☆ INSIDE THE FAIR ARENAS ☆

This arena focuses on the heart of the horse-human relationship and how clarity, feeling, and understanding shape everything else. Inside this arena, you'll learn from Andrew McLean, Warwick Schiller, Ariana Sakaris, Don Jessop, Robyn Hood, Patrick King, and many others.

☆ Discover the clarity that makes every interaction feel natural and right, so both horse and rider feel calm and understood instead of confused or frustrated

☆ Rebuild joy in the saddle after tough moments, so trust replaces fear and rides feel safe and uplifting again

☆ Release brace and resistance, opening space for softness, willingness, and smoother movement

☆ Develop responsiveness through understanding, so communication feels like a partnership rather than an effort or control

☆ Learn to recognize the difference between behavior and distress, helping you respond with compassion, confidence, and care

This arena supports the whole rider, mindset, body, and nervous system, helping you feel more grounded, confident, and at ease so your horse can feel it too. Inside this arena, you'll learn from Lucie Klaassen, Renae Falcinella, Anna Bergenstrahle, Donna Snyder-Smith, and many others.

☆ Quiet the fear and worry that hold so many riders back, so you can step into the saddle with ease

☆ Create balance and flow in your position, so your horse feels lighter, safer, and more connected with every stride

☆ Build resilience after setbacks, finding joy and confidence again no matter the challenge

☆ Strengthen body awareness with simple movements that prepare you and your horse for smoother, more harmonious rides

☆ Experience the relief of knowing what to do when nerves arise, so tension dissolves instead of building

Whole-horse insights to support movement, comfort, and emotional well-being, so your horse can truly thrive. Inside this arena, you'll learn from Linda Tellington-Jones, Dr. Stephan Peters, Robyn Hood, David Lichman, and many others.

☆ Explore the biomechanics of achieving balance, so your training supports relaxation, confidence, and long-term soundness

☆ Step-by-step guidance to help your horse stay calm and gain confidence in challenging situations, so they feel secure even when life doesn’t go as planned

☆ Notice subtle expressions, micro-movements, and signs of discomfort your horse wishes you’d see, so you can respond early and prevent problems before they begin

☆ Build species-specific enrichment, so your horse’s emotional resilience grows and stress behaviors give way to calm, connected moments

☆ Evaluate saddle impact on comfort, health, and performance, so your horse moves freely and willingly, without pain or resistance

Thank you for your interest in The Online Horse Fair 2026.

This year feels especially meaningful for so many of us who share our lives with horses. More than ever, we’re aware of the influence they have on our growth, our journey, and the people we’re becoming.

The Fair is my way of bringing together trainers and teachers who honor that relationship and who believe learning can be thoughtful, enriching, and fun.

I’m so glad you’re here!
