Mary Ann Simonds

Author and educator Mary Ann Simonds has an international practice helping horse professionals better understand, train and care for their equine companions. Her research on wild horse ecology, identifying various equid behaviors and cultures set the foundation for challenging many of the traditional horse training paradigms. Her focus and passion for reducing stress in horses triggered her developing a line of stress management products for Toklat Originals in the 1990s including the first magnetic hoof boot, and a researched line of flower essences and aromatherapy products. She ran the Whole Horse and Equestrian Science Institute for over 25 years and has written hundreds of articles as well as four books.  After selling her farm in the Pacific NW she moved full time to Wellington, Florida.
