Hi I'm Kelly Wilson

Number One bestselling author, award-winning photographer, reality television star, wild-horse tamer, motivational speaker and horsewoman, Kelly Wilson began her journey with wild horses in 2012, taming 11 Kaimanawa horses alongside her sisters, Vicki and Amanda.

Since then, she has helped tame more than 250 wild horses and is the only trainer in the world to achieve top-six finishes in the Extreme Mustang Makeover (USA), Australian Brumby Challenge (AUS) and Kaimanawa Stallion Challenge (NZ).

Kelly has a particular passion for liberty and bridleless horsemanship, working with both wild and domestic horses to develop communication, confidence and connection. Her extensive experience with wild horses, equine behaviour and energy work has earned her international recognition as a trainer, clinician and judge.

At the heart of Kelly’s training is a relationship-focused approach, centred on understanding each horse’s body language and creating an environment where they can learn through relaxation, trust and clear two-way communication. Her years spent observing horses in the wild have been particularly influential, helping her recognise what horses genuinely need at each stage of training and how subtle changes in communication can transform their confidence, willingness and connection.

The author of 21 books, Kelly continues to share the stories of wild horses through her writing, photography, horsemanship and advocacy, while helping others better understand horses for who they truly are, listen to what they are communicating and build stronger relationships with them.
