Giving the Horse a Voice Using Liberty

About Nancy
– Nancy Zintsmaster is co-founder of The Resnick Method of Horsemanship, Certified Instructor and Master Trainer in The Carolyn Resnick Method.

Nancy is a testament to the transformational power of The Resnick Method. Like many, she’d been naturally drawn to horses since childhood and sought their company every chance she got. But it wasn’t until she found Carolyn’s book, Naked Liberty, that she understood the depth of connection she could aspire to have with them.

In Costa Rica, she found herself rescuing 5 horses in dire conditions and choosing the path of Liberty Training in The Resnick Method to gain their trust and respect. What began as an effort to save them, morphed into a journey of personal transformation and it became clear to her that these sentient beings had so much more to teach her than she had to teach them.

Finally, she connected with Carolyn herself and a life-changing partnership began. Carolyn was impressed with her natural gift with horses and moved by her palpable passion for Carolyn’s teachings.

Nancy has since then become the biggest advocate for The Resnick Method, firm in her belief that all horse lovers should have the same opportunities she’s had to connect with horses. As Master Trainer in this method, she’s determined to travel worldwide to spread the word on this powerful and effective way to communicate with horses, to ensure a better treatment of horses, with greater rewards for horse-lovers.

You can find her with her rescue horses in her ranch, Dance with Horses (The Resnick Method’s Costa Rica location), situated at the top of her own mountain, overlooking the lake and volcano of Arenal.

Nancy lives a life of Pura Vida with her husband in beautiful El Castillo, Costa Rica. She has two daughters, three grandchildren, two dogs and a herd of 6 special horses.
