Kelly Wilson
Training & Horsemanship
Number One Bestselling author, award-winning photographer, reality television star, wild horse tamer, motivational speaker, liberty horsemanship, equestrian, Certified Emotion Code Practitioner (CEMP) and Certified Body Code Practitioner (CBCP), Kelly began her journey with wild horses back in 2012, taming 11 wild Kaimanawa horses alongside her sisters Vicki and Amanda Wilson.
Now, alongside a list of bestselling books and award-winning photographs of wild horses, Kelly is the only trainer in the world to have achieved top six finishes in the Extreme Mustang Makeover (USA), Australian Brumby Challenge (AUS) and Kaimanawa Stallion Challenge (NZ). In recent years, she has continued to advocate for wild horses on a global scale, taming over 100 wild horses. From 2018 to 2020 she also spent several months living with wild horses in Canada, America, Australia, Portugal and New Zealand to observe herd behaviour for her bestselling book Wild Horses of the World. She now has 21 books published.
Kelly also has a passion for training domestic and wild horses at liberty, winning Equidays Top Talent in 2018 and going on to perform at many of the nation’s leading equestrian events. Her extensive knowledge of wild horses, equine behaviour and horsemanship have gained her international recognition, and she has become a popular clinical.
Kelly’s training style is relationship-focused, with an emphasis on understanding and reading the horses body language to ensure the horse is able to learn through relaxation and clear communication. Since 2021 Kelly has also used vibrational communication and energy healing to aid in the training of her horses
