Marlene with one of the rescue horses
"We have had many volunteers at our ranch and truly we have not had anyone that has as much talent and love for training horses. She has so much talent that I believe that even she can't see it. She spent endless hours just building a solid foundation of trust with each and every horse. I would never hesitate to send any horse to her for any level of training." M. Dodge, President of Valley View Ranch Equine Rescue, U.S.A
Gail with a project horse
"When I first met Anna she was wearing cowboy boots lined with duct tape, jeans with weathered knees, hair tossed up in a bun, a beautiful smile, and a darling English accent. My first thought was 'now this is a dedicated horsewoman.' My second thought was 'I wanted to be just like her.' I learned so much from her and discovered her dedication, passion, talent, and knowledge to be addicting. Anna and I became fast friends, and she invited me to come to the horse rescue that she was managing, teaching me how to interact with them, listen to their silent stories, and feed/care for them and their illnesses. Anna is a very gifted, passionate, and compassionate person. She is a ball of energy with experience and knowledge to boot. She understands and demonstrates the right balance of training and for latent learning. She always has the horse's best interest in mind, has a gentle hand and heart, and enjoys sharing what she knows with others. She's a true friend and a wonderful person. That is why, 'I want to be just like her.'" G. Kordowski, U.S.A.

Eva learning to make her horse more responsive

Rachel has now built a strong relationship with her horse
" My lovely mare took great exception to my plan to clip her and was prepared to fight with all four hooves to make her point. For me force was not an option and so I turned to Anna., Monty Roberts Instructor. Anna showed tremendous patience and calm expertise as she helped my mare to realise that clippers were not an monster and actually started to enjoy the sensation on her skin. Anna not only taught my mare but she taught me as well. The techniques she used can be applied to other situations and horses. With Anna's support I have been able to create a wonderful bond with these awesome creatures." R. Wood, U.K
Once wild and scared of humans, Remy now loves attention from people
"My rescued feral young pony was terrified, untouchable and desperately needing footcare. Anna came immediately, walked quietly into the stable and within minutes the pony was responding to her. The pony quickly learnt that she was safe and accepted a headcollar. This isn't quite magic, although that is how it seemed. Anna works with a definite but very subtle method at which she is extremely skilled but she also taught me how to carry on. The pony has made great progress." K, Henderson, UK
