SOME OF OUR REVIEWS:

hey there!

I'm Diana Waters

CREATOR OF FOUNDER OF THE POWER OF WALK

It was 25 years ago when I first used slow walk work to school my Icelandic horse, Svalur. Since then, I’ve become deeply passionate about its benefits, going deeper into its use as the magnificent ‘School Walk’ in French classical work and using it with every horse I work with, witnessing truly transformative changes in the process.

The work is has kindness at is heart and is completely free of pushing and force and the end results are not only magical in terms of the horse's physical body but in terms of the horse's happiness and connection with their human.

I am passionate about sharing my knowledge with horse owners around the world and I have created the Power of Walk course. The course leaves nothing out, sharing all of my insights and practical skills to help you make meaningful changes with your own horse. In addition to detailed online videos and downloadable resources, the course includes seven live interactive sessions where students can deepen their understanding. You’ll also gain access to a private study group for personalized feedback and advice on your own videos.

The course ran for the first time in 2024, and I’m thrilled that many students experienced truly remarkable, almost magical, transformations. I look forward to working with you and your horse in my 2025 intake, should you choose to join.

It's amazing how he is freeing up and becoming more forward

I would never have thought  a walking program would make such a difference! My horse has developed a beautiful free walk. My horse is enjoying his work now I can see it in his expression! I am happy that at last I feel progress and everything is getting better. He is starting to round up now and look so beautiful and proud. My horse seemed lazy and slow- but it's amazing how he is freeing up and becoming forward. So delighted I can post short videos on the community page and get great feedback from Diana.

How the magic of slow walk work can impact your horse

Exact results vary from horse to horse but here's an overview of the kind of changes you may see.

Strengthen muscles and improve posture.

Build muscles that will allow your horse to lift the forehand, lift and straighten their back and carry a rider more efficiently.

Transform how your horse moves.

Watch as your horse begins to show an increased desire to move forward and with smoother, bigger strides, and an increased range of movement.

Develop balance and self carriage

Teach your horse to become responsible for their own self-carriage, allowing them to  move easily without pushing, pulling and holding from their rider.

Identify and correct misalignment

Identify crookedness and learn how  to straighten your horse so that you find yourself sitting more in the middle and the horse is able to move evenly on both reins.

Deepen your connection.

Experience a deeper two-way connection where you truly understand what your horse is telling you and are able to communicate with more subtlety.

Feel good about knowing you are doing the best for your horse.

SLOW WALK WORK OFFERS A KIND WAY OF WORKING WITH YOUR HORSE, FREE OF PUSHING AND FORCE. 

A new way of working together  

 

From the disappointment of quick fixes to lasting long term change.

We often move from one method to another, disappointed when results fall short. By embracing slow walk work, you embrace a new way of working with your horse, offering profound, lasting change

From constantly searching for advice to listening to your horse and trusting your own judgment.

We’re bombarded with advice, making it hard to know who to listen to. Part of this course involves understanding your horse’s language and learning that you’re the best person to know what’s right for them.

From always pushing on to slowing down and watching positive changes unfold.

We’ve all been there, taught from a young age ‘no pain no gain’ and that ‘lazy’ horses need to be shown who’s boss. This course turns this idea on its head and the results are beautiful.
