Here's what previous members say about this course
I feel so happy when I receive messages like this 🙏
Actually, filming myself was good as I re-watched my videos and could see that sometimes I was not clear what I was asking and my position was not great either. But I also could see how much my horse was trying. Body language and not carrying tension in your body has been a big insight for me.
I like the fact the course gives so many ideas of how to play with groundwork for a horse who is not ridden, and they can still be very subtle and advanced in their movements and learn how to carry themselves and put the weight on the hind legs.
One thing I like about Lucie is she posts videos and training sessions with everything, good and bad bits and with horses who have never done it before to show what can happen. I respect this and her honesty.
I really love your way of teaching. It’s easy to understand both the way you explain and your videos . As I am Norwegian, sometimes it can be difficult to do it in English, but not your course.
And thanks to Jill as well for the amazing filming ! She’s got all the right positions and it’s so easy to see what you do, I’m forever grateful for this 🙏
We are so lucky to have you in our horse world! You are true, honest and preach what you do . Your relationship with horses is amazing! Really grateful that I came across you many years ago ❤️.
When Lucie finally decided to do online courses, I jumped on. First, the True Connection course and now the Lateral Movements simplified course.
Lucie's dedication and way of explaining is so important to me. Her patience and finding the solutions when you get stuck and making it simple for you to adapt.
In addition, she is also qualified in body balance for people and helps you to learn to know your own body so you can better use it in your communication with your horse.
She is really doing holistic horsetraining courses. You will never regret doing a course with Lucie!

Hi, my name is Lucie Klaassen
INTRODUCING
I’m a passionate explorer of self-awareness and growth. Circumstances in my life and my path with horses have inspired me to look deep into myself and find my own truth to questions like “What does it mean to truly connect? How can I listen to my body wisdom and to the wisdom of my horses?”
I love to support and guide you and your horse towards true connection, mutual respect and playful togetherness. From that place, you can train your horse to become stronger, more flexible, balanced and collected. Now, magic can happen and everything you do with your horse becomes easier and more beautiful!
I have been fortunate to travel the world and teach clinics in 14 different countries. Now, with my online courses, you can learn from home in your own time.
Do you want to go on a journey with me?
I will bring joy, ease and confidence to your horse training!

More Testimonials from Participants
Here’s what previous members say about this course
It was amazing what happened with the horse attitude when I changed my mental approach from "We do this together!" to "CAN we do this together?”
The course is brilliant and I warmly recommend it if you want techniques to monitor and improve your own relaxation and, from that place of calmness, help your horse get stronger and better balanced with lateral work ❤️
I really love how you explain things with your whole body. That gives me a really great image of what I want in my mind. I also like that you don't just show perfection, but also things that can and will go wrong. I like the lessons you give others. It's like a little lesson for me. I can take your words with me to my horse. And I love it when you laugh!
Your course has improved our work on placing shoulders and haunches so much that I now don't feel overwhelmed at the thought of advanced work but can see our road to there clearly. And we did get some steps half pass already. Yay!
I like the step by step process. The explanations are easy to understand and very clear. Great to see you work with an experienced horse and with a young horse and also teach an inexperienced person. A great combination to show what the movement should look like and also what are some things that could go wrong.
I do believe you can teach your horse all lateral movements in 6 months with your program. However, you do need to have a very clear understanding of what you should be asking for, be very consistent in your training and know how to use your body the correct way.

Frequently Asked Question
Here are answers to the questions that I receive most frequently
Yes, you can choose to pay in 1 payment or in 6 monthly installments.You can find the payment plan options when you click the link below the full payment buttons.
Yes, I want you to be 100% happy so if within 30 days you find that the course is not for you, you will get your money back.
You will start together with an international group and join a supporting facebook group.
Every month a new module will become available.
The course has 6 modules. Every module will include background theory, a PDF with a summary of the videos and important information, videos of me working with my horse and with a horse that has never done any groundwork before. There are also videos of other people having lessons with my horse. In this way, you will see a variety of horses and how they respond, which will help you with your own horse.
We only work on the ground and your horse will move in a biomechanically correct way. If you have any doubts when your horse has a physical problem, then please contact your vet first.
About 2-4 short (20-30 minutes) practice session with your horse each week would be great. It is better to have short sessions more frequently than 1 long session per week.
The ONLY way to change is to practice. Every module has a PDF with homework exercises that you can do at home. You don’t have to submit anything because it is only for YOU.
Every module has around 10 segments (videos) and every video is between 5 and 20 minutes. Plan for approximately 2 hours per week to watch the videos. Based on the questions from the participants, I keep adding new videos to the course.
Yes, every module has a summary PDF of all the video’s that you can download. It is almost a transcript of what is explained in the video’s
The course has been designed for 6 months but you will have access to all course material for 1 whole year after you signed up, so there is enough time to watch the videos again and practice with your horse. After 1 year you can choose whether you would like to extend your membership for another year for a small fee (I will let you know 1 month before the year's membership ends).
If you purchased the VIP option or the life-time access, then you will keep access to the course for as long as it is available online (and I don't intend to retire for a looong time!).
No, the course is only available in English
Yes, you will be invited to a closed FB support group where you will be together with the other course participants. You can ask questions and post videos for feedback. You will find like minded and like spirited people in this group who are all on the same journey!
You need to have a good connection and communication with your horse. It's also very beneficial if you have a certain awareness of your own body posture. The best preparation is the True Connection course so that your horse is connected to your breathing and is responding to your body posture.
