"As a beginner rider with a challenging draft horse, I am so fortunate to have found Kaya. Her deep dedication and understanding of horsemanship have entirely reshaped my perspective on what horse training should look like. Kaya’s approach is not only rooted in skill and patience but also in a remarkable openness and honesty that builds trust between horse, trainer, and owner alike.
What sets Kaya apart is her commitment to developing a well-rounded horse, leaving no gaps in the foundation. Her method ensures that every aspect of the training is meticulously addressed, resulting in a horse that is not only responsive and well-behaved but also secure and confident in its abilities.
I cannot recommend Kaya enough to anyone seeking to enhance their horse’s training or to broaden their own understanding of horsemanship. Working with her has been an absolute privilege."

"Kaya's passion for horses, for learning, and for teaching was apparent immediately. I initially just wanted help with my mare that has pull back issues and needed someone I could trust to help me safely load, unload, and haul her. Kaya's patience and gentleness made something I'd been afraid to do on my own turn out to be simple and straightforward. From there it was an easy decision for her to start spending time with my other horses. I enjoyed her excitement and enthusiasm every time she worked with each of them. She consistently made sure I knew what she was trying to accomplish, changes she was looking for and coached me to the point I was able to continue on the days she wasn't there.
I highly recommend Kaya Mead Horsemanship for any help further developing your skills, your horse's skills and the partnership between you and your horse.

"Kaya’s patience and understanding have made an incredible difference for my mare, Sheila. As an older horse who had never really been handled, Sheila was anxious and relied entirely on other horses for security, never having had a reason to trust people. Kaya met her exactly where she was, helping her grow more comfortable with the halter, being caught, picking up her feet, and even getting her very first trim.
​
Her approach goes beyond just training—she fosters trust and confidence in both horse and owner. She made sure I had the tools and knowledge to keep Sheila progressing, always offering support along the way. Her calm, knowledgeable guidance has given both of us a foundation to build on, and I feel so much better knowing she’s there if we get stuck.

I’m incredibly grateful for Kaya’s help and highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, horse-centered training."
