Carolyn Resnick Horsemanship: Liberty Horse Training

I am really excited! I am taking a new horse “Chip” in training for my project horse for the Insider Circle and Extended Circle Program that will be starting this spring on April16th, 2011.  The official announcement will be soon, and that is when you will be able to register for those of you who are interested. The Insider Circle will be open to 40 students in two separate classes, and the Extended Circle program will be open to everyone. You will get to read all about the course details soon.

Back to Chip!

Chip is a yearling wild horse that was taken from the Theodore Roosevelt National Park’s band of wild horses in the North Dakota Badlands. He was three months old when he was taken from his mother. He had pneumonia and had to be nursed back to health. In the process of his recovery, he developed orphan foal syndrome. He lost his social skills and instincts he was born with from too much human handling to get him well. It will be my job to raise him back to what his natural behavior would have been.

When a foal is born, he is born with… Read more

I want to take this time again to welcome newcomers to my site and how to get started with my method. My blog is a classroom to support the teaching materials of my books and DVDs.

If you are new to horses and are interested in my method, you should work with someone in person who knows my method. If you would like, let me know in the comments section where you are located and I may be able to put you in contact with someone who is familiar with my method and has a strong successful background training horses and humans in your area.

Here are some of the basics that you need in order to start with my method:

If you have all of these things, I can teach you my method just through this web site along with my teaching material.

If your horse does not… Read more

Today’s blog is a bit of a mixed bag of items I’d like to bring you.

The first is to say that after having some trouble getting access to my original Facebook page, we have had to set up a new one. This was a bit frustrating as I had nearly 500 fans and have now lost them all. So it would be great if you could visit the page and ‘Like’ me

You will find the page here:

Speaking of Facebook, you can also give each my my blogs the Facebook Thumbs Up by clicking the little button at the top of each post.

Next I’d like to tell you about progress on my new book. The book is a detailed ‘how-to’ on my Method and I am currently working very hard to try and get it finished by the fall, which will hopefully mean publication sometime next year. In order to do this, what I’m thinking of do is bringing you regular excerpts from the Waterhole Rituals Insider Class on the Tuesday’s blog so you can learn from the participants and I will have… Read more

I see us as herd members wanting to achieve a better way to be with horses. There is a saying “People who live in glass houses, should not throw stones,” but I feel it would be better to say, “ do not throw stones.”

There is a pathway to transform & evolve the humane treatment of animals and others. It is a path that does not need to use hurtful finger pointing at individuals that are being abusive to horses from our personal perspective. Personal perspective is always changing. People are really doing the best they can in the situation they are in, even when it looks to us like it could be done better. The way to help them is to build community with them like we are doing with our horses.

There is a way to create empathy in others. All we need to do is become the change we want to see and it really is enough. I believe it is the most inviting way to evolve the communities we live in. We could start by using flexible rules to follow for our own behavior and standards to protect others from our abuse of righteous acts and… Read more

When I look back on my experience with the wild horses, what it meant to me then and what it means to me now, I realize I have never lost sight of the importance of horses and the natural environment.

Horses have impacted our lives throughout history, and nature promotes their well-being through the harmony of diversity. I appreciate life and wait to be in harmony with my environment before I act. To know horses as deeply as I know them comes from my understanding of harmony. Harmony is not made, it is found. Harmony in nature is the most trusted element in life and is the basis of the success I share with horses.

Humans honor intelligence. We spend time thinking. Horses honor instinct. They spend time being in the moment.

Working with horses is one way people can learn to be here now and get in touch with their instincts. We normally think of instincts as base but I think of instinct as being plugged into the universal connection… and when you are, you do not make mistakes!

Instinct is just as deep and rich as intelligence. Animals know what time it is. They do… Read more

Hello again. As you know, I study all sorts of animals, not just horses, to see what I can learn from them and in fact have done so all my life. Here is another of my lizard stories…

This story concerns the perception people have of animals. Lot of times people feel that animals really do not have a lot going on upstairs that they work basically from instinct and I want to tell a story that would express how complicated an animal’s mind can be.

One day, I was looking out over some grass and I noticed a lizard. This lizard was acting like he had may be some physical thing wrong with him. He was slashing around in the grass as if he was dying. Flashing his tail and throwing his head around and going round and round in circles and I thought that he was going to die.
