Liberty Horsemanship For Equine Assisted Professionals 

 

Top Tier Horsemanship For Your EAP Practice

 

Introducing Liberty Horsemanship for Equine-Assisted Professionals—a unique program co-
created by Nan Zintsmaster of the Carolyn Resnick Liberty Horsemanship Method and Equine-
Assisted Transformational Coach, Katherine Finley, specifically designed to help equine-assisted
professionals enhance their horsemanship skills using Liberty Horsemanship. Tailored
specifically for those working in equine-assisted therapy, equine-assisted learning, and equine-
assisted coaching modalities, this program provides a horsemanship approach that aligns
seamlessly with the goals of EAP work. The Liberty Method emphasizes building a deep,
connected relationship with the horse through five heartfelt strings of connection: bond, trust,
respect, willingness, and focus. This unique approach not only respects the horse's autonomy,
allowing them to have full choice, but also creates a foundation for mutual respect and
understanding between horse and human.


What makes this method such a great fit for EAPs is that learning to cultivate these qualities
with a horse translates directly into human relationships. As EAPs develop these skills with the
horse, they can teach their clients to bring this same level of harmony, connection, and
communication into their own lives, fostering stronger, more empathetic human relationships.
This program is perfect for professionals with little horsemanship experience or those whose
current horsemanship skills may not align with their professional work. Through this program,
you will learn the Resnick Liberty Method and discover how to seamlessly integrate it into your
client sessions, enriching both your work with horses and the impact you have on the human
lives you serve.
