About The Horsemen Collective

The Horsemen Collective is a community built by horse people, for horse people. We film respected trainers working with real horses and add those sessions to a constantly growing library you can download and watch anywhere, even without reception. A single membership unlocks every lesson and connects you with a welcoming space where you can ask questions, swap stories and improve together.

We also give back, dedicating 25 percent of our profits to charities that support horses, the environment and young riders. Sharpen your skills, meet like-minded riders and know your learning makes a real difference.

The Horsemen Collective was created by Lucie and Clay to showcase the horsemen and women they trust for their own advice and training, not to become just another online video library. The platform brings those trusted voices into one place, giving members a growing collection of filmed lessons they can download and revisit whenever they need a refresher.

It will never replace hands-on learning in the arena or on the trail; instead, it sits alongside clinics, books and local mentors as an extra source of clear, practical guidance.

Lucie Durant

Lucie Durant, co-founder of The Horsemen Collective, brings a unique perspective to the equestrian world. Born in France, Lucie was immersed in the modern dressage scene from a young age.

Whether she's engaged in intricate in-hand work or moving cows with equal enthusiasm, Lucie's dedication to her craft is unwavering. Her love for horses transcends disciplines, and she is committed to exploring every facet of horsemanship.

With her background in design and her profound understanding of horsemanship, Lucie co-founded The Horsemen Collective to create a platform where riders can come together to share their passion, knowledge, and experiences.
