Anna Twinney's Foal Starting and Gentling Clinic - Report and Video Links...
Anna created a rare opportunity for her students to gentle 5-month old PMU foals, destined for slaughter in Canada Nearly 6,000 foals leave Canada each year as a bi-product of the hormone replacement therapy drug, Premarin. As their mother's urine is collected on the pee-line, the foal's destiny is even less bright, unless saved. Equine Angels & Ray of Light Farms, Conneticut, celebrate the arrival of 10 weanlings, while Anna Twinney of Reach Out to Horses arranges the FIRST foal gentling clinic of this kind. Follow the foal's first week in training.
Given another chance by being gentled through natural horsemanship and Reach Out to Horses methods these foals find value in their humans. Follow the foals during their 2nd & 3rd day experience. From feral foals to foals in training, Anna shares her Reach Out to Horses methods with students from around the Globe as they gentle untouched foals rescued from the Canadian Slaughter houses. Embarking on their week's training, you can witness their progress. See how they progress and are able to willingly approach, accept touch, halters, blankets, having their feet cleaned & being lead around obstacle courses.
Now these foals are on their way to a brighter future and you can witness their graduation day. With tears in their eyes the students present "their" foals for you to share in the magical moments of their transformation. (Anna Twinney will be bringing out a new Foals in Training DVD release New Year 2011 - visit www.reachouttohorses.com ).
