Bruce Anderson

 Bruce Anderson grew up on the West Indian Islands of Trinidad and Tobago, and it was there on the family cocoa and coffee estate that he began his relationship with horses. He learned to ride on the estate and then represented his country on the National Show Jumping Team. After earning an agricultural degree in England, he moved to the US, working in the Thoroughbred racing industry and the hunter/jumper show circuit. Over a period of 30 years, he developed the Nature’s View training and foundational methods. The core of the work is developing a mindset of connectedness, building mental awareness, and learning to handle pressure in a safe environment.

Bruce serves as a trainer and clinician, working with horse owners and their horses to assist them in building better relationships. He also provides Equine Assisted services with counselors and mental health professionals, serving law enforcement agencies, schools, and youth groups.

Bruce and his partner, Julianne Neal, currently make their home in Camden, South Carolina, where they provide services through their non-profit, The Marley Project. His work is the subject of an award-winning documentary produced by The Art of Storytelling entitled "The Edge: Bruce Anderson - Natural Humanship." The documentary was presented with the award for Best Environmental Film by the EQUUS Film and Arts Fest, as well as the Prix d'Argent from the Deauville GreenAwards in 2017. He and Julianne collaborated to author “In Working with Horses: Building the Mental Tools to Discover the Authentic YOU” and “Congaree: The Little Black Mustang From Arapaho Creek!

Because of the Horse...

I'm not simply existing. Instead, I'm now truly living my authentic life.

DAY 1

★ Harmonic Movement Through Round Pen Pictures Part 1

Harmonic Movement Through Round Pen Pictures Parts 1 & 2 feature a coaching session with Bruce Anderson of Nature’s View. Miranda Lindenlauf brings her two year old warmblood, Brown Sunflower, for a four month Intensive with daily work to immerse in the Natural Humanship™ mindset/system. Sunflower was experiencing a young horse growth stage, complete with exuberant behavior that was pretty excessive for the people near his personal space, so Miranda wanted to get a handle on his behavior for the safety of herself and her family.

Part 1: Bruce is coaching Miranda through the four “pictures” that provide the foundation of this stage of the work: Movement, Direction, Rhythm and Track. As she practices different variations on these four things, she is actually working on mindset for both herself AND her horse. Examples of pictures could include such things as, “Ask him to move around you for one revolution (in the round pen) on the rail at a trot in a clockwise direction.” As she is working on these pictures, the most important thing is really working on the mindset that he is using. If he isn’t completing the pictures, it really isn’t important; in fact, it is even preferable. When things aren’t going to plan, that is actually when the growth is happening. This safe space of the round pen then becomes the training ground for future experiences, whether in the arena, on the trail or anywhere else that she may choose to go.

DAY 2

★ Harmonic Movement Through Round Pen Pictures Part 2

Harmonic Movement Through Round Pen Pictures Parts 1 & 2 feature a coaching session with Bruce Anderson of Nature’s View.  Miranda Lindenlauf brings her two year old warmblood, Brown Sunflower, for a four month Intensive with daily work to immerse in the Natural Humanship™ mindset/system. Sunflower was experiencing a young horse growth stage, complete with exuberant behavior that was pretty excessive for the people near his personal space, so Miranda wanted to get a handle on his behavior for the safety of herself and her family. 

Part 2: Bruce continues the coaching session with Miranda and Brown Sunflower by taking her through inside and outside turns, thereby creating harmonic movement. When she is able to “feel” the sweet spot (the ideal place to move her body to support but not get in the way), her horse is able to complete the “picture.” The key is actually letting the horse and the setting/situation tell her what to do, as well as when and how to do it.
