The Waterhole Rituals
The Waterhole Rituals Liberty TrainingÂŽ is a unique horsemanship method created by Carolyn Resnick to help you connect with horses in a way they instinctively understand. After years of observing wild horses, Carolyn developed this approach to capture the essence of natural communication in the herd. Through the Waterhole Rituals, youâll learn a method of connection that promotes well-being for both horse and human.
Youâll cultivate a willing, optimistic horse who genuinely wants to follow your lead. And, as you journey through each ritual, youâll also experience self-realization, becoming the best version of yourself for your horse. This is about building a relationship based on respect and connectionânot force or dominance.

Or, are you someone who is ready to start an equine-assisted business and looking for the guidance and skills to do it successfully?
If so, are you looking to enhance your horsemanship skills with a method that aligns with the same values you bring to your client sessionsâtrust, respect, and authentic leadership?

This liberty-based method fosters greater willingness and emotional safety in your horses, helping prevent burnout, compliance issues, and dissociationâwhile enriching your clientsâ healing journeys in a safe environment.
Why Liberty and The Waterhole Rituals?
The truth is....
How can we expect a horse to guide a client into the fullness of who theyâre meant to be, if the horse hasnât first had the opportunity to experience that same fullness?
When you create a deeper connection with your horsesâthrough a method that honors their autonomy, emotional safety, and joyâyou unlock a new level of engagement from them. That presence not only deepens the client experience, it positions you as a leader in your fieldâsomeone who works with integrity, wisdom, and tangible results. And yes, that also means being able to confidently charge more for the high-value sessions you offer.
This is for you if:

You want to feel more confident and natural working with horses at libertyâwithout tack, pressure, or force.

What People Are Saying
Rodney Smith
"The Carolyn Resnick Method of horsemanship does not demand, overcome, or dominate a horse. It is compelling because it is so noticeably peaceful. Thus, it unveils a horseâs true nature (and yours as well!), unfettered from inadequate training from the past. As such, it is a quiet approach and reminds you of what is possible between you  and your horse, a partnership that hitherto for might not have been fully available to you. Carolyn will say horses need leaders - and that humans need to lead. Having a masters degree in Organization Development & Leadership, had I known Carolyn earlier, I would have gladly traded all that time and money for that degree to study with her, instead. She gets to the heart of the matter on leadership that typical education can usually only circle around and talk about"
