I’ve always felt called to help horses and the people who love them in ways that feel meaningful, respectful, and grounded in relationship.

Horses teach us far more than training and technique. They invite us to slow down, listen, stay present, and grow, not only as horsemen, but as people.

The Online Horse Fair and Membership bring together thoughtful teachers from around the world who honor the horse as a whole being.

This is a supportive space where learning feels clear, empowering, and deeply connected.

The lessons horses offer reach far beyond the arena, guiding us toward greater clarity, confidence, and compassion.

Better People. Better Horses. Better World.
All Because of the Horse.

I’m truly glad you’re here and warmly invite you to walk this path with us.


Because of the Horse

Hello! My name is Paula Curtis, I've been teaching and training since our teens, inspired by legendary horsemen like Ray Hunt, Buck Brannaman, and Walter Zettl.

But it’s not just about the knowledge; it’s about the right kind of knowledge. When you surround yourself with teachers who embody presence, awareness, and heart-centered principles, the transformation goes far beyond horsemanship. Horses become our greatest teachers, showing us how to let go of limiting patterns, focus on possibilities, and step into our best selves.

Through the Because of the Horse, I aim to make this wisdom accessible to everyone. I created the Fair and Membership as a way to bring together the world’s most inspiring trainers, who share not just techniques but also the deeper lessons horses teach about life, connection, and growth.

Our passion is to help horses and their people in a way that is meaningful and transformative. “Because of the horse,” we’ve learned to live more fully, love more deeply, and raise our children in a way that honors the lessons horses bring to our lives.

Because of the horse, we live more aligned, present in the moment, and with greater purpose and connection. These lessons on life brought to us by our favorite horses have made us better people along the way.

Better People... Better Horses... Better World... all "Because of the horse."

Join us on this journey. Let’s grow together! 💜
