Testimonials
“Very helpful, has helped me and my gelding get through his issues and learn lots! 10/10”
-Kaya & Tyrus
“Our daughter Callie has currently had five horse lessons with KTW Horsemanship, Kaytie has been everything we hoped for in a trainer. She is patient, kind, and explains everything in full detail. Callie is seven and has a deep love for horses and riding, although just a beginner, we’ve seen big strides in her confidence. We currently relocated to Oregon from New York, she was experiencing anxiety with the transition and since lessons her buddy Snickers (horse) and Kaytie has really helped. Highly recommend!”
-Shyra & Callie
“I would highly recommend Kaytie as an instructor for horseback riding and all things equitation. I started with her not knowing much at all about horses and quickly gained confidence with ground and riding skills. What I appreciate most about the way Kaytie runs her program is that you get a holistic learning experience – everything from how to read horse body language, to grooming, to becoming a leader with them and improving communication between you and your horse. This is so much better quality than other programs I’ve tried where horses were tacked up before my lesson started and whisked away after hopping off. Her lesson horses are also gentle and patient and love people, which is a plus!”

“My daughter has been riding Snickers for over a year now. Kaytie has been excellent with my daughter, she’s very patient, understanding and each lesson flows very smooth. Snickers has a wonderful disposition with a heart of gold. We look forward to every lesson and I’m seeing positive results in my daughters riding and personal well being outside of lessons. I’m super thankful for everything Kaytie and Snickers has done for my family so far.”

“Kaytie is so good with horses and children. My 9 year old daughter had no experience with horses and Kaytie made her feel very comfortable.”
-Lauren & Meira
“Kaytie is very passionate about her pursuit of excellent horsemanship. She is very patient with both riders and horses. I would highly recommend considering reaching out to her if you are new to the equestrian world or if you are looking to reignite an old passion that has fizzled throughout the years!”

“A wonderfull horseriding experience – Thank you Kaytie!
During my third trip to Oregon, I was looking for a place to reconnect with horseback riding after nearly 10 years out of the saddle. I found Kaytie at KTW Horsemanship in La Pine—and what a gift that was.
From the very first moment, I felt at ease. Kaytie has such a kind, calm, and deeply thoughtful way of teaching. Over the course of three private lessons, I not only regained my confidence, but I also rediscovered my love for horseriding. Each session brought something new: techniques, reflections, fun, and meaningful progress.I had the honor of riding Paulie—an incredibly sweet and energetic horse unlike any lesson horse I’ve known. Riding her was a true partnership, not just a ride. And with Kaytie’s guidance, everything clicked into place.
Her new arena in the woods is a peaceful, authentic space that makes each lesson feel special. The one-on-one attention, the natural setting, the way Kaytie takes her time to really help you understand both horse and rider—it’s unlike anything else I’ve experienced.
I’m incredibly grateful for the care and passion Kaytie puts into her work. I’ll definitely be back, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a very personal and transformative riding experience.”
