Kristan-Lee Kruger specialises in natural horsemanship and equine behaviour, offering riding lessons, groundwork, backing, and schooling for horses at all stages of their training.
With a Level 3 qualification in Equine Behaviour & Psychology, she brings a solid understanding of why horses think and react the way they do, helping her create training sessions that actually make sense to each individual horse.
Kristan-Lee takes a calm and patient approach, focusing on building trust, clear communication, and small steps that lead to real progress. Whether you’re working with a young horse, bringing one back into work, or wanting to improve your own confidence in the saddle, she supports both horse and owner every step of the way.
She works with riders and horses of all ages and abilities, making sure everyone feels supported, understood, and able to learn at their own pace.
Kristan is an amazing instructor! She’s given me some riding lessons, and her knowledge and friendly approach make such a difference. Watching how she is around the horses is so impressive, you can tell immediately that she really knows her stuff.
She has a natural way of calming horses down and instinctively knows how to handle any situation. I'm impressed with the way she works with both horses and other riders.
My daughter had her first riding lesson with Kristan last Saturday after not being able to ride for over a year because she broke her ankle. Kristan made my daughter feel so at ease and gave her information and advice on what she needed to know. Kristan at Double K Horsemanship is very friendly.
I would highly recommended Kristan to anybody and I can’t wait for Saturday for my daughters riding lessons again.
I met Kristan purely by chance and she was absolutely amazing with my mare. I lost my confidence after bad fall and Penny was rushing off in canter. Just after couple of sessions there was visible improvement! I am back in the saddle with trust in my horse restored.
We continue the work for further improvements and I highly recommend Double K Equestrian as the kindness and understanding in the services is outstanding.
These photos capture the connection, communication and quiet moments that form the heart of our horsemanship approach.
Kristan has worked with our 4 horses over the past 12 months and has helped enormously with bringing on our young thoroughbred.
She is excellent at ground work and then transitioning that to work under the saddle. I have trust that our horses are in safe hands with Kristan and she will brings the best out of them. She is patient, but not afraid to ask questions when the horse is ready through her style of horsemanship. I would recommend Kristan.
