Key13 Horsemanship Science-based horsemanship rooted in trust, clarity and partnership. Building willing horses from the ground up

06/18/2026

We often expect horses to know their job without realizing that experience is what allows them to succeed.

Today was Molly's first time pulling an object. Even if my harness is a little small for her, she took it all in stride and actually seemed to enjoy it.

Before we ever reached this point, we spent time building the basics: forward, left, right, and a solid understanding of ground driving. Because expectations should always come after education.

Tomorrow she'll be even more prepared for the job ahead as she grows into new her role. Every first experience becomes tomorrow's confidence.

💗Talma💗 is a grade 14.3hh Quarter Horse mare, approximately 15 years old.

Talma is a quiet, gentle soul looking for the right person to continue her journey. She loads well, stands quietly tied, picks up all four feet, can be saddled and lunged, and is generally not spooky. Once she trusts you, she is easy to catch and enjoys human connection. She is intelligent, very trainable, and a quick learner.

Talma has a past that has left her with a few quirks, which will be fully disclosed to serious interested parties. Over the last two weeks, she has made significant progress with proper handling, training, and patience. While she was ridden in the past, she is currently being offered as a companion horse or a project for someone willing to continue helping her build confidence and trust. With the right person, time, and continued education, she may be able to return to riding in the future. Talma was also previously used as a broodmare and proved to be a wonderful mother.

If you are looking for a kind mare and are willing to invest the time in building her confidence, earning her trust, and continuing her training, Talma has a lot to offer.

Located near Barrhead, Alberta.

This is exactly why I always check the hind end and tail before a first ride.

A horse needs to be comfortable being touched there, but also comfortable when a little chaos unfolds beside them.

Today, Tinsley and Winston handled it like champs. Good job

Caring is also training.

Talma is slowly starting to make choices again, and after all this rain, she let us know her muscles were feeling a little tight. So today was about listening.

She enjoyed some stretching, grazing, brushing, and simply taking the time to relax.

Sometimes progress isn't measured by what we ask of a horse, but by what they feel comfortable enough to tell us. ♡

For Talma, learning that her voice matters may be one of the most important lessons of all.

It’s time to introduce our intern for the 2026 training season: meet Léna!

Léna is 26 years old and also originally from France. She has been living in Canada for a little over two years, building experience in several areas of the western horse industry. During that time, she has worked on guest ranches, guiding trail rides and giving riding lessons, while also developing strong ranch skills through feedlot work and cattle handling on horseback.

Most recently, Léna joined our program to continue growing her experience in horse training and horsemanship. Passionate about horses, ranch life, and always learning, she brings a great mix of work ethic, curiosity, and genuine love for the western lifestyle.

From day one, Léna has shown the same dedication, care, and kindness for horses that we strive for at Key13 Horsemanship. We are grateful to have her as part of the team and excited to have her with us this season.

Léna is also the proud owner of Wilson ( W***y) who is part of her summer adventure with us. Together, they are beginning his journey under saddle, and you'll be able to follow their progress and milestones throughout the season right here.

Welcome to the team, Léna!
