2024 Healing Horses at the Historic Bitterroot Ranch, WY
The Founder of Reach Out to Horses®, Anna Twinney, returns once again for another exciting adventure at the historic Bitterroot Ranch. Join Anna for a life-changing weeklong experience you will not find anywhere else in the world!
During this one-of-a-kind clinic you will explore the world of the horse in ways you may never have even thought possible. Through a very hands-on approach you will not only gain incredible insight into the mind of the horse but you will learn Anna’s secrets to creating a trust-based partnership with your horse and get the results you maybe have only dreamed of.
And while you are learning these invaluable tools, you will also be enjoying the scenic beauty, the amazing accommodations and, of course, the incredible riding of the incomparable Bitterroot Ranch.
While open to anyone, the information is particularly invaluable for healers, animal communicators, prospective horse guardians, horse lovers, riders, trainers, managers, those on a spiritual journey and individuals seeking a deeper relationship with animals as well those seeking additional healing modalities.

ITINERARY
SATURDAY (June 1st): REIKI Master Students arrive at Bitterroot Ranch in the Afternoon.
SUNDAY (June 2nd): Arrive at the Bitterroot Ranch in the afternoon and prepare for your first of many mouth-watering family style dinners. Full day Reiki Master Training
MONDAY: Learning the Horse’s Language. On the first day you work with your horse at liberty, uncovering his/her personality, character traits and learning style, and discover the language of the horse through body language, energy and interspecies communication. By using this safe and effective training tool you will create a foundation for both you and your horse that can be taken to the arena, the trail or virtually anywhere. To understand our horses healing responses, you need to understand their gestures first.
TUESDAY: T.L.C. – Trust-Based Leadership and Compassionate Communication. If you have been searching for a more evolved horsemanship method, if you want to take your skills and your relationship with your horse to a deeper level, then spend a day in Anna’s world! On Day Two you will examine some of the most important elements in creating a trust-based relationship with your horse in-hand and getting the results you've always wanted but haven't been able to consistently achieve. Set yourself up for success as you learn relaxation exercises, boundaries & appropriate leadership skills to keep you safe during a Reiki – energy healing for horses – session. These same exercises create a space for the horses to heal and overcome behavioral “problems”.
WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY: The Art of Healing. Next you will go on a comprehensive journey into one of the most popular healing arts in the world today. Originally developed in the early 20th century, Reiki, translated from Japanese as "Universal Life Force", is already used in clinics, private practices and hospitals around the globe.
With this holistic, non-invasive style of energy healing you can: Alleviate stress, fears, worry and frustrations l Eliminate chronic physical, mental & emotional conditions l Assist the body in cleansing different types of toxins l Help break unwanted habits or conditions like smoking, overeating and alcoholism l Work on anything from your pets, houseplants and even your computer! l and lots more...*
Over 2 days you will discover exactly what Reiki is, how to use it to heal yourself and others through hands-on and distance healing and become certified as a Reiki Level I & II Practitioner.
As if that wasn’t enough, the afternoon trail rides will give you a chance to relax and enjoy the magnificent landscape that is the Bitterroot Ranch.
FRIDAY: Healing Horses. Horses love Reiki. Horses, and animals in general, are great clients for energy work because they have no preconceived notions or skepticism that often get in the way of human receptivity. An animal is simply present to the experience. If it likes it, it likes it and if it doesn't it leaves: Simple as that. Horses in particular create a space for you to learn the language of energy and their responses and acceptance is reflected instantly. Anna will share her personal discoveries and how she developed Reiki for Horses.
On the last day you will learn how to apply your newfound art to your horses and other animal companions. Anna will cover how to:
- Correctly ask for "permission" from your animal companions
- Set up a safe Reiki session
- Scan your horse's body, visually & energetically
- Use proper Reiki hand positions on your horse
- Notice your horse’s registers
- Locate and balance chakras
- Use the pendulum
- Deepen your understanding of the language of the horse
- Recognize the duration of sessions
- Close a Reiki session
- Take advantage of the amazing power of Love Lessons
- And more…
SATURDAY: Sign up for the famous Bitterroot Ranch picnic trail ride or relax on the grounds and practice your new Reiki skills.
SUNDAY: One last delicious breakfast while you say goodbye to the wonderful new friends you’ve made and then it is time to return home to take your new skills back to your own horses.
"The Reiki workshop opened my eyes, my mind, my heart to a deeper level of communication and I am grateful for the experience. I know it is the beginning of a new path – one I look forward to taking.” – Ruth, New York
Through demonstrations, lectures and exercises you will experience first hand how all contact with your horse; your intentions, your body language, your energy and more, form a communication system. You will learn how to gain trust with your horse while training; read, assess & attune to your horse; establish a clear communication; identify & understand how horses talk through body language; build a partnership for competition, pleasure riding and more.
And by the end of the week you will see your horse, yourself and your world with completely different eyes!
