For all TRAIL OBSTACLE ENTHUSIAsts!
The only trail obstacle based method to effectively improve horsemanship, partnership, confidence, and trust while having fun and learning to be a leader your horse wants to follow.
I enjoy helping you guys on your horse and trail obstacle journey.
Yet, I struggle because I know there is SO MUCH MORE I can teach you.
Do you want
a better partnership with your horse?
Let’s talk.
Maybe you don’t know where to start.
Maybe you are just bored and feel like you’re just going through the same motions.
Maybe you feel like you aren’t doing your horse justice.
Maybe you struggle to know what to do and when to do it.
Maybe you struggle with confidence and leadership.
Maybe you or your horse (or both of you) lack a solid foundation.
Unlike other horsemanship programs, this program is based on trail obstacles, plus it includes foundation horsemanship principles based on vaquero traditions with a little dressage added in.
Trail obstacles help specific skills, concepts, and exercises make sense to you and your horse.
When you learn and practice these skills you become more effective and clear and use your body language effectively, helping your horse to see you as a leader and to build confidence.
I have developed an efficient, effective program for teaching horses and riders foundation skills using trail obstacles.
The truth is, the basic foundation pieces add up to the fancy finessed maneuvers and obstacles. Big results can happen quickly when the right things are practiced. The simple little things matter.
The foundation is everything.
As you practice these skills and exercises you will see improvements in you and your horse in a variety of areas, from confidence, partnership, and trust, to being a better leader and raising your trail obstacle scores.
“Kelli Paulson has a gift as a horse professional to teach in an inspiring way. She can explain clearly each step of a complex maneuver in an encouraging way. Kelli is safety conscious and shares her fundamentals for horse and human interactions. She stresses the importance of moving the feet to connect with the horse’s mind and build on those basics for attaining bigger goals.”

Trail Obstacle Ideas & Building Plans
Kelli has 18 years of clinic teaching experience and is the author of “How to Build Simple Trail Obstacles” and the co-author of the “Working Equitation Handbook”!
Kelli’s clinic gave me ideas to progress my communication and horsemanship with my mare. She teaches in a way that is easy to understand and non judgemental. I had a great time.

Personally, I want to equip you with clear actionable skills (with no overwhelm) so you can make huge progress with your horse this year.
FAQ
How much time is required?
It really depends on how much you want to get out of the mini clinics and exercises. It could take as little as 2 hours per month to just do the exercises. OR you could spend several hours mastering the material.
Can I find this info on YouTube or Google?
You may find bits and pieces here and there but it will not be a cohesive trail obstacle program. This is the only place you will find this material.
Many horse memberships are overwhelming. Will this be?
No. Watch the videos and do the exercises. Each concept has step-by-step instructions. Kelli not only tells you what to do, she also tells you how to do it. The activities are designed to be done in order and to give you clear results.
What if I need extra help?
Ask questions in the Facebook group or on the monthly Q&A Zoom call. You are encouraged to include a short video.
Is the full program available now?
Each month one mini clinic lesson will be released. At the end of 12 months, it will be a complete program with a value of over $995.
I really want this program to be affordable and accessible.
What do I get to keep?
The videos are hosted on our server and you have access when you are a member. You may download, print, and keep the exercises, checklists, etc. We encourage you to put them in a binder for quick reference.
Kelli has a great way of breaking things down step by step and communicating clearly and kindly. I am going home with new found confidence and tools to take on new challenges.

Are you ready to accomplish more with your horse?
Here’s the truth…without a plan we often go in circles and don’t make progress.
Think of this membership as one high quality lesson a month with printable take home exercises. Now wouldn’t that be super cool for only $27?
Just imagine…
- Knowing what to practice while you improve your horsemanship, partnership, and confidence!
- Learning to be the leader your horse wants to follow
- Raising your trail obstacle scores
- Learning how to complete trail obstacles and what the judge is looking for
Honestly, I am tired of poor horsemanship, unnecessary gadgets and shortcuts, frustrated horses and riders, and riders practicing without purpose. Today is the day to start changing all of that. I will share with you secrets of timing and feel, position, and posture, to help you be the leader the horse wants to follow.
Just sign up, take action and do it!
