The Carolyn Resnick Method
The Waterhole Rituals

Historically, horses have been the long time and often long suffering servants of humans and occasionally the comrades as well.  In our more recent history, horses have become the means for our personal pleasure through riding and our competitive, athletic achievement as well as for financial gain.  It important for me to add that amidst this, horses have found people for whom they are beloved friends. And yet overall, through the centuries, the true nature of the horse hasn't been recognized. Horses are bought and sold, often never finding permanent homes.  Horses are socially and family dependent but are regularly separated from family and companions.  They are over bred, used, misused and when their usefulness is over are exchanged for another horse or set aside, too frequently for slaughter.
Very recently though, our human consciousness appears to be expanding and we are seeing horses from a new perspective - a perspective closer to the truth of horse nature.  The horse is beginning to be seen as a sentient and intelligent being, worthy of respect. The power, grace and majesty of the horse is now touching human hearts.   In the wild, horses depend on their community which is built upon authentic relationship, communication and cooperation. Domesticated horses are no different.
Humans have domesticated horses and as their caregivers it is our responsibility to give them a life as close to what they would have in their natural setting as we are able. To do this, we must be educated. We must understand and respect their true nature.
On my own path learning about the horse/human relationship, I am deeply grateful for the unparallelled knowledge and experience of Carolyn Resnick.  I am proud to say that I am her student. I am also grateful that I had the opportunity to study with her before I began my training in EFLC.  It was as a student of her unique method of developing authentic relationships with horses, called The Waterhole Rituals,  that I began my education about the true nature of horses and what they teach -  living in the present, leadership, creative thinking, welcoming joy, acceptance and authentic relationship. It is clear to me that I would not have integrated everything offered to me through the EFLC training with Kathy Pike, if I hadn't studied first with Carolyn Resnick. 
Carolyn's method is the result of observing and interacting with a wild herd of horses, learning their rituals and behaviors starting at birth. In fact, she ended up being welcomed by each horse as herd member. Carolyn has a rare history with horses from the the time she was born. Her story is amazing, profound and wonderful.  She has put her story in a book, Naked Liberty. Carolyn offers an online course in her method, The Waterhole Rituals.
