Welcome
About the Online Academy
The Sky Is Not The Limit
The Sky Is Not The Limit Online Academy was established by Mirka Crew in 2023 in efforts to provide her students with easy access to virtual horsemanship education from anywhere in the World.
There are currently three platforms of virtual studies available:
The Sky Is Not the Limit Membership started in 2016 as a social Facebook group of horse training videos. Over the years, hundreds of videos of horses in different stages of training were added along with Guides for students who like to search by topic and an organized MEMBERSHIP LIBRARY which is available on this website.
The Online Courses were created for students who either wish to attend a clinic, but are unable to, or for those who are looking for continuing their education after attending Mirka's clinic. The content is divided into THEORY and PRACTICE. The theoretical Foundation Course, Modules 1-5, sets the students' mindset for successful sessions with their horse. The practical Online Courses give you access to;
* professionally video taped instructions with excellent audio quality
* 5 Levels
*step-by-step format
*checklist
*assessment
*certificate upon completion
*questions answered by Mirka
* community of students with similar interests
The Groups are an important part of the Online Courses here on the website (without the need to be a part of any social media group). The Groups are a very useful platform for our Online Academy students where they get to know each other virtually, support and encourage each other, ask Mirka questions, share their progress, highlights, the aha moments and much more. It's a lot about the journey and having the added community support is very important.

The Benefits of the Online Academy
*Study from anywhere in the World! You just need access to the internet and have an electronic device which will play videos.
*Improve the quality of your partnership with your horse through clarity, understanding, connection, responsiveness, relaxation and balance/posture.
*Learn new techniques and maneuvers through a step-by-step program of small isolations at your and your horse's level.
*Learn a nice balance between positive and negative reinforcement while working with your horse.
*Feeling stuck? Whether it's due to your mindset (fear, lack of confidence, afraid to make mistakes, worrying about what others think, feeling like you aren't talented enough or good enough,...) or you aren't sure how to go to the next level, this is the right place to get help!
