The Waterhole Rituals Academy
WHEN TRAINING ISN’T CREATING CONNECTION
You may have learned how to ask for better behavior—but not how to have a conversation your horse naturally understands.
You can do everything you’ve been taught and still feel that your horse is distant, resistant, anxious, distracted, or difficult to reach. The missing piece may not be another exercise. It may be learning how your horse already communicates.
Learn to speak the language of horses
The Waterhole Rituals Liberty Training® 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, you'll discover a way of being with horses that creates trust, deepens connection, and supports the well being of both horse and human.

★★★★★
“I fell in love with the Waterhole Rituals. I did all the rituals with my horse, Joe, but got a little stuck. I enrolled in the Liberty Training Mentorship, and things are coming along well. I am positive that this is the best possible thing I could have done with my horse. Thank you, Nan and Carolyn for this amazing method!”

“Carolyn and Nancy’s ability to provide immediate feedback in the moment of my groundwork sessions and their keen assessment of how to improve my connection gave me direction in the areas I needed to improve on. I learned practical problem-solving tools, but more importantly, it deepened my intuition and sharpened my level of self-awareness when engaging with a horse”

“I have a 2-yr old Andalusian gelding. I’ve been using the Resnick Method for the past three months and I cannot say enough positive words to describe my experience. My horse has amazed me in what we have accomplished. This has been such a fun experience and I have really enjoyed the community. All I can say is thank you Nan and Carolyn!”
