Bella Cavallo invites you to our Step Into Leadership Clinics for 2026
These clinics focus on the 12 essential steps we use in all our training. If you and your horse are not yet confident with these steps, you will both greatly benefit from attending:
• Before Me – Asking our horses to step out willingly before us when we are on their backs.
• Behind Me – Leading with respect and becoming the leader your horse will follow.
• Beside Me – Building connection, partnership, and trust; understanding one another’s expectations.
• Impulsion & Direction – Let me guide you.
• Clarity – Conscious, clear contact.
• Partnership – Don’t walk alone.
• Timing – Understanding pressure, release, and knowing when to let go.
• Control – Slow down, speed up—it’s all in the feet.
• Courage – Approach with curiosity, not contempt, before investigation.
• Inspiration – Staying present in the moment and the movement.
Our clinics are designed to strengthen the partnership between you and your horse, creating confidence, clarity, and true leadership.

About Bella Cavallo
My name is Vanessa Hartley, and I am the founder of Bella Cavallo—meaning beautiful horse. I have spent over 40 years working alongside horses, learning to truly understand them. I have studied Equus, the silent language of the horse, and dedicated much of my career to helping horses “speak better human,” specialising in remedial and problem horses.
In my day-to-day work, I am fortunate to collaborate with a wonderful team of kind, people-friendly horses. My goal is to make the world a better place for our equine friends. Using simple, clear tools, every horse can feel safer, more understood, and less confused. This isn’t about my way versus your way—it’s about practical, easy-to-learn guidance that is simple to implement and easy to remember.
Whether you bring a well-educated horse, a paddock pony, or choose to work with one of ours, you are warmly welcome. If you love horses, feel drawn to them, or simply want to learn more, we invite you to join one of our clinics—or book a private session with a group of friends.
