"I've been meaning to email you to say how much I appreciated your clinic and book. It came to me at the perfect time and I have been playing with the concepts you introduced with my horses ever since and have had some amazing results! I look forward to the follow-up clinic!"     

Sonja Christopher, Sherwood Park, AB

"Barbra-Ann, I couldn't help sending you a picture of my big man. Is he not gorgeous! He is doing so incredibly well, it's insane! I think we make a great team. I can't believe the relationship you have helped me build with him. He is a very different horse than when I first got him a few months ago and the transformation happened under the awed expression of traditional horse people. Thanks!"

"Relationship Riding© and Equine Assisted Self-Improvement (EASI© ) are highly praised for showing natural and gentle ways of association in our world. This photo of us involves my equine friend in her first pregnancy, very content wearing a treeless saddle."
Lise Manzer, Calgary, AB 

 Thank you Barbra-Ann, for finding me my own saddle, and for helping Buck and I make the transition to the freedom of a treeless saddle. Every time I ride in my saddle, I love it even more. Not only was it the breakthrough that finally eliminated many frustrating years of traditional saddle fitting problems, but it has enabled that crucial connection that was missing between me and my horse all these years.
Our relationship continues to improve by leaps and bounds with every ride. With Buck in his early twenties now, knowing that I can continue riding him happily and in comfort in the years to come gives me incredible joy and peace of mind.
From our first meeting, I was impressed with your understanding of what my horse needed to mentally move forward, and your ability to connect with him on his level. I look foward to working with you in the future.

"Observing you work with Angelica felt as though I was watching a musician play in a symphony orchestra, being one with the music, flowing with it. You looked like you were one with her, the energy was flowing beautifully between the two of you and there was a communication that happened without words, just like a conductor communicates with the orchestra. There are no words to describe the connection that takes place at this very deep level, like a meditation, a divine connection. Breathless."

" I can't tell you how grateful I am for your visit last week. I was very touched by the extreme gentleness and respect you showed to Raven. I have to say that he is a different horse. Even the people at the stable could see the difference! He looks very content and relaxed now. I look forward to our next session."    C. Marriot, Airdrie, Alberta 

Thank you Barbra Ann for opening my eyes to how relationships should work. Without honesty, gentleness and openness relationships are non-existant, learning all this from your teaching with Angie, Minnie and June brought me closer to my loved ones and helped me conquer my fear of horses... most of all my confidence and self-worth are back to stay. Bless you my friend! Keep the dynamics going! We love it! : )

 "Relationship Riding© has helped me to realize how mean some people are to their horses. Talking to Barbra-Ann was great as it gave me a chance to release my inner fears, hopes, etc. Barbra-Ann and Angelica are both VERY patient and because of that I feel that I picked up the natural way to ride quicker! I am proud that I am Barbra-Ann's student and I hope that someday I will ride like her. Angelica has also helped me, to see how sensitive our equine friends are, and if you ask properly and nicely, your horse will become your "living angel" so to speak. Relationship Riding© has also taught me to communicate with the horses, let alone people! Now my friends have a puny feel for my personal bubble, I'm quite pleased about that! The thing I like most, though, is that Barbra-Ann and I have both lost a big part of our lives; our horses. She has lost Nikita and I have lost Lightning. Lightning was a bay 15.3hh thoroughbred mare. I still cannot hear her voice, but I know that she's looking after me and leading me closer to what she would've wanted for me, to teach others how to care for, love and speak to their equine friends. Thank you. "
