Unlock the Magic in Your Horsecraft:
Change Your Relationship With YOUR Horse, TODAY!
Transform your horse-human relationship with science-backed Horsecraft and HeartMath
I understand your frustrations ...
If you are a lifelong horse lover, chances are you feel:
CONFUSED
You may be frustrated by experts who never agree or tired of wasting time and money on lessons without progress.
LIKE YOU LOST THE 'MAGIC'
I get it! As an International rider once known for making Magic with horses … I LOST the Magic!
TENSION, TIGHTNESS, OR LACK OF FLOW
When life outside the barn gets crazy, it can infect your horse time; self-doubt sabotaging your time in the tack.
AFRAID OF MAKING MISTAKES
You may dread lessons because you're worried about looking silly in front of others, or making mistakes that confuse your horse.
LIKE YOUR HORSE IS GRUMPY, PUSHY OR UNHAPPY
This doesn't feel like the relationship you dreamed of, and you are uncomfortable setting boundaries the ways you see modeled.
LIKE IT SHOULD FEEL BETTER THAN THIS!
You could be wondering if it is still possible to improve your timing, instincts, balance, and 'feel', and losing confidence to the point you wonder ... what's next?
I GET IT! the world of horsecraft can be a confusing place!
Ask 200 horse people a question, and you’ll get 200 answers!
In the horse world, conflicting methodologies abound. How do you know who to trust?
I CAN HELP!
I know where you are stuck and how to help you move forward, because I have proven that it is possible to re-gain the Magic once so frustratingly out of my reach. AND ... I can show YOU how, too!
'FEEL' IS IN YOU!
Turns out, the Magic of ‘feel’ is RIGHT THERE INSIDE OF YOU! You just need someone to help you uncover it. As a 'Facilitator of Feel' I can help you unlock what is already waiting to come out, and find that scrumptious flow state that has been eluding you.
LEARNING IS VULNERABLE
I know how humiliating it is to be called out in front of your peers and have your horse run in the other direction when you show up. That's exactly why I studied the science of learning, sentient communication, and connection! I KNOW that learning has to be FUN! And, it has to feel SAFE for you and your horse. Or really ... why bother?
We provide you with a roadmap to the magic you're missing
We have what you need to show up for your horse with increased confidence:
Deep Understanding of Horsecraft: Gain comprehensive knowledge about how horses think, feel, and react, allowing you to connect with them on a profound level.

What is Horsecraft?
We will look at the definition of good horsemanship across the disciplines and the common threads and attributes of good HorseCraft practitioners
A few of our Guiding Principles:
✅ Do the best you can with what you know.
✅ Then when you KNOW better, DO better. (Maya Angelou)
✅ Take life lightly and enjoy the ride!
✅ Test yourself. Test your horse. Test your relationship, but realize that there will be limitations as you learn and grow. Find satisfaction in all of the little steps along the way. If you feel it, your horse will too!
This learning combines traditional horsemanship, with science-backed exercises and stories of our own successes and failures over the years, to help YOU develop the instincts and environment your horse needs to thrive and connect with you.
Our process for your horsecraft
At The Magic Of Horsecraft, we know you aspire to transform your relationship with horses and become a confident, empathetic equine steward. In order to do that, you need to learn and practice science-backed, trauma-informed, heart-centered Horsecraft.
The problem is that most horse people struggle to find trustworthy guidance, leading to confusion and frustration, which makes them feel overwhelmed. They show up for their weekly lessons missing some key understandings of equine behavior and nervous system regulation, in ways that won't allow them to achieve the state of 'FLOW' that horses demand.
THAT's where the MAGIC is!
We believe that every horse-human relationship should be based on trust, mutual benefit, and understanding. We understand how it feels to grapple with these challenges, which is why we developed this course, supported by 1:1 coaching and HeartMath techniques, so that you can stop feeling lost and instead create a magical connection with your horse.
Discover the clarity and confidence you seek through our HorseCraft 101 Course, Virtual Clinics, 1:1 Coaching, & HeartMath Techniques.
We can provide you with a clear roadmap to help you understand how and why horses think and react the way they do, so you can create a relationship of mutual benefit & elevate your Horsecraft from Mundane to Magical!

Our Top Tip For Building Trust with YOUR Horse
Calm your nervous horse
Become the leader your horse needs
Avoid explosive behaviours like bolting and rearing
Support your horse, build your confidence, and elicit trust
Be the leader your horse needs and get one step closer to MAGIC!
My name is Paige Lockton, and as an International competitor in the sport of Three-Day Eventing; just a regular girl who came from a small Northern town; I had to learn to make the most of the horses I had. Without money for a string of EASY, athletic, well-trained horses … I had to get creative! To pay for my career in international Eventing, I rode confirmed bolters, anxious mares, and rearing stallions - horses that no one else wanted get on.
“Send it to that long-legged Canadian - SHE’LL RIDE IT! She’ll ride ANYTHING!”
Thankfully, growing up as the daughter of a veterinarian endowed me with an innate ability to calm traumatized animals.
I know what it takes to inspire trust, and create willing partners who are happy to see you at the gate and outperform better bred horses!
I also taught keen adult amateurs from non-horsey families and witnessed them struggle to develop ‘feel’ and the relationship of mutual trust they dreamed of. So often, they just didn’t understand the species, so their reactions were all wrong!
Their intentions were good, but they were unwittingly causing tension that too often ended in rearing, refusals, and losing confidence by the day. I helped them through their frustration as they grappled with assimilating conflicting ‘methods’ between horse pros.
In this unregulated industry where anyone can hang their hat, I have seen EVERYTHING! Where do you start and how do you know who to trust? I get it. No wonder you are confused!
In fact, I struggled with this, too. Over the decades, I was lucky to learn from the best horse people from across the disciplines … but it wasn’t easy! It was confusing to assimilate all of their methods and approaches.
I filtered my learning through my Dad’s lens – a revered vet and horseman – and together we figured out how to gel methodologies and philosophies. We found the ONE THING that ALL the Magicians in the world of Horsecraft agreed on.
Here, we share the first thing you need to know to help YOU develop your instincts, build trust, be the leader your horse needs, and improve your horse-human relationship. We call it, 'Never Holler, 'Whoa!' In A Tight Spot'. It's a philosophy we live by with horses ... AND LIFE!
