I have just seen the video circulating on feeding. This horrid woman is whipping the horse - as a relaxation technique- she then ends off with an example of a horse who has already gone through the torture proses to realize that the whip is the only answer if you take more than one bite (and please remember that their stomachs are small and designed for continuous grazing rather than digesting large, infrequent meals. this horse's whole body tenses up and his ears pull back when she instructs him to leave the food. Disgusting!! I would not allow my horse near her!!!

I have bought a full OPP (optimal performance program) with a trainer – in person, that did the courses with Anna, but in my country. I must say it really helped my horse who’s temperament is very high and is easily stressed. There was no abuse during the trainings EVER (i would not hurt a fly, i absolutely love when my horse has an opinion and free will), I love the trainer. The things that i heard or read here are not what i experienced, but i must say that I always take the best from every technique and adjust it so it will be best for me and my horse. I am absolutely disgusted from what I have read there because it’s not what I have imagined to be behind the scenes of a technique that (as I was told and Im practising this way) is very subtle, clear, chooses the horse first and is always trying to be an aid to assist for something better. I do not consider this technique as a main thing I do with my horse, but I do use it when I consider it could be useful in a situation. My horse is not terrified and definitely not in a learned helplessness. But on the other hand, I as a person am very sceptical with horse trainers in general because I know nothing is perfect and I want for my horse only the best (hes not a sport horse, hes a family member with mistrust against humans). So that might be why I was one of the lucky ones. I am very sorry for everyone that had such a bad experience with One Horse Life, my mouth is on the floor from these reviews. And I am very glad, that many of you have come forward with this information. Lastly I’d like to say that not everyone practicing her techniques is a bad person or even doing it the same way. There are many of us (like me), that choose to take the good advices and leave the bullshit behind. Thankfully, even tho i did not agree with everything during the training (biomechanicly for the horse meaning) i was very lucky.

I was shocked reading all the reviews. It’s unbelievable how much I recognize in other people’s experiences. A few years ago, I did the PRO training with Anna and Pawel. I was dedicated, flew out to meet them twice, trained horses for the PRO course, and even organized a clinic for them in the Netherlands. Everything was arranged down to the last detail, but they treated the paying participants with a shocking lack of respect. On a later visit, they left me waiting at the hotel while they went to the beach. When I tried to discuss new financial agreements, the entire atmosphere changed. Suddenly my work was criticized, I was told to write a full report within a day, and when I didn’t do that, they humiliated me on social media. This experience seriously damaged my confidence as a trainer. For a long time, I thought it was just me. Until I read these reviews. In a way, I’m relieved I’m not alone, but it’s deeply concerning to see how these people operate. I truly hope more and more people find the courage to share their stories too because these awful people need to be stopped.

I came in contact with a woman who followed the OHL training.It did not help the horses, their stress get worse.The horses get not any exercise they are kept in the stables all the time.The woman talks shit that makes no sense at all.And now she is starting business in Germany Krefeld. It is very sad that these scams still take place. The horses are the victims of this. Regards J ( NL)

I was very silly to buy into a paid week with Anna and her boyfriend. The trip from Panama to Poland was very long. Upon my arrival, I was taken to a supermarket, I had no idea that the snacks I have bought, were going to be the only food available for me during my stay. I was shown a very dirty little apartment, and again, I didn't know that I was only allowed to move around when supervised. I was introduced to the horses, which were trick trained to respond only to the visual cues, that Anna decided were proper. The problem was that I am an empath, and my questions were clearly heard by the horse anyway. When Anna realized that I could influence the horse, she stopped me, and refused to "teach" , or even allow me to interact with any of the other horses. I asked if I could watch her train, but I was refused, I suspected animal abuse, and literally spied on her "training". You haven't seen animal abuse yet, I hadn't either. I was shocked, I tried to run away. I was chased, forced to surrender thousands of euros, before I was set free. This has happened almost 20 years ago. I write now, because Anna avoided and blocked all of her ex-clients at the time. Anna is a brutal liar, and should be prosecuted for what she did to me, to other people, and to the horses.

Eline I just want to respond to your post, you have summed it up in a nutshell and do contact the lawyer and see if anything can be done as to many people hurt and too many people afraid of saying any type taking action as they seem to have immense power in people’s emotions and feelings

I was not aware of these reviews until my sister, upset at hearing about the difficulties I was having with OHL, looked online to see if anyone had reviewed the business. She also found sad exchanges on Reddit. Google OHL & Reddit to find. As for the reviewers with their blissed-out experiences, I am envious. It is what I too had sincerely hoped to experience. It is remarkable & sad that so many people have been hurt & left empty handed after trusting Anna, her methods & energy work. I don’t think any of us ever dreamed we would be writing such reviews. Good Anna is a talented horsewoman, you can work with her online or in person at the farm, Stal Witte, in Schijndel, Netherlands. Even if her methods do not consistently work in practical application the theories and techniques are compelling. Review I worked with One Horse Life for 6 months. My experience started with what seemed like a lot of love, guidance & support. Then sadly, it changed. Unfortunately, my main experience with One Horse Life is of over promising and under delivering. This includes a lack of reliable and consistent support & guidance as well as the promises & limitations of the method itself. The method, as wonderful as it may seem & as amazing as it is made to look on social media, does not work as reliably as OHL would like you to believe. They claim that their methods create “permanent” changes in your horse. This is simply not true. I had wonderful moments while practicing the method but experienced many situations in which the method failed or the change that was supposed to be permanent was not. The method is based on Anna and Pawel’s personal ideas of spirituality & “reality”. They assume guru status & teach with a guru mentality. The OHL Pros are set up to give seminars to hook you into a MLM scheme where the more you pay & sign up for the more access you will have to deeper “inner circle” knowledge. They talk a lot about physics, some of which aptly applies to the biomechanics of the horse, but ultimately the method is a type of new-age mysticism based on who you are as a person. It is based on “purity” & your ability to control yourself in your environment to an unhealthy degree. You are explicitly not allowed to change or adapt the methods or techniques, even if they are not working for you. Anna will tell you herself that her technique is not intuitive. This is a huge problem. If you can’t listen to your own intuition, then you must constantly defer to her. Emotionally this is dangerous as ultimately it leads you farther and farther from yourself and your truth and lived experience. You are led to a truth that you will in essence attempt to make your own in order to perform the methods and get results. Anna will tell you to trust her and that she will be with you every step of the way, but that was not my experience. Things did not come together, the methods did not work & because they were not working created an unhealthy dependency on Anna’s constant support & guidance. When my difficulties with the method did not resolve Anna & Pawel began outright emotionally manipulating. I could no longer justify continuing. When they couldn’t tell me how to progress, they just made me the problem. I finally realized I could not pay, practice, or “relax” enough to get the results their methods promised. I simply could not experience "reality" as they would have it. In addition, the disorganization & sloppy professionalism I experienced working with Anna was inexcusable & massively irresponsible. OHL programs are VERY expensive & yet for the thousands of euros you pay, corners are cut, emails ignored, questions left unanswered, promises left unfulfilled & calls are blown off or rescheduled at whim. She put both myself and my horse in dangerous situations all while promising that it would all come together, just trust her & the methods. Sadly, when I needed her help the most was exactly when she would stop responding to my messages for days and use flimsy excuses for her absence. So, buyers beware. I wasted a massive amount of money & time with OHL. Yes, I learned some valuable things, but the price, emotionally, spiritually and financially was very high. I would advise not getting involved at all, but if you do, do not enter into any informal agreements, get it all in writing, or sign a contract. Otherwise, it is highly likely that you will not get what you think you are paying for. After reading the other reviews I am considering contacting the Dutch lawyer, Stephan Wensing at European Horse Lawyers, to look into OHL. Please know that if your welfare is compromised at the expense of OHL ambitions, they will make it clear that it is your problem, not theirs. Take care of yourselves, trust yourselves, seek support from outside sources, and if something feels wrong, or murky or off—it is.

I’ve met Anna and Paweł Marciniak back in 2022 on a RTRT Bootcamp in Spain. Going there I’ve had no idea what’s even RTRT is about but I knew the techniques from IG and some teachers of it back in my country. I loved how it looked but I was still kinda suspicious about what kind of people can even make things like that, make horses move and look like that without it being and actual scam. So there was my decision to go and see for myself. The BootCamp lasted for 10 days and there was an option to eat the Energy Aligned food which I agreed for although it sounded like a total spiritual mystery for me. I’ve tried many diets in my life, I would say almost all of them but never felt really good neither after eating the food or about my body and its condition. This food changed everything. The first time ever I didn’t felt have and stuck in my own body like I was just a passenger feeding a mass to survive next days activities. I’ve light, I’ve had the best sleep ever and experienced connection with horses on a total different level. Yet the food was just one of the pieces of that puzzle that made stacy a big impact on my life. After this mental fog I’ve had over my brain for years was gone I could learn and notice how fantastic the work with horses of Anna and Paweł is. Getting intense but super relaxing training everyday, transforming the horses on our eyes. Seeing horses move so effortlessly that every other horse I have seen later was simply lame to me. Since I was little in love horses and wanted to see them shine, the reality of competitive background later as I was growing up was unfortunately different from what I imagined as a kid. Seeing Anna with horses brought back my childhood memories and hopes of equestrianism looking like I’ve dreamt of. This experience led me to getting the 3 months Energy Healing from Anna and Paweł. During this time my life changed absolutely. After years of struggling with my body image, own mental health, abusing self harm in many contexts, abusing alcohol and drugs for +5 years I’ve become absolutely free from any addictions in less than 6 months from the Energy Healing started. This absolutely changed the path of my life and made me understand myself, the way I would never guess I could. I will be forever grateful for the absolutely enormous impact it made on my life. Thank you Anna and Paweł for your work you put into this world and every little thing you both do to make this world a better, more relaxed ace for not only horses but also people. I wish you all the success, all the Noble prizes you absolutely deserve and can’t wait to see you grow. I hope everyone will have the change to get to know your techniques and apply them into their horsey and non horsey lives.
