Nancy Zintsmaster
Co-Founder, Certified Instructor, and Master Trainer in The Carolyn Resnick Method Liberty Horsemanship.

Nancy Zintsmaster embodies the transformational power of The Carolyn Resnick Method. A lifelong horse enthusiast, her love for these magnificent animals began in childhood, but it wasn’t until she discovered Carolyn Resnick’s book, Naked Liberty, that she realized the profound connection possible between humans and horses.

Her journey took a pivotal turn in Costa Rica, where she rescued seven horses in dire conditions. Committed to earning their trust and respect, she embraced Carolyn’s liberty training approach. What started as a rescue mission evolved into a deeply personal transformation, revealing that these sentient beings had as much to teach her as she had to teach them.

Nancy’s path eventually led her to Carolyn Resnick herself, forging a life-changing partnership. Carolyn recognized Nancy’s natural gift with horses and her passion for The Resnick Method. This collaboration solidified Nancy’s role as one of its most dedicated advocates.

Today, as a Master Trainer, Nancy is committed to sharing The Resnick Method with horse lovers worldwide. She teaches this compassionate and effective communication style to promote better relationships between humans and horses, ensuring both receive mutual rewards.

Nancy resides at her ranch, Dance with Horses—The Resnick Method’s Costa Rica location—perched atop a mountain with breathtaking views of Lake Arenal and the Arenal Volcano. There, she continues her mission to inspire others through her work with horses.
