Kelly de Geus

A dedicated horse trainer and coach from the Netherlands, who has been captivated by horses for as long as she can remember. For over a decade, Kelly's main focus has been on training horses herself, developing a specialty in teaching horses to piaffe and passage in hand. This is always a result of optimal communication and body use, and never a quick fix or trick. Having trained over 1.000 horses in hand, Kelly now primarily focuses on sharing the knowledge she gained by doing so, thereby helping more people (and, in turn, more horses) feel better, improve posture and optimise performance.

Kelly's mission is to improve horse welfare through knowledge transfer and helping horses by helping humans—teaching her training principles of dressage and horsemanship to enhance well-being, improve posture, and optimize performance, from ground to saddle. Central to Kelly's approach is the importance of a strong foundation, as a solid base ultimately makes it possible to progress to more advanced exercises, like the piaffe, as a logical consequence.
