This year, thanks to our amazing connections in Europe, we are offering a new European format 10-Day Workshop to help make it more possible for adopters to not only tame a wild horse, but also take it home with them.

1 - 10 AUGUST 2025 (AUTUMN)
Under the expert guidance of Kelly Wilson and Hannah Catalino, you’ll witness and participate in the art of gentling wild Mustangs using proven, relationship-focused methods. Each day is a masterclass in creating calm, confident horses ready to thrive in their new human partnerships.

WILD MUSTANG + OWNERS PACKAGE
Tame your very own Mustang in the US and take it home with you! Come to the US Workshop to tame your Mustang and have the chance to preselect your wild horse, from photos, before you arrive. You'll have the privilege of being the first to connect with your Mustangs and in doing so, play a vital role in saving it from the BLM yards and giving it a second chance at life. The price includes the purchase price of the horse, plus 4-weeks of additional training with Hannah Catalino before it's exported to Europe.

MUSTANG LIBERTY PACKAGE
Don't want to keep your Mustang? Audit as the wild horse participants tame their horses, then be mentored through the liberty milestones with a semi-wild horse from our USA, 21-Day Workshop who were tamed just a few weeks earlier.

ADOPT OR CHANGE A LIFE
For those wanting to purchase their Mustangs, they will be specially sourced for immediate export, giving international participants a rare chance to adopt and tame their very own Mustang. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to not only tame a wild Mustang but also take it home with you! For those unable to keep their Mustang, you can still play a crucial role in fulfilling an adopter's dream by gentling a wild horse that Hannah will later match with its forever home.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
A maximum of 12 trainers will be selected.
The Mustang Liberty Package will be limited to 6 participants.

10-Day Owners Package: Includes tuition, meals, airport transfers, accommodation, purchase price of a titled Mustang and 4-weeks of additional trianing before it's exported to Germany. Flights to Bozeman, USA not included.
$10,500US $8500US (2025 SPECIAL)

10-Day Liberty Package: Includes tuition, meals, airport transfers and accommodation. Flights to Bozeman, USA not included. $10,500US $4000US (2025 SPECIAL)

"This workshop was not once-in-a-lifetime, but my new standard for truly living. I recommend this workshop to anyone ready to expand their mind, body, and spirit alongside their equine partner and a group of truly amazing humans."

MaryBeth from America submitted such an incredible testimonial earlier this year, which really captured the heart and essence of what we aim to accomplish at GWHA! These workshops have the opportunity to be life changing in more ways than one. She and her handsome mustang Norby developed such a beautiful and special relationship, which ultimately lead to her deciding to adopt him.

The wild horses we'll be taming as part of the New Zealand 21-Day Workshop are being gathered from the Southern Zones of the Kaimanawa Ranges; an area where the horses are generally bigger, with more bling, and more readily accessible. Our New Zealand host Kelly Wilson has been documenting this region for over five years, and has data and photographs on almost every horse likely to be mustered. There are almost 300 horses currently roaming in the region, of which half are likely to be removed from the mountains and offered for rehoming. Historically any excess horses were sent to slaughter, but since 2016 enough homes have been found to ensure every horse has been saved.

At GWHA we're striving to maintain this record, but helping to give these special horses a second change at life and be placed in quality homes.

We are excited to offer a complimentary 3-Day Workshop in Germany (where the Mustangs fly into), for all of our European adopters.

One of our goals at GWHA is to help place Mustangs into both domestic and international homes. The long term success of every Mustang that comes through our program is incredibly important to us, which is why we personally travel to Europe to make sure each horse transitions to their new family as seamlessly as possible.

Photos from the USA of Hannah Catalino doing a demonstration with her Sulphur Mustang team, Ario, Bagheera, and Amadora at our Mustang Workshop.

Hannah first became interested in the Sulphur, Utah HMA because they're known as a more sensitive and reactive type of mustang that are not advised for most first time adopters. The challenge they poised, interested her and in 2017 she adopted Bagheera who impressed her so much with his intelligence and willingness that over the next few years she sought out and worked with nine more Sulphur mustangs.

Bagheera had been roped out of the wild as a yearling and later adopted and semi gentled before he came to Hannah. She fell in love with his sweet and gentle nature which he demonstrated towards other people and animals alike, allowing cats to weave their way between his legs. His only response was a curious drop of his muzzle to further investigate. He also never disappoints with his comical antics, playing fetch with sticks, and often prancing around with a dog toy or feed pan.

Since being started undersaddle in 2020, done a little bit of everything from harness training with stagecoach, to bridleless lead changes and demonstrations, to long riding hundreds of miles through cities and country sides alike. So it's with good reason that Bagheera is one of Hannah's most reliable and trusted members of the team.

Ario and Amadora joined the team in 2022, creating the "Dream Team" by chance rather than design. Both were given to Hannah due to their own unique complicated histories. And it was discovered that this perfectly matched team is not just from their Sulphur origins but through genetic testing it's confirmed that three share some familial relation either through being an uncle / aunt / nephew / niece / or cousin to each other.

"This experience has left me with a clear set of goals I want to achieve with my own horses at liberty. And I believe it has made me more adept to horses body language and movements. It also helped me understand the psychological impact and the process of horses being mustered and trained."

While Grace couldn't keep the Bramble, the sweet little weanling she tamed during our 21-Day Kaimanawa Workshop, they developed a great bond and partnership nonetheless. We are so thrilled to hear that even without keeping her wild horse, she has been able to transfer her knowledge to her own horses at home and also plans to carry it on with every horse she works with in the future.

NEW ZEALAND KAIMANAWA WORKSHOP
29 Apr - 18 May 2025 (AUTUMN)

Embark on an unparalleled journey to work with some of the most authentic wild horses on the planet. This exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime experience is hosted at Kelly Wilson’s purpose-built Wild Kaimanawa Sanctuary, where you’ll not only witness the raw beauty of these iconic horses but also take an active role in transforming their futures.

AUTHENTICITY LIKE NOWHERE ELSE
Unlike anywhere else in the world, New Zealand's wild horses are mustered just days before the workshop begins. This means you’ll be among the first to connect with these magnificent creatures straight from the wild, offering you a rare chance to engage with them in their truest, untouched form. In doing so, you’ll play a vital role in saving these horses, as every horse that isn't rehomed faces an uncertain fate. This workshop is your opportunity to give them a second chance at life, a purpose, and a future with new owners.

WORLD-CLASS TRAINING IN A WORLD-CLASS SETTING
Under the expert guidance of Kelly Wilson and Hannah Catalino, you’ll witness and participate in the art of gentling wild horses using proven, relationship-focused methods. Each day is a masterclass in creating calm, confident horses ready to thrive in their new human partnerships. Watch, learn, and get hands-on as the GWHA team apply their world-leading techniques right before your eyes.

A TRUE NEW ZEALAND ADVENTURE
This trip isn’t just about horses — it’s about experiencing the thrill and beauty of New Zealand, the adventure capital of the world. Take a day off to ride the Rotorua Gondola, enjoying breathtaking views before racing down the Luge in one of the most exhilarating experiences you’ll ever have. And after a full day working with the horses, soak in the healing mineral waters of the Wairakei Terraces Thermal Hot Springs, a rejuvenating way to end your day.

ADOPT OR CHANGE A LIFE
For New Zealand residents, the horses tamed during the workshop will be available for adoption, offering you the chance to take home a piece of this transformative experience. International clients can still make a meaningful impact by gentling a wild horse that will later be adopted, with a special 7-Day Owners Workshop designed for the adopter to meet their new companion before taking it home.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
A maximum of five participants per trainer will be selected to take part.

The dates are subject to change, based on the Kaimanawa Horse Muster (typically around 25 April).

All-Inclusive Package (ideal for international clients): Includes tuition, meals, airport transfers, activities, and accommodation. Flights to Taupo, NZ not included.
$10,000 USD $7500 USD (2025 Special)

Self-Camping Package (for domestic clients only): Includes tuition, meals, activities, and self-camping.

$8,500 USD $6000 USD (2025 Special)

This is more than a workshop — it’s a chance to make an extraordinary difference in the lives of wild horses while experiencing the unrivaled beauty and adventure of New Zealand. Whether you’re a seasoned trainer or a passionate horse lover, this trip will leave you with unforgettable memories, new skills, and the satisfaction of having changed lives — both horse and human.

One of many great transformations from our workshops last years, was with Katie and her Kaimanawa c**t, Major.

While we could recognise his brilliant potential from the moment he arrived in the yards, he quickly fell behind all the other Kaimanawa horses in our group and was the last of 13 horses to accept the touch and haltering milestones. We had to get very creative to help him build his confidence to reach these important milestones.

Although he trailed behind the group in the first 18 days, once everything clicked he quickly progressed and surpassed to the others. His owner, 12-year-old Katie, was able to take him home after just 4-weeks and continued his training by herself. With a few lessons with Kelly in August and September, this amazing duo went on to win the Kaimanawa Legacy Juniors & Juveniles competition at Equifest!

This won't be the last we will see of this amazing duo. Katie's hope is he start him under saddle over the next year and produce him as one of her competition ponies. We are confident that Major will continue to be an incredible ambassador for Kaimanawa horses in New Zealand.

This year thanks to our amazing connections with friends in Europe, we have decided to offer a new European format to help make it more possible for adopters to have the opportunity to not only work with mustangs but also take them home should they chose to.

Participants have the option to either work with a semi wild mustang, learning liberty basics and advanced skills or start from scratch with an untouched mustang they intend to adopt and import. Additional training to ensure a smooth flight and transition are included in the adoption package.

Kelly and Hannah met back in 2015 at an Extreme Mustang Makeover that they were both participating in. From learning more about Kelly and her sisters and their work with Kaimanawas, Hannah became fascinated with the alluring idea of taming a wild stallion in the distant land of New Zealand.

When Kelly announced a Kaimanawa taming workshop in 2018, Hannah reached out to see if it might be possible for her to travel there and tame a stallion for someone else. With the added challenges a wild stallion brings, it was decided that she should tame two stallions and that she should spend an extended time of six weeks.

Although beginning as only a participant, Kelly was impressed with Hannah's style enough to ask her to help mentor the entire group. In doing so Kelly realised she wanted to learn more than just her methods with wild horses but also her liberty advancement beyond the basics. So she later that year she invited Hannah back to her place to learn more about the development and training with her own horses.

Over the years their friendship only grew and Kelly also extended an invitation for Hannah to join her on some of her expeditions studying wild horses in multiple countries for her Wild Horses of the World book research. Kelly has become a huge inspiration for Hannah not just in her horsemanship, love for adventure, but also a mentor for her own aspiring author goals.

In 2023 they decided to launch a dream close to both their hearts of sharing their love for wild horses, adventure, and ethical horse training through the creation of the Global Wild Horsemanship Adventures. The first year was a trial year where they both decided to mentor each other on training techniques in each of their home countries to refine techniques and ensure the possibility of a congruent program.

After the grand success of their trial year which cultivated much learning and growth, as 2025 approaches they both would like to officially kickstart this very unique business collaboration. So often industry leaders especially in the horse world, divide themselves from their competition which sadly not only limits what they can do alone and but also puts limits on their students. They hope to inspire others to find likeminded individuals who hold similar values so that the horse community can continue to evolve and grow stronger.

Kelly and Hannah's business partnership while offering unique perspectives and styles for both also share a similar baseline ideaology when working with horses thanks to their many years studying under one another. Together they can reach more people across the globe and in turn help more wild horses around the world.

"Being able to get a Kaimanawa, especially a wild one has been a dream come true. It was amazing being able to work with Kelly and Hannah on this Journey. They were both so kind and knowledgeable."

Grace from our Kaimanawa Workshop in New Zealand share this sweet testimonial with us. She adopted Lexus, an Argo Valley c**t whom was gentled by an international participant. Grace joined our 7-day owners workshop, then continued training her Kaimanawa over the last few months in preparation for the Kaimanawa Legacy Foundation competition at Equifest.

Until adopted, mustangs gathered off the range generally have two options.

Ones that are deemed adoptable are processed and put into short term holding so that can more easily be offered up for approved public adoptions. Which usually means they are kept in dry lots with large numbers of horses of similar gender and age, sometimes for many years. This is the most expensive way for the horses to be held for taxpayers since they only can only eat hay. However with the chance of adoption into a private home, currently the most practical way to make that possible.

When a mustang goes into long term holding, their identification neck tags are removed and replaced with a hip freeze brand. While they are no longer eligible for adoption, they do get to roam and graze in large groups with horses of the same gender on ranch land which the government pays private land owners to lease for the duration of the horses life.

As of 2024 it's estimated that over 70,000 free roaming and federally protected wild horses and burros are still on public lands. Meanwhile an estimated 66,000 mustangs have been rounded up and are currently either in short term holding corrals waiting to be adopted, or in off-range pastures, also known as long term holding.

While various programs have helped adoptions rise in the last decade, they are no where near where they need to be to get every mustang adopted or into a sanctuary situation. Our mission at GWHA is to help give these horses who have already been removed from public lands and never have a chance to be free again, receive proper care and training before they get placed into a loving home.

From wild to mild, the Kaimanawa horses would top the list as the wildest and most authentic horses to tame world wide, arriving straight from the helicopter musters just days before our New Zealand Workshop begins! Unlike the Kaimanawahorses, the Australian Brumbies and American Mustangs have a transition time between being gathered and tamed.

Manawa’s skillset grew in leaps and bounds during our three week Mustang Training Workshop! He was given the challenging job of working with Moana and Clyde, two very sensitive Mustangs who were mustered just six months prior. With Manawas patience they both finishing with some amazing progress over the three weeks ☺️

Our final week with the once wild Mustangs was a busy one and we couldn't be prouder of the horse's progress and of the clients too! What an amazing bunch of humans and horses. We feel so fortunate to have worked with you all, and can't wait to follow your progress in the years to come.

It’s always an honour to witness wild horses out on the ranges 🇺🇸

Week two is complete and what a big week it has been! We have had so many case studies to work through and have loved the amazing learning experiences. Now we are on to our final week and we can't wait to tick off our final milestones before our clients go home 😊

Week one of our Wild Horse Taming workshop has finished, with all of our horses and clients making huge progress!

Cora and Millie are such a dream team! Millie has had her guard up in her work, but with Cora’s help she’s really letting down and softening those walls.

Pryor Mountains

As a part of our American tour, we got to spend a few days up in the Mountains of Montana, observing Mustangs in their natural state! 🇺🇸 This was such a good oppurtunity for the clients to see authentic wild horse behaviour, and how they communicate and function within their bands.
