"Anja is an amazing teacher! Astonishing. She’ll tell you the truth without making you feel bad, or wrong, she simply corrects you and tells you what to do! She teaches you to be assertive, fair, and trustworthy to your horse! I love working with her for many reasons and I want her to know I appreciate and respect her, as a teacher and a person!" -Lark Uehlein, Level 2 student
"Bravo to Anja Holst! Anja combines the best of PNH with an understanding of the key elements to prepare a rider for finesse - in my case it is dressage. The groundwork we learn in PNH is so much more insightful than that a beginning dressage rider would learn, and Anja has enabled me to match my PNH learning's with prior impressions of what dressage is all about - and created a new start for me in dressage. She understands the personality (horsenality) of my mare, and knows what I want to accomplish - from this she is able to give me the "next step" to practice on my own until the next lesson. Incorporating learning's from the book by Karen Rohlf (Dressage Naturally) she has clarified my path towards competition in the coming year. If you are considering lessons with Anja - she can help with all aspects of PNH - whatever your style is!"
-Susan Olsen, Level 2 Student "I benefited greatly from my lesson with Anja. She listened to my questions, and then distilled them down to two basic areas. We then spent our one hour lesson focusing on those two areas until I felt confident that I understood what to do. At home I have experienced a great deal of progress and a sense of accomplishment because I was able to translate what I learned in the lesson to my time at home with my horse. Anja has a quietness in her body that I feel is something horses really appreciate and something I strive for. She teaches with a direct and focused style, but when she was showing me something that was very easy for her, she commented to me that it had taken her quite a while to master it. In this way, she made me feel very comfortable with her and thus I felt encouraged to show up and be fully in the learning process, mistakes and all." -Alice, 4-2008
"This is really exciting!!!!!Anja was one of my first instructors at the Parelli Center and she is great. Her demonstration at the Savvy Conference last year was one of the most inspired rides I have seen. She is Amazing!!!!!!!!"
