Where connection fuels performance, and partnership becomes art.
Driven by ambition and built on purpose, the Connection Academy is a home for intentional training, creative expression, and meaningful partnership between horse and human.
Our Approach
Built on the partnership of Brendan Wise and Kaleigh Marie, The Connection Academy blends ridden performance and liberty work through a shared commitment to connection-first horsemanship. Curiosity and collaboration guide our work — between horse and human, and within our community. Our approach is simple, intentional, and centered on the experience of our students and their equine partners. We believe meaningful progress comes from clear steps, honest communication, and partnership built on trust.
