Introductory to the Waterhole Ritual Clinic
CLINICIAN LINDA J SALINAS
Return to Freedom’s mission is to preserve the freedom, diversity, and habitat of America’s wild horses and burros through sanctuary, education, advocacy and conservation, while enriching the human spirit through direct experience with the natural world.
For eighteen years, RTF has been dedicated to modeling and advocating viable humane solutions to protect wild horses and burros on the range as an alternative to the costly and traumatic capture and warehousing of wild horses. RTF operates a sanctuary providing a refuge for 350 wild horses and 44 burros with a focus to maintain natural family bands and bonded social groups.

Clinician: Linda Salinas is both a skilled clinician and a dynamic instructor who seeks to empower her students while ensuring the integrity of the horse. Linda is a gifted teacher who feels that as we open our hearts and minds, horses in their infinite wisdom can assist us in our journey toward self-realization. Linda is a certified instructor in the Carolyn Resnick Method of natural horsemanship. She travels worldwide to share The Waterhole Rituals which were developed through Resnick's observation of horses in the wild. The rituals provide a means by which we can bond and communicate with horses without the use of tack, force, or restraint in a free environment.
