With the horse free from the very beginning
In 2014, I was with Carolyn Resnick in California, at her ranch for training in her Liberty Horse Training. Before that, I had been coached by Carolyn online and taken a course in Denmark, for her certified coach from the United States.
Maybe you've seen Carolyn in the movie, ”The path of the horse”. She is a well-known horseman trainer and the founder of Liberty Training) and a relationship-based horse training I took to Sweden in 2014. She has a background in western and dressage, and as a trainer, both of liberty, bitless dressage, and western. She has won several championships in the United States in a variety of disciplines, trained horses to grand prix level and transformed very aggressive horses to cooperative riding horses. She is an older lady with a lifetime of horses behind her
Living with the wild horses
Even as a child, she studied and lived, at times with wild horses and learned their individual language in the herd. At some point, she gained the wild horses trust and respect, and was able to ride the lead mare. I would like to say that Carolyn is for horses, what Dian Fossey was for gorillas. (Did you see the movie, ”The mountains of gorillas”, which is based on this person etologs life)
As a child in the parents ' ranch she was only allowed to just spend time with the horses, not use any tack and not force them into anything. It was her father's way, so that she could keep herself safe. She had a mustang, as she rode without tack out of the nearby desert. Just being with the horses and give them total freedom, she recieved a fantastic connection with them.
Relationship-based Communication
For more than 20 years, I have searched for the highest, the freest, and deepest of communication with a horse. And yes, I have found that it is not in the Natural Horsemanship genre. When I found Carolyn in the film ”The path of the horse,” in which she danced with a stallion at liberty, I knew that I had found the right way.
What is unique about her method is that she work all of the horses free at liberty, without tack and without coercion or roundpens, and the great thing is that this will lead to really dance with the horses.
At Carolyn´s place, I had a deeper education in the training of horses at liberty, dancing and have fun together. I had one-on-one education and training 3 to 4 horses at Liberty, which is a kind of freedom dressage), as well as the preparation of bitless riding and the development of rein contact.
Carolyns philosophy and Liberty training is based on the relationship and a deep connection with the horse and the horse´s desire for companionship. It is based on the horse's natural herd behaviour.
The horse always has a choice, to decide whether to cooperate or not. Hästträningsvärlden today it's all about putting the equipment on horses, in order to control it, instead, in order to ensure that the control is not needed, says Carolyn.
To work a horse with no tack goes more than twice as fast through the freedom it gives to a horse to develop the horse's desire to follow our leadership and to fulfill our desires.
When you are training a horse, in the sense of freedom in this condition, to communicate with the
naturally, they are more focused on the development of the relationship with the horse than that performance.
In this way, performance automatic, and has a much higher quality product than if you focus on training the horse's performance.
By means of the freedom that is given to it, and achieved a deeper level of well-being, and a wealth of know-how. The main focus is to bring the freedom for the horse, in order to be able to control the training effect to suit their own needs and well-being in the here and now.
Even as a child, she studied and lived, at times, wild horses, and learned to their individual languages in a group. At some point, she was vildhästarnas trust and respect, and was able to ride the ledarstoet.
A deep friendship and a natural herd behavior is the basis
The use of the horse's natural herd behavior and the universality of the code of conduct of the nature, leading us to the magic of the dance of the horse. Learn about this code of conduct, and communicate more effectively with a horse, how to increase your spirituality in touch with all that is alive, and will allow us to find our authentic self,” and show us how dancing with the free spirit of the horse.
The method is focused on the development of cooperation and enthusiasm of the horse, by increasing the sense of belonging, trust, respect-and of its willingness and focus. It is a journey of self-discovery and personal and spiritual growth. Learn leadership skills that are livshöjande, and a horse-drawn to it.
Nancy is unique in comparison to other coaches, and the like, and the results she achieves with the horses, even if the other natural horsemanship methods have failed. She doesn't put any horses in a rundcorall, or the force of it. This is a horse who initiate the contact.
Her approach is a kind of motståndsfri, and without coercion, and of the press, not even to the confusion of nice things to ask a horse to do it, and it is – but with concealed latch that horse cannot really say 'no'.
The great thing about Carolyns training is that there is no equipment on the horse's terms and conditions. It will come up in the horse's happiness, confidence, willingness, respect, and a desire to listen to and be by your side. Any relationship based on friendship and mutual respect, to walk side-by-side as partners, and to enjoy the dance of life, which is a.
I have had the great honor of Carolyn as a professional coach, bring her the message and use the the things I learned from her.
She has helped me to develop my utbildningssprogram in order to spread the understanding and the knowledge of how to communicate with horses, freedom and teaching the magic of dance.
Because of my training courses for some of the world's top horse people by Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling, Buck Brannaman, and Fréderic Pignon, I have come to the conclusion that Nancy Resnicks way for you to communicate with horses, freedom from the very beginning, it's the most natural, free and friendly I've ever been to, based on the horse's freedom of the will, and the horse's own language, but the equipment, force, pressure, and remission, negative reinforcement, or in confined spaces.
I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to go to the individual training and education, for her, and she has helped me to develop my training. She is a fantastic horse woman that lived for periods of time, with the wild horses-as a child, where she learned their rituals and internal communications. She is an older woman, but she was the first to work horses at Liberty decades ago.
Working with horses, freedom through the horse's natural flockritualer that Nancy taught me the foundation of my training program, a relationsbaserad hästkommunikation and horsemanship Liberty to Piaffe from the Connection to the Message. You will learn how to develop a deep relationship with the horse, and the shape of your drömhäst!
