How it works

As a member, you have full access to every course. You can choose which ones to follow based on your goals and your horse’s needs. No matter your horse’s age or breed, this training fits — because most of it starts with us.
Begin with Step 1: Core Elements & Step 2: Feather Light Start to build a strong foundation. After that, you’re free to choose any course that interests you.

Each course starts with the basics and helps you build up to an advanced level step by step.

What our members say

What matters most to me is how the members experience the Feather Light Academy. Hearing how the Feather Light approach brings back connection, trust, and joy between horse and human is the greatest reward.

I joined the academy and I am LOVING IT!! I appreciate how you don’t edit out the difficult parts (trailer loading videos for example) to make it look easier than it is. You make it feel doable! 👏 The basics are so well explained too!

Mari

United Kingdom

I really do appreciate all your help so far. It is the 1st time I got a response from my horse since I was able to speak to Yvet on the live Q&A’s. No one else was able to help me to reach him. I am so grateful.

Anneke

South-Africa

I would like to take this opportunity to say how enthusiastic I am about your program and how many horses I have already been able to help in this gentle way. Thank you very much!
Ute

You have transformed my whole view of equestrianism. I’ve had horses for 50 years. Going forward, I will love them all with your brand of kindness.

Liz

United States

The relationship and communication with my horses has improved so much in just a few months of being a member 😊 The videos and explanation is so brilliant!

Clare

United Kingdom

I am an academy member for the second time and like the new videos you added in the first two sections. The first time I was a member in 2022 I did not full get your way of training with your videos. So I appreciate the new ones and understand now so much better!

Christine

Germany

I wanted to express my satisfaction with my membership. Yvet’s methods have made starting young thoroughbreds smoother and safer. My 3-year-old filly is now successfully saddle-broken with her tips.

Tine

Germany

I just saw the FIRST minute of the “mindset” video in the core elements course and had to stop just to write you this message. Because already in this very first minute (!) there is so much truth and so much inspiration.

Heike

Germany

I’m from California, and just wanted to say how much I love your videos! I watch the one with you dancing with your horse every day! It inspires me to see the love and care you give to your horses!!

 
Carmen

United States

I was a bit reluctant to purchase an online course to learn more about my horse, but I’m so happy I did give it a try! I really learned a lot and made some big improvements.

Kim

The Netherlands

Your trailer-loading video has already made a huge difference in another horse’s life. This horse used to be forced onto the trailer with hitting, but thanks to your video, it now walks on calmly and stays relaxed. Thank you for everything you do! 😊

Fenna

The Netherlands

Great ! THANKS !

I take this opportunity to tell you that your lessons are really of high quality.

I learn a lot. Thank you !😊

Frédérique

Belgium

I used to think, “Don’t make such a fuss, it’s not scary,” but that mindset is completely gone now. I’m now trying to learn and recognize every signal to truly build a connection so my pony can rely on me.

Denise

The Netherlands

I just wanted to thank you for your work! I really love the way you work with horses and even though I just subscribed some weeks ago, I can already tell a huge difference in the relationship with my relatively new horse.

Ann-Marie

Germany

I’ve been following your journey on Facebook and YouTube for a few years now and in January I bought a yearly membership and learned an incredible amount from your videos.

Zsófi

Hungary

I followed your step-by-step plan and yesterday was the first time I sad on my young horse. #momentofhappiness

Amber

I really appreciate how practical the Academy is — the tips and tools are easy to understand and I could start using them right away. It creates a learning environment that actually helps you move forward.

I created the Academy out of love for horses. Over the years, I’ve helped many horses and their owners, and I’ve learned that real change isn’t about training the horse. It’s about helping the owner truly understand them.

My dream is to make the world a better place for horses. Through the videos I create, I hope to reach people all over the world who want to build a real, meaningful connection with their horse. Every horse deserves to be understood. And every person deserves to feel what it’s like to really connect with their horse.
