Some
comments and
testimonies: "Hi, I just want to let you know Wiggle pony is gone!!!
Elle has been carrying herself differently since Sunday. Very low key and cuddly. She's not in a hurry, very relaxed, waddling like Willow. She is riding with a very low head set. No high head pulling the reins and bulldozing down the trail. All so unlike Wiggle pony. My son Jonathan remarked tonight that she is broken. HAHAHA!! He claims, she too easy. Easy to be near, perfect on the cross ties. The trail ride tonight,he claims, he could have rode on his head. He's in shock, She gave him no crap, Nothing!! Absolutely amazing!! I am amazed at the change. I should have had you come out months ago. Here, I thought the body work would primarily benefit Willow. Never in a million years would I have guess that it would life changing for Elle. The consensus was Elle was Elle and she a pony and acts likes a snotty pony. I feel bad that the real reason seems to she was in pain and uncomfortable. I'm sure wiggle pony may appear again, but at least we will know what to do about it now. So thank you again" -- ALYSSA, MA Gwen- When I went to the barn today I was frustrated by thoughts of problems I can not solve, and as I cleaned Bruno's stall, tried to decompress. Then i went to the gate and called him. up he trots - it just makes my day. So he has a snack of hay, then he stood while i brushed dirt off him, put fly spray on. clicks for letting me brush his legs, for staying still. cleaned his feet. better cooperation. A new boarder brought her tall Morgan gelding in and put him in the ties in front of us. Both boys started stamping their feet as though the flies just got so much worse, but otherwise behaved. Then they left, and a minute later Linda brought Millie, a paint mare, in. Put her in the same spot. Bruno starts lifting his nose up and sniffing, and of course no more stamping. Ears forward, friendly face. then off to the indoor. set up the cones and the rope toy, hula hoop I put some poles in a L shape. found a tarp, and put that out, folded in half. first we played with the cones, he picks them up and waves them around. he clearly enjoys practicing this new skill. then i asked him to follow me using the invisible lead. we walked around, then past the tarp. i walked on it - he stopped , sniffed, pawed. we went through the l-shape poles. forward, around again, tried backward, no turn. Bruno walked away, went back over to the tarp. played with it a bit, then stood on it. then we walked back and forth over it. tarp conquered. Then we went back to the L-shape poles, and went through forward, then backwards, easily. He also let me push him from behind, instead of going sideways to avoid me, he went forward when I asked. Once done, he decides he wanted to play with the small cones again - went over and now is picking up the rope toy as well as the cones, shaking them around. all so funny - parts of his brain and personality have been unlocked, that I never would have known had it not been for the liberty work, and the clicker. - Anita, MA "I called Gwen because my horses were hurting and none of the chiros or massage people I was calling in were connecting with my horses or seeing what the problem was. ...Gwen zeroed in on my horses issues right away. Her manner with them was gentle, firm and communicative. ...Interestingly, I was releasing my own body issues as my horses released theirs and relaxed. ... [When Gwen was done] my mare was no longer wobbling her neck/head and lifted her hind legs when walking (she dragged her left hind before Gwen worked on her.) My gelding lifted his back and straightened out his pelvis. I have never seen him allow himself to be handled by someone as he allowed Gwen to do. Both had relaxed eyes. What transformations! I'll be calling Gwen to come out again to work with my horses." -- Gillian, CT "Libby is going to get a special treat tomorrow!!! I was able to put her rain sheet on her multiple times. Yay!! Libby. On and off...she just stood and every time I said good girl..she would kiss me. hahahha I just love it. She did fidget a bit at first, but I guess I won her over and she allowed me to put it on her back...then take it off in a clump and I just continued until I put the whole thing on and we went for a walk and I took it off and put it back on. No throwing it on though..nice small unrolls and she is good with it. ;) And I do believe
her new safe spot is the kiss. lol. My sweet Liberty. Ok..just wanted
to share that with you. She doesn't have it on now...I just wanted to
make sure I could get it on if I need to tomorrow in the rain. The air
is getting colder and I don't want her to start shivering. ;) I wish I
could express how excited I am right now. I really can't stop smiling.
Thank you Gwen.
This is just so rewarding and exciting." --Barbara, Rehoboth, MA
"Gotta say Gwen I
have learned a lot from your course, though I might not recall
everything, stuff is starting to sink in and I really feel every horse
owner should take something like this, even if not to trim their own
horses hooves, but to know more about their horses."
--Nicole, RI
"You are very
gifted and talented and I do feel blessed to have found you! ... Your
gifts and talents go much deeper than just trimming hooves. I was able
to pick Mitch's hooves by myself the other day with just a leadrope
around his neck. I was never able to do that before. I
thank God for bringing you to Mitch and helping him. I have been
trying for so long to end his pain and to see him now is incredible."
-- Kendal, MA
"Gwen's PPT101
class was the best money I ever spent learning about how to train my
horse. And, the class was remote, over the internet. I've been to
clinics with my horse and have audited some others, but the information
that I came away from PPT101 with has served as the most solid
foundation, on which every other training method rests. She is creative
and thinks outside of the box in her approach to horse training and is
able to communicate those
practical ideas."
--Sharon, VT
"My life and the
health and vitality of all my animals has been forever transformed for
the better. Thanks Gwen for all you give to all of us. You
are a gifted healer and teacher."
Joan, Student of
Homeopathy 101
"The support I was
given by you made the real difference and allowed me to look at the
horse differently so I could find a New World that I never knew before.
So I Thank You."
--Leslie Pavlich,
Author of "Clicker Training: Colt Starting the Natural Horse"
"Gwenyth has such
warmth towards the horse whilst maintaining safety of horse and
handler. Having her input from years of experience with a variety of
horses is invaluable as her understanding and communication skills,
(with both horses and people) are such a priviledge to be able to
share. I love Gwenyths perspective and explanations." --Paula, UK
"After having you
resolve Little Johns trimming problem when NO ONE ELSE could help me, I
have confidence in you. So, although I could get free advice
somewhere else, it might not be good advice. Most trainers are
fairly violent compared to you. You're smart enough to train
without resorting to whips, spurs or trying to bully the horse which
doesn't work very well anyway. I tried the first thing on your
anti-biting list and already it seems to be working!" --Donald, ME
“Gwen is a
wonderful teacher. She understands horses and has a special connection
with them, and teaches you to understand and connect too. I have
learned so much from her, not only about "training" (which is really
"teaching", there is a difference!), but about horse psychology and
behavior, and also getting insights into my personality and psychology.
After all, we don't just ride our horses, we need to connect with them
in order to become partners with them, and that means understanding
yourself as well as them. I would highly recommend Gwen to help you
connect, bond and partner with your horse(s)!" --Andrea, MA
“I Was Lucky enough
to find Gwenyth and her farm when I was seeking out education on hoof
care and trimming. I enjoyed the workshop , her farm, feel I learned a
great deal about the equine hoof. I would recommend taken any of the
courses Gwen offers. you can't go wrong!" --Erin , MA
"Thank you Gwen,
for your inspiring articles and ideas. Together with Mark Rashid, you
are one of the greatest horsepersons of recent times."
"I was willing to
think outside the box only after traditional methods had failed him.
Now I wish I had of tried it sooner, I could have shortened the time he
was in pain but I didn't know any better. Hindsight truly is 20/20."
" ... I actually
find myself getting quite emotional over this pony since she has turned
into the most amazing treasure. She also meets my daughter at the
gate (all 60 lbs of her), leads loose line at any speed Rachel chooses,
stands wonderfully for grooming and tacking, even dropping her head
into the bridle and is very willing under saddle with no balking,
bolting, bucking, or even a crop needed. Once we figured out
where her issues were, she has responded with every part of her
being. (And she was auction bound when we bought
her.) Thanks for helping with her!"
"I would entrust
the care and well-being of any horse, sound or lame, healthy or sick,
troubled or at peace, to Gwen Santagate. I give her my highest
recommendation because she is one of the most honest, wisest, and
most circumspect people I have ever met. She goes the extra mile (or
ten) for the horse's sake and makes every animal's total well-being her
top priority. My horse recommends her, too -four hooves up! -
because, thanks to her, and her alone, he is alive and well." --
Vanessa, NH
"Gwen, I was expecting you to fish for me but, instead,
you taught me how to fish. Thank you." If you would like to explore the PENZANCE way of working and playing with horses please contact Gwen here: caballus@charter.net

Where it all begins ... naturally! |
The wolf (black) brings learning with him; he tells us that
sometimes we must cross barriers in our lives; take risks and
to even sometimes go beyond what is considered "normal" behavior in
order that we may learn and grow. These barriers may be difficult and
painful to cross at times but knowledge is gained through experience;
and strength is gained through battles.
