At the tender age of 18, Katie Taylor has already set herself the audacious goal of becoming an expert in Natural Horsemanship. Having spent much of her youth in a homeschooling environment, Katie has developed the skills, confidence and resourcefulness to be able to achieve her goals. In this interview with our youngest ever podcast guest, Katie explains: 

• what natural horsemanship is and how it differs from conventional horsemanship 


• how learning horsemanship skills can develop leadership and communication skills


• how being homeschooled gave her the confidence and desire to educate herself


• how years of dedication and hard work have led Katie to be considered an expert


• how to literally be outstanding in your field

This is the Parelli Natural Horsemanship Program that Katie mentioned. 

Note: we first ‘met’ Katie when we interviewed her Mum, Jen, whose audacious goal was to travel Europe in a campervan with her family of five for one school year. Katie was 9 years old at the time. If you wish to learn more about Katie’s educational background, the interview with her Mum is Episode 2: Homeschooling in a Campervan with Jen Taylor
