Kalley’s 2026 event, demo, and clinic schedules.
Williston, Florida

2-Day Clinic + 1 Day of Private Lessons (sold separately)

This Balanced Horse Training Clinic will focus on the Essentials and Intermediate skill-building lessons and exercises covering online & offline groundwork and in-saddle riding. The clinic is for the novice to the experienced rider, in any sport or non-sport.

Based on Kalley’s BHT Program, her clinics are lesson-packed, easy to follow, and progressive – each lesson building on the next.  You’ll learn:

  • How to establish clarity from the ground up
    Learn how pressure, release, body language, and the drive line influence your horse’s balance, direction, and focus—so communication becomes simple, light, and consistent.
  • How to anchor your horse mentally before adding speed or complexity
    Create calmness and confidence first, preventing tension, rushing, or resistance under saddle.
  • How to organize movement, not manage it
    Use purposeful patterns on the ground and under saddle to develop straightness, bend, and rhythm without micromanaging every step.

San Antonio, Texas Clinic - Essentials

2-Day Clinic

This will be a great clinic to familiarize yourself with Kalley’s Balanced Horse Training Program. We will cover BHT Basics for Advanced Maneuvers (a perfect starting point for horses of all ages and stages). Her clinics are lesson-packed, easy to follow, and progressive – each lesson building on the next. As students and horses are ready, Kalley will step us into some Intermediate exercises. 

The brilliance of Kalley is the Horsemanship that she uses to teach and drive the exercises. Her clinic format is geared to the participants, with detailed explanations of the exercises and why it matters, demonstrations, lots of practice, and check-ins with each horse & rider as they progress. With her unique approach, we experience the scope and depth of her knowledge base and horsemanship wisdom – and leave with better ground & riding skills and better horsemanship.

Keepin' It Fresh - The Book

Kalley Krickeberg is a world-class equestrian who developed her innovative Balanced Horse Training (BHT) curriculum through extensive study across multiple disciplines.

Foaling Season is Here!

Don’t get caught without the essentials. Kalley will help set you and your new arrival up for success, whether that’s with high quality tools or helpful tips for safe and proven steps for a smooth halter breaking process.
OTTB Program – Phase I

Ground Manners

Building Safety, Respect, and Trust

Overview
Before a horse can relax under saddle, it must feel safe and understood on the ground.These lessons are about teaching the OTTB to think instead of react, and to respect personal space without fear or tension.
Why It Matters
Good ground manners create safety and peace of mind for everyone. These skills build mutual respect and help the OTTB learn that being handled is something to look forward to — not something to brace against. The horse begins to replace “flight” with “focus.”
What you’ll Work On
OTTB Program – Phase II

Basic Groundwork

Building Body Control and Mental Connection

Overview

Once the horse is calm and manageable on the ground, it’s time to start communication through movement. These stages teach the OTTB how to yield to pressure, follow the handler’s focus, and develop confidence through purposeful work.

Stages
What You’ll Work On
Why It Matters
This stage replaces racing instinct with responsiveness. The horse begins to understand how to read the handler’s intent, find comfort in stillness, and accept direction without anxiety. It’s the foundation of self-control.
This is where the OTTB learns curiosity instead of fear. We use obstacles to teach the horse to think and move through challenges calmly.
What You’ll Work On
Why It Matters

Horses coming off the track can often be desensitized to a soft feel, but hypersensitive to noise and motion. This stage rebuilds emotional balance — teaching them to pause, assess, and relax in motion.

OTTB Program – Phase III

Basic Riding Skills

From Track Horse to Riding Partner

Overview
When Groundwork is solid, the OTTB is ready to transition under saddle. These lessons help the horse understand how to respond correctly to pressure from the rider’s seat, legs, and reins — not act like they are continuously charging out of the starting gate of life.
Stages
What You’ll Work On
Why It Matters

This stage establishes safety and control under saddle. It replaces reaction with response and teaches the OTTB to stay light or slow down/stop when asked to move out.

What You’ll Work On
Why It Matters

Thoroughbreds are forward thinkers. This stage teaches them that forward motion doesn’t mean racing — it means thinking. The horse learns rhythm, control, and patience.

What You’ll Work On
Why It Matters

This stage transitions the OTTB from “tolerating” to “trusting.” The horse learns to carry the same confidence outside the arena that was built inside it. Each new experience is approached with calm curiosity instead of tension, resistance or panic.

“You can’t rush trust and respect. You build it one experience at a time.” — Kalley Krickeberg

Working with Kalley Krickeberg has completely changed the way my OTTB and I work together. When I first started, my horse had all the raw talent in the world but not a lot of direction. He was forward, sensitive, and athletic, but still very much a racehorse in his mind. Kalley helped us turn that energy into something focused and productive.

Her training has improved every part of our program. In show jumping, she taught us how to balance, stay rhythmic, and ride each fence with confidence instead of just “getting to the other side.” She explains things in a way that actually makes sense, and she always pays attention to what both horse and rider need. Because of that, my OTTB has gone from unpredictable distances and inconsistent form to jumping around with power, straightness, and relaxation.

But what I appreciate most is that Kalley doesn’t just help create a competitive horse. she builds a complete, well-rounded partner. She helped us develop softness on the flat, better lateral work, and the kind of adjustability that makes everything else easier. My horse is more responsive, more confident, and honestly happier in his job.

Thanks to Kalley’s guidance, I feel like I finally have a horse who can do it all, and I’ve grown a ton as a rider along the way. I’m so grateful for the foundation she’s helped us build and the progress we continue to make because of her.
