Balanced Horse Training Program

Balanced Horse Training (BHT) teaches both horse and human to feel, not just perform. Every phase is built to strengthen communication, increase confidence, and bring out the best in both partners. From Groundwork & Riding Essentials through Intermediate & Advanced Modules, you’ll develop not just skills, but understanding — the kind that lasts through every ride.

Groundwork

On-line, Off-line/Liberty

15 Courses

 Overview

BHT Essentials starts with foundational basics of clarity and connection: establishing space, boundaries, and lightness through purposeful ground movement.

Intermediate lessons add precision and flow: using patterns for developing a responsive, balanced horse who stays mentally connected through every turn, transition, and task. This is where precision meets feel — where groundwork turns into partnership in motion.

Freedom through focus: perform obstacles and liberty maneuvers with timing and feel. The Advanced Groundwork is where horse and human move together in self-carriage — at liberty, at distance, and in complete understanding. Every cue becomes intention, and movement flows from trust and respect.

Riding

Balance, Feel & Body Control

38 Courses

Overview

Riding Essentials is where we put the foundation in place. You’ll learn to guide all four feet with your reins, move the horse’s body with your body – sternum riding, seat, feet, & hands with accurate intent.

Intermediate Riding lessons focus on refining how you accomplish transitions, collection, and suppleness through balance and feel. The Intermediate lessons focus on shaping movement and building control through rhythm, posture, and flow. This level bridges everyday riding with higher-level responsiveness—without losing lightness or connection.

The Advanced Riding Program is where  you’ll learn to ride with invisible cues—using your seat, physics, and intent to guide movement instead of relying on direct pressure. The horse learns to stay relaxed and balanced even in challenging maneuvers.

Transitional Training Program

OTTB Transitional Training Program

The best start for any horse is a calm, thoughtful start or restart. That’s what this transitional program gives you.

Kalley’s OTTB Transitional Training Program combines the fundamentals of Balanced Horsemanship with a thoughtful, step-by-step approach designed specifically for the Thoroughbred Racehorse mind. It teaches both horse and handler how to replace both instinctive and trained reactions with calm responses — creating confidence, control, and partnership on the ground and under saddle. The program lessons and instruction covers four core key areas, each organized into essential Stages, helping the Off-Track Thoroughbred find mental balance, follow a light feel, and get a fresh start.

“My name is Kay Palmer, and I have been training barrel horses professionally for 8 years now. I met Kalley when I moved to Triple Crown a few years back. Kalley’s knowledge has been a game-changer for my program! She has been the perfect combination of body control and horsemanship. I feel like Kalley is my secret weapon when it comes to training a horse to be confident and trusting of me at a high rate of speed. Kalley has been kind enough to help me with everything from off-the-track horses, green broke horses, improving performing horses, and fixing blown-up horses. Kalley has been able to just watch a horse move and give clear instructions on how to better control specific body parts for specific maneuvers. Her understanding of the horse’s mechanics and clear communication to teach me what she knows is unmatched by anyone I have worked with. She has taught me how to work with the minds of the more difficult horses through specific pressures that can be clearly understood by the horses. The combination of clear communication with the horses and a better understanding of their physical mechanics is a huge advantage to any training program. I highly recommend Kalley Krickenberg’s Balanced Horse Training!”
