Whispering the Unspoken Language of Souls

In the vast landscape of human-animal connection, there are rare souls who serve as bridges between these worlds. Anna Twinney embodies this sacred role, her journey shaped by the diverse tapestry of her experiences from the military communities in Germany to a police beat on the streets of Britain, and ultimately to the whispered wisdom of horses across the globe as one of the world's most sought-after horse whisperers, recognized by both British Royalty and the US Government for her revolutionary approach to natural horsemanship, animal communication, and energy healing.

American Wild Horse Advocate

For over 30 years, Anna has been involved in horse rescue and rehabilitation, specifically the protection of the American Wild Horse. Her assistance has been sought by countless organizations, including some of the largest and most recognized rescues in the USA. She has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for horses in need and over one hundred organizations that share her passion. She has brought her highly successful, gentle approach to more than ten thousand individuals and horses worldwide. She has conducted over a thousand clinics and classes globally and was the first female clinician to take natural horsemanship to China and Mongolia. And through it all there are always the wild horses so close to her soul.

Anna has gentled and trained over 2,000 wild horses, including those in the Premarin (PMU) industry, nurse mares and foals, feral and wild mustangs, feedlot foals, and tribal horses - exposing these often-hidden industries. Some of the most well-known mustangs have come under Anna’s tutelage, including the famous trio Monty Robert’s Shy Boy, Spirit (the Mustang from the Cimmaron), and Excalibur, her own Spanish Mustang heart horse who inspired her to explore the depths of animal communication.

The Beginning

Born in England and raised amid the vibrant military communities of Germany, Anna's early life was a canvas painted with international experiences and deep-rooted service. Her path took a profound turn when she married a former Special Forces medic who served in Desert Storm, uniting two souls committed to healing and protection.

Together, they made history as the first married couple to join the British Police Force, breaking barriers and redefining partnership. It’s here where Anna mastered humanity's most precious gift, the art of true listening.

In the complex landscape of human interaction, she learned to understand not just words but the silent language that lives between utterances, the whispers that exist beneath the surface of communication. This foundation would prove invaluable in her destined path with horses.

The Whisper Seeker's Journey

In 1997, everything changed for Anna. The horses called her home — not with words, but with a resonance that transcended human language. This spiritual summons led to a blind leap of faith.

From the structured world of British law enforcement to the intuitive realm of horse whispering, Anna's journey transformed when she arrived at Flag Is Up Farms. There, she found not just mentorship but a profound connection that would shape her understanding of both horses and humanity. Crawford Hall, Monty Roberts' Farm Manager and a quadriplegic following a horse accident, recognized something special in Anna. Their relationship surpassed typical mentorship - she became his "legs," and he taught through her, sharing his unmatched perception and knowledge.

Together, they entertained corporations, well-known actors, and equine enthusiasts through Monty Roberts' famous Join-up demonstrations. Their bond was so deep that years later, Crawford would “walk” her down the aisle at her wedding.

Three Guides to Light Her Way

As Anna's path unfolded, the universe sent her three extraordinary guides. It was divine timing that brought her together with Vin, an off-Broadway actor and computer consultant whose own spiritual journey would perfectly complement hers. More than just a husband, Vin would become a fellow seeker, transforming alongside her into a healer, ranch manager, business coach, entrepreneur, and spiritual guide. Together, they would create not just a life but a mission - their combined gifts amplified the work in ways neither could have achieved alone.

Then there was Merlin - her first American anchor in canine form. With his adventurous spirit, protective nature, and boundless joy for life, this remarkable Australian Shepherd illuminated the path forward, showing Anna how love could bridge any gap, heal any wound, and light any darkness.

But it was Excalibur, her Spanish Mustang soulmate, who would help birth something revolutionary in horsemanship. This magnificent being knew Anna was capable of more - much more. Through their partnership, he guided her to trust her intuition more deeply, to embrace telepathic communication, and to discover the power of the sacred pause. In those moments of deep connection with Excalibur, intuitive horsemanship was born - a blend of practical wisdom and spiritual understanding that would transform the field forever.

"Show me their whisper, so I may become their voice and speak their truth."

Anna Twinney Signature

The Tri-Factor of Truth

Anna's revolutionary approach unites three essential elements in what she calls the Tri-Factor of Truth:

  • Body Language Nuances: The silent symphony of movement, where every ear flick, nostril quiver, and muscle twitch tells a story
  • Telepathic Connection: The bridge between species, where thoughts flow freely and understanding transcends the physical
  • Energetic Resonance: The dance of frequencies, where intention meets intuition and true FEEL emerges

Like an alchemist of the soul, she translates the unspoken language of horses into a profound healing art. Body language becomes a whispered poetry of movement. Energy transforms into the liquid gold of understanding. Intention weaves invisible threads of transformation.

A Legacy of Transformation

Anna has been a lighthouse for countless individuals and horses alike. Her journey includes successfully starting hundreds of horses under saddle, rehabilitating broken-down horses, and training high-value thoroughbreds. Yet it was her unwavering drive to fight for the underdog that led to one of her most revolutionary contributions to the equine industry.

Rather than accepting the common practice of branding horses as castaways, Anna pioneered a groundbreaking collaboration between Flag is Up Farm and horse rescues and sanctuaries. Her innovative approach provided reciprocal benefits: complementary horse training while students learned natural horsemanship concepts. This philosophy, which she continues today, ensured all horses were given a voice and a second chance at life, inspiring the industry to recognize the value in those less fortunate.

When this chapter of her journey concluded, Anna found renewal among the Mustangs, spending several years replenishing her soul while caring for the wild horses at Return to Freedom wild horse sanctuary and other locations. With a quieted mind, she heard and heeded the call of the horse, recognizing that her mission was to meet horses and their humans in their own habitats. This revelation led to the creation of "Reach Out to Horses," designed to expand her work and introduce the next generation of horse whisperer worldwide.

The Work Expands

Throughout her extensive work with horses, Anna discovered that their secret and silent language revealed far more than mere body language. Her deep interest in energy healing uncovered successive layers of equine communication, particularly their ability to read and receive thoughts and intentions. She recognized that next-generation horsemanship required congruency, as horses revealed themselves as powerful healers, addressing misalignments in humans through body, mind, and spirit. This revolutionary understanding, though met with initial resistance, required an ambassador – a role Anna was destined to fulfill.

As Anna deepened her connection with her innate gifts, she mastered the art of animal communication, sharing her insights with faithful followers. Known for her "down-to-earth" realistic approach, even the most open-minded skeptics found themselves believing in the telepathic language of love. Wearing multiple hats as a trusted linguist, behaviorist, medical intuitive, healer, mediator, life and business coach, minister, and medium, she became the chosen communicator for celebrity horsemen and women. Today she has conducted nearly 10,000 consultations and created over 250 hours of educational materials, and growing.

Never straying from her vision, Anna has created empowerment and leadership programs for dream, life, business coaches, and equine-facilitated learning and coaching organizations. Partnering with her intuitive, tech-savvy husband, they've developed experiential programs for extra-sensitive individuals and entrepreneurs to reignite their intuition, conducting transformative retreats throughout the United States for over a decade.

Healing Philosophy

Anna's philosophy emerges from a profound understanding that healing is not about fixing but about creating space for transformation. She believes in the inherent wisdom of both horses and humans, recognizing that trauma is not a weakness. It is an opportunity for profound growth and restoration. Her approach honors the individual journey of each being, understanding that true healing occurs when we move from a place of force to a space of genuine connection. As Anna wisely observes, "In a world of constant noise and immediate gratification, the pause is a radical act of love. It says, 'I see you. I hear you. I respect you.'"
