Warm Springs horses
feature at foal workshop
A nna Twinney is a re-
nowned authority on
equine behavior.
She is a highly re-
spected teacher and au-
thor, known for fostering
connection through com-
passion and communica-
tion between people and
their animals.
Next month Ms.
Twinney will host a foal
workshop—the annual
Reach Out to Horses
Foal Gentling Work-
shop—in Central Or-
egon.
And for the fourth
year, for her workshop
she is using horses from
the Warm Springs Reser-
vation.
The Confederated
Tribes-Branch of Natu-
ral Resources a few
years ago conducted a
multi-year horse re-
moval program on the
reservation.
The program resulted
in the removal of hun-
dreds of horse from the
reservation, the purpose
being to protect and re-
claim fish and wildlife
habitat.
Results of the pro-
gram have demontsrated
its success, with im-
proved fish, wildlife and
native plant habitats,
Natural Resources has
reported.
The War m Springs
Horse Coalition, based in
Madras, grew out of the
tribal horse removal pro-
gram.
The goal of the coali-
tion is to find homes for
horses, especially those
removed from the reser-
vation.
The Horse Coalition is
providing the horses for
Ms. Twinney’s Central
Oregon clinic, August 17-
23 in Bend.
Tribal Councilman
Councilman Jay
Suppah and Anson
Begay, of the
Branch of Natural
Resources, rounded
up horses a couple
of weeks ago for the
event.

What
sets
Ms.
Twinney’s workshop apart
from other foal training
clinics is the horses: She
and her students work
each year with foals from
wild herds.
Anna and her students
will work to introduce a
group of foals to basic vet
care concepts, haltering,
leading, grooming, and
plenty of petting and at-
tention.
The purpose is to
ready the foals for adop-
tion, and to create a foun-
dation of trust that will
help them have success-
ful and fulfilled lives with
their human companions.
A portion of the pro-
ceeds from the workshop
will aid the Warm Springs
Horse Network in their
care of foals and other
horses from reservation
lands.
This year’s event will
be at the Renegade
Equine Ranch in Bend,
owned by Reach Out to
Horses certified instruc-
tor Katie Dixon.
