Training Library
Training videos and written step by step instructions from Kat, built in the order she actually teaches them. This library is being made now and is not open yet.
Coming soon Nothing here is for sale today, and no part of this site is locked behind a payment.
Where this stands right now
The Training Library is in production and not yet available. There is no subscription to buy, no waiting list that takes a payment, and no training content held back behind a login on this site today.
When it is ready, the complete library will be part of a future paid Lazy K membership. That membership does not exist yet. Everything currently on this site, including all the guides, all the tools and the free member account, stays free and stays where it is.
If you want a lesson before then, that is available now, in person, throughout the Flathead Valley. See what Kat offers.
What the library is being built to cover
Five subjects, taught in the order they build on each other. These are the planned sections, described honestly: none of them is finished, and the list will change as filming makes clear what is actually needed.
Groundwork and communication
The work that happens before anyone gets on. How a horse reads pressure and release, how to ask so the try is worth something, and why the timing matters more than the tool.
Planned to coverLeading, yielding the hindquarters and forequarters, backing, feel and timing, reading what the horse is telling you.
Riding foundations
What a horse needs to understand under saddle before anything else is fair to ask of it. Built in the order Kat teaches it in a lesson, not in the order it looks good on video.
Planned to coverMounting and the first few minutes, a soft feel, steering from the seat, transitions, stopping, riding a horse that is worried.
Trailer loading and hauling preparation
Loading taught as a question rather than forced as an argument, and the preparation that happens at home long before the truck is running.
Planned to coverTeaching a horse to load, unloading, tying and standing, what to check before a haul, and how to plan the trip itself.
Horse care and handling
The daily handling that decides whether a horse is easy for a vet, a farrier or a stranger to work with. This is education, not veterinary advice.
Planned to coverHaltering and catching, handling feet, grooming and tacking, standing for care, the routine that makes a horse safe to be around.
Problem solving and confidence building
What to do when the horse says no, and how to rebuild an owner’s nerve after something has gone wrong. The most requested subject and the slowest to teach.
Planned to coverWorking through a specific refusal, desensitising honestly, rider confidence, the horse that has learned an evasion, when to get help.
What a membership is intended to include
This describes the intended design of the paid membership. It is not a description of something you can use today.
Full training videos
Complete sessions rather than clips, so you can see the whole shape of a piece of work, including the parts that do not go smoothly.
Written step by step instructions
Every video paired with written steps you can take out to the barn and follow without a screen in your hand.
Progress tracking
A private record of what you have worked through, so you can see where you are in a sequence instead of guessing.
Saved lessons and favourites
Keep the lessons you come back to, and the one piece of a session you needed to watch eleven times, in one place.
New material added over time
The library grows as Kat films it. It is not a fixed course you finish and never open again.
The free member account is open now
What the free account does today
Create a free Lazy K account to keep basic horse profiles in your own private record. It is separate from the future paid membership and it will stay free.
It does not unlock training content, because there is no training content to unlock yet.
What is already here, free
Nine written guides and twelve horse owner tools, including live barn conditions, hay and pasture arithmetic, towing limits and trip paperwork.
Would rather be taught in person?
Lessons, training and new owner consultations are running now across the Flathead Valley. Monday through Thursday, 10:30 am to 6:00 pm.
