Alexandra Kurland


Alexandra Kurland has built her life around horses. She is a graduate of Cornell University where she specialized in animal behavior. Alexandra began teaching in the early 1980s. Her area of particular interest is the development of a horse’s balance: physical and emotional. Helping horses stay sound throughout a long lifetime is the goal. The results are beautiful horses that feel like heaven to ride.

In 1998, Alexandra launched the rapidly growing field of clicker training for horses with the publication of her first book, Clicker Training for Your Horse. Pre-pandemic Alexandra traveled widely, teaching at clinics and conferences. In 2020, she switched to teaching on Zoom and discovered that this medium is a great way to help people with their horses.

Alexandra has written The Click That Teaches: A Step–By–Step Guide in Pictures and has also produced The Click That Teaches: Riding with the ClickerShe has also produced The Click That Teaches DVD lesson series, and an online training course. People outside the horse community may know her best through her weekly Equiosity podcast.
