Dear Sylvia, Thank you for your Whispering Way 12-Step Total Training System program. It has made my daughter and me feel like professional horse trainers and has turned our horses into great obedient friends!

Hi Sylvia. I have a 5-year-old Percheron cross PMU mare I adopted this spring. When I got her at the beginning of April, she was frightened, mistrustful, and willing to get hostile if she felt cornered. She wouldn't let anyone within 50 feet of her and had major issues with ropes. She also foaled 3 weeks after I got her, and since I didn't want to have the baby pick up on mommy's issues, I didn't try to do any "training" in particular with this mare while she was nursing. Instead, through lots and lots of undemanding time, I gained her trust to the point she could be caught, groomed, tied, led, etc., safely. Anyway, now her baby is weaned, so I've finally started working her and your Whispering Way 12-Step Total Training System DVD set has been great at helping me keep this "wild" horse relaxed while starting her.

Sylvia has saved my horse with her great techniques. I started to fear having him out and about with other people present. The clarity of Sylvia's instructions are a God-send. Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for all of your excellent advice! I rode my horse this morning after viewing your Whispering Way 12-Step Total Training System DVDs once more. As I saddled him up, he didn't flinch a bit. I got on and yielded his front quarters and hind quarters, just as you said, and he did great with that! I walked him around in the arena. I did one-rein stops and "sit, blow, whoa" two-rein stops along the way. Then I picked him up to a trot. I trotted him around and did a one-rein stop again. I reversed and did the same on the other side. After that, we trotted in and out of the cones. He rode like a dream! He was so controlled, even I was shocked! His headset was great! He loves the John Lyons headstall, bit, and reins that you recommended! And so do I! We rode for about an hour. As for the clipping, he is getting better. We wormed him this morning and he didn't throw his head, back, or balk at the tube. We have been using your desensitizing methods. It took about 10 minutes, and it was all done (lots of head-lowering, licking, and chewing)! My horse has changed so much since I have been studying your program. He just keeps getting better and better. And so am I! It just amazes me how great you are with horses and how much you have helped us. May you be blessed ten-fold for all that you do for others. Much Love,

Hi Sylvia. I have bought your Round Pen Leadership and your Whispering Way 12-Step Total Training System DVDs and have really found them very helpful. My horse (13-year-old thoroughbred) and I are making great progress. He had been classified as mad and not fit to be around humans, but with your techniques he is slowly coming around!
