I LOVE your website!! I wish I would have found it about 10 years ago! My parents have been breeding and racing thoroughbreds since I was 14 (10 years ago). This was just a hobby (very expensive hobby I might add) of my mom's (who was not physically healthy enough to work with the horses for most of those years but just loves them) so I have been in charge of handling them (for worming and such) and foal training. (by the way, applesauce in the wormer tube?!!!? BRILLIANT!!)...I must say I have learned many new things from your website...I found your site a few months ago and have been using your techniques while working with our newest thoroughbred foal (born in April).

Hi Sylvia. Thank you for your wonderful website. It is such a help. I wish I could find someone like you who is helpful and kind in Australia...Thank You!

Hi Sylvia. I want to tell you how impressed I am with your description of Natural Horsemanship. I haven’t seen anyone say it or write it so simply, yet in depth. I have referred your website to many of my [natural horsemanship trainer] husband’s new clients so they can really understand the underlying reasons for a lot of what he is doing with their horse. He is phenomenal doing it and can explain what he is doing, but not as well as you do.

Dear Sylvia: Very many thanks for your Whispering Way™ 12-Step Total Training System DVDs and equipment you sent in March. I write from the U.K. about my 6-year-old Dutch Warmblood horse. My horse is a talented horse who evented last year with my friend but I am not such a confident rider. I brought him home last December and hacked him out most days until he tried a scary spinning, bucking, cantering, rearing thing on a steep tarmac road and I decided not to risk my neck on him until I worked out a way for him to look up to me so that I could be confident in him. Consequently I got your DVDs and have been working with him on the ground...I am delighted with the progress my horse is making - he backs up really easily, no longer snatches his feet from me and sets them down softly relaxed on their toes, drops his head for a headcollar to go on and off, is no longer at all head-shy (used to hate things/hands around his head). As you always say, baby steps (for both of us) and I just need to focus on the positives!...thank you for all your help and support.

Hi Sylvia, All I can say is Thank you so much. I found your website by accident by simply googling "My horse won't trot." Wow, I'm so pleased I accidentally found you. I have tried your methods and I'm now working so much better with my beautiful 5-year-old sweetheart of a horse. I had done loads of groundwork previously and we trust each other so much. I have had a 17 year break from owning horses but I can tell you now, I have never had a better relationship with any of my horses like I do now by using natural horsemanship. How sad is that...Thank you so much for all your wonderful, straightforward, sensible advice. I look forward to ordering your DVD set and learning so much more, for me & my horse to learn together.
