calling.
