Kellyn Burtka’s experience in the equestrian field is long and diverse. Starting at an early age, Kellyn has pursued a single-minded goal of excellence in all things equestrian, and has competed in the Michigan Hunter Jumper Association circuit events, as well as showing in numerous divisions including Hunt Seat, Western Pleasure, and gymkhana at various breed-association and open shows across the state.

Kellyn’s formal education includes a degree in Animal Science and Agribusiness Management from Michigan State University with a specialization in horses. In addition, Kellyn studied at the renowned Enniskillen College in Northern Ireland, receiving training in Show jumping, Dressage and Thoroughbred racing, as well as the breaking and training of green horses.

Kellyn has a long history of training and teaching, including teaching courses in topics from horse selection and confirmation, to driving draft horses, to equine plant toxicology. Kellyn founded the Novi High School Equestrian Team in 1999, and coached the team until 2007. Not satisfied with being on a horse, Kellyn also founded the MSU Driving Club in 2005, and competed at the Great Lakes International Draft Horse Show & Pull.

Kellyn has worked with horsemen from around the world to put together a training and teaching program that focuses on problem-solving with a light touch and starting young horses under saddle with an emphasis on positive communication. Kellyn’s methods include the best elements of Natural horsemanship combined with traditional European techniques.
