Progressive Horse Training Courses
with Talent of the Horse


Covering foundation groundwork and horsemanship, these courses are with my horses, at my premisses near Nantwich and all equipment is provided. Suitable for every horse person and handler, these are all practical courses. Get good at the basics, then it becomes natural instinct with the horse.

Our methods improve partnerships, performance and reliability using clear communication to release deep tension for horse and owner. Mastering the foundation programme gives us leadership, respect and trust.

Our programme is broken down into 3 levels, with each level consisting of a number of 3-hour stages. Each stage is a 3-hour course that includes classroom based theory and a practical session in our all weather, outdoor arena using my own horses. My horses are fully trained and give our clients a chance to understand what we mean by softness and lightness as well as the opportunity to practice new techniques in a safe, controlled environment.

Level 1: The Foundation Principal

Level 1 is an introduction to the principles of horse training and handling; how the horse learns, thinks and communicates.

The foundation is the basis of my training programme and gives handlers the tools to communicate effectively & control the horse establishing leadership, respect and trust.

After completing level 1 you will understand:

* Why groundwork is important and how this can benefit horse and handler
* The basics in herd behaviour & communication
* How to read and respond to the horses body language accordingly from the ground
* The components of the foundation programme

Level 1: Course information

Level 1 comprises 3x 3-hour courses (stages 1, 2 & 3) at my yard, near Nantwich.
The cost for level 1 is £300. Payment in full is due at point of booking and is non-refundable. In the unlikely event that we need to cancel any of our courses or events, an alternative date will be provided.
To book on the course, please contact Kay on WhatsApp on 0741 1046 795.

Level 1 is open to all horse people and handlers who want to understand more about natural horsemanship and horse behaviour. Children under the age of 16 must be appointed by an adult and children under 14 years of age will need to be assessed before they can book on the course, please message Kay for more information.

Tel 💙

My teacher, My partner

Practice your passion & make it your profession…
Those words stayed with me and here we are 🤓 My profession is my passion, which I am committed in sharing with those who seek.

Demonstrations/shows are when my horses get to be seen in their own light. Showing our work, the result of the training we do. Our partnership ❤️

Tel is a proud and noble horse. He has power, presence, and a huge character, that I’ve never wanted to take away, rather ‘mould’ it.

Creating a partnership where horse and human understand & empower each other together.
Tel has taught me so much about this.

In our last show we showed bits from the training topics that we cover at Talent of the Horse.
How putting the work in to educate the horse with what he needs to understand our world/society 🤓 (because it’s a long way from his instinctual way of thinking) starts the partnership /journey to go anywhere you want with your disciplines together 🤠

Here’s some of my favourites of Tel

A well trained horse is mentally balanced in its work as well as physically.

I wonder what Perry is thinking in this bit, a party with Perry 🥳

This is my favourite part of that show, Vicky displayed my message perfectly…
Any ideas what part of the training program she is emphasising here? 👩‍🎓🐴Victoria WalshKay MaclachlanLyndsey Eaton-Dawson

Vicky & Perry ❤️🐴

I want to give a very special mention to Vicky and Perry, who joined me and Tel in the demonstration last weekend.

Vicky is not only a very good friend, but also one of my students — and watching her perform with Perry was something I was genuinely very proud of.

What you saw in the arena was the result of Vicky investing in herself.

She has put time and effort into developing her own handling skills, timing, feel and understanding. Rather than simply asking her horse to learn, she has been willing to learn herself — and that is where real progress starts.

That performance was a reflection of that work.

This is such an important part of what I am trying to build with Talent of the Horse School.

I don’t want to simply teach people what to do with their horses. I want to teach people to understand why, to develop their own skills and awareness, and to become better teachers for their horses.

Because when we improve the human, we change the information the horse receives — and that changes what the horse is able to learn.

So Vicky, I hope you know how proud I am of you. ❤️

You stepped into that arena, performed alongside me and Tel, and showed everyone what can happen when a person invests in their own learning as much as they invest in their horse.

Thank you for trusting me, for putting the work in, and for being brave enough to get out there and show what you have achieved as a horsewomen.

And thank you for being part of something that means so much to me.

You and Perry were brilliant. ❤️

Each movement is tailored to the horse in front of us — whether that’s a back lift, a shoulder extension, or a quiet moment of grounding. It’s all about awareness, alignment, and balance.
