Ready to transform how you work with your horse?
After the success of our first live course, we are excited to announce that our next course will begin on 15th June 2024. Please scroll down for more information about the course, including how to register.
The Course
The Power of Walk course is our signature online course that runs over a 6 week period. It will teach you everything you need to know in order to use targeted and connected walk work to make profound changes to your horse's way of going. During each of the 6 weeks a new module becomes available that deals with a different topic essential to developing the connection, knowledge and technical skills needed for this work.

Our next live course will start on 15th June (16th June for those of you in Australia & New Zealand) and will run for 6 weeks. By registering you will have lifetime access to all the course materials, online support via our private Facebook study group and access to 7 live zoom sessions where you can ask questions and get extra guidance.
We are currently excited to be trialing a ‘pay what you can’ scaled pricing structure in line with our principles on equity. We hope this will allow everyone who is passionate about learning the Power of Walk to be able to access the course regardless of their financial situation.
This pricing structure offers three options rather than one fixed price. Please choose the option that feels appropriate to you and your circumstances.
Please note that places on the course are limited and that this pricing structure may not be available in the future.

Live sessions and support
The course is supported by seven, hour-long live sessions where Diana goes deeper into the theory, shows more video examples and is able to answer any questions from students. Recordings of these are uploaded to the course space so that they can be watched later if people are unable to attend in person.
Students also have access to a private Facebook page where they are able to post photos and videos of their progress to get feedback, advice and support during the course.
Results
The course does not have a specific end result in terms of your horse as every horse is so different, but may include improvements to the following:

Renate
"I would never have thought a walking program would make such a difference! My horse has developed a beautiful free walk. My horse is enjoying his work now. I can see it in his expression! He is starting to round up now and look so beautiful and proud."
Ruth
"I am already seeing a great improvement in our partnership, and in my pony's way of going. He has a much better attitude and is less easily distracted. His walk has improved greatly and seems to be more forward going despite the slower tempo."
Jodie
"The content in both is just what I was looking for which was clear information and guidance on how to bring my older mare back into work in a way that respected her mind and body and fostered my relationship with her in the process."
Please note that in order to develop the connection required for this work, part of the course will require you to become mindful of your own mind and body. You should also be aware that while profound change is possible through the course, if your horse has serious health issues or is in chronic pain, the course will be unable to resolve these issues. Our FAQ section below has more information that may help you work out if the course is right for you and your horse.
