I am incredibly grateful to the wonderful Lizzie MacKenzie for filming, editing and development work for my online course and promotional material. Lizzie is a talented and intuitive filmmaker whose work really captures the essence of horses, I highly recommend you get in touch with her if you have a project that needs a gentle and capable touch! She can be reached via her website www.ofthewild.me, email: [email protected], or on Instagram @ofthewiild.
We’re here for the horses. The Touching Wild community is committed to understanding horses from the equine perspective. We believe in a kinder, gentler approach, innovating and showcasing species-appropriate care and training that is rooted in meaningful research and extensive practical experience. – Bonny Mealand
We envision a world where all equines are recognised and valued for their own innate worth. Where they are allowed freedom of expression and where the people caring for them act from a place of integrity, consideration and balance.
Our joyful and respectful relationships are built on the solid foundation of kindness and the recognition of our interconnectedness.
This is my way of sharing the valuable insights and information that I’ve gathered over the years as an equine professional with extensive field experience (literally!), and during my current Equine Science MSc studies.
I'll provide you with tangible ways of meeting your horse where they are. We will help them feel safe so that both your lives and theirs are enriched and and you can build the relationship you’ve dreamed of with your horse.
The course provides a shift in perspective. You will begin to see and appreciate who horses are — The Equine Blueprint — in a more nuanced and meaningful way, enabling you to handle, train, and care for your horses in the best possible way.

"A glance at Bonny's complete commitment to learning about and understanding the horse, and her enormous depth of knowledge and experience in finding ways of working which respect and blend with the innate characteristics of an animal which so often is misunderstood and imposed upon. Bonny is a remarkable lady and it was a privilege to meet and study with her." – Ann Currie, MSc
