A Message From Our Founder
When I started Horses Around the World, people thought I was crazy to try teaching horse classes online- "How on earth are you going to teach horse lessons virtually??" was a common question. Necessity is the mother of all invention. During the COVID epidemic, our horses still needed feed and care even though we couldn’t teach lessons in person for months. Out of necessity, I turned to something I had only ever done here and there to enhance my local program: teaching about horses online. What happened next changed my life.
On the very first day, my classes filled instantly — 150 kids per week, learning in small groups of 6–12. The gratitude that poured in from families blew me away. Every message reminded me that learning feels different — deeper — when it’s tied to something a child loves.
Soon, our little barn in Oregon was connected to the world. Kids joined from Ireland, Canada, Australia, Bulgaria, Hong Kong, South Korea, Guatemala, and so many states across the U.S. I loved hearing about their riding lessons, their horses, their dreams. Even across oceans, horses became our shared language.
My friends and family felt the magic too — my classes became everyone’s favorite topic over coffee or dinner. Everyone wanted to hear about the kids from other countries and what they were learning in class. The excitement of friends and family helped me see that this wasn’t just a temporary solution. It was a community. A movement. A way for animal-loving kids everywhere to thrive.
I feel incredibly fortunate to offer these classes. Horses Around the World grew out of a moment of uncertainty, but it has become a place where children can learn, connect, and feel that same heart-filling joy that comes from knowing a horse as a friend.
With love,
Kali Kiger
