Nancy Zintsmaster – The Resnick Method Liberty Horsemanship

In this episode of All My Children Wear Fur Coats, we had the privilege of speaking to Nancy Zintsmaster, the Co-Founder and Master Trainer of The Resnick Method Liberty Horsemanship. 

Carolyn Resnick, the founder, and her business partner, Nancy, testify to the transformational power of the Resnick Method. Like many, Nancy had been drawn to horses since childhood and sought their company every chance she got. But it wasn’t until she found Carolyn’s book called Naked Liberty that she understood the depth of connection.

The academy is meant to empower people who need help connecting to their horse’s heart and help people understand how to use horses as our guides for self-realization to address the whole being, mind, body, and spirit. 

The mission of The Resnick Method Liberty Horsemanship is to help grow the new world consciousness ready to receive this next step in valuing horses as teachers and healers, making the horse a true partner in our journey of self-healing, personal growth, and transformation.

“When you enter a horse’s space with this method, the horse knows that you speak his language. So the results are more profound…

When we don’t understand the instincts of the horse, then the horse doesn’t really know that he can trust us.” – Nancy

The story of Nancy and The Resnick Method Liberty Horsemanship is fabulous – hearing about this kind of transformational experience changes lives forever.

To learn a little bit more, they have a Facebook group called Liberty Resnick Method Liberty Training. They also have lots of helpful information and blogs on their website at www.carolynresnick.com.
