My Philosophy

A good relationship between humans and horses is built on mutual trust, understanding and respect. I am convinced that a gentle, respectful approach is the key to a deep and trusting relationship. For over 40 years, I have interacted with horses in this way, deliberately fostering a respectful and appreciative connection. I see horses as sensitive beings who need harmony and who will trustingly follow a compassionate partner by their side because their needs and concerns are understood and acknowledged.

Horses are highly attuned to a person’s inner state and constantly respond to it. With patience, a postive attitude, and a clear yet gentle communication, significant progress can be made, which strengthens the trust between human and horse in a lasting way.

My Services

Seat Training

In seating training sessions, we analyze the position needed for a balanced seat and explore the optimal balance between mobility and stability in your body, helping you develop a functional and adaptive seat.

We deepen your understanding of seat, leg, and rein aids, integrating this new awareness into motion to foster a harmonious dialogue with your horse.

Riding Lessons

My lessons include targeted guidance and explanations, personalized seat training, as well as exercises for body awareness and visualization to enable the most refined aids and communication.

Together, we explore inner imagery tailored to you, making implementation easier, while focusing deeply on the horse's biomechanics and the resulting correct application of aids.

Horse Training

My primary focus is on carefully developing and consistently maintaining rhythm and relaxation. Building on this foundation, we establish genuine contact, created by the horse rather than the rider’s hand.

This approach allows your horse to develop a healthy movement pattern, promoting the proper muscle development needed to carry you in a sound and balanced manner.

Groundwork

Groundwork is an essential foundation and should be an integral part of every horse’s training. It allows us to introduce basic aids to the horse from the ground while establishing healthy movement patterns and body awareness.

I am happy to support you in developing the basics for working in-hand, lunging, and learning coordination exercises, helping your horse develop a healthy and balanced movement sequence.

Building Trust

Together, we create varied obstacle courses:
From working with a teeter board to training on pedestals and poles, as well as exercises on unstable surfaces like the IKEA Pulvsig mat.

This training strengthens the deep muscles, enhances sensory awareness, and simultaneously builds your horse's confidence and self-assurance.

Video Analysis

I’m also happy to support you online through video analysis. You send me a riding video, and I provide you with valuable feedback and detailed guidance for improvement via voice message.

This is an ideal way to supplement your lessons, helping to reinforce and further develop what you’ve learned.

You’ll enhance both your observational skills and body awareness.

What sets me apart?

Do you sometimes feel unsure about which aids to use with your horse and how to apply them effectively? Are you looking for an instructor who not only welcomes questions but actively encourages a two-way conversation, helping you grasp the bigger picture? Would you like someone by your side who shows you how to sit balanced on the horse, enabling a harmonious dialogue with it?

Then you’ve come to the right place!

After an initial analysis, we’ll tackle all key topics together, step-by-step, so riding feels light again—and you’ll dismount with a smile.

My goal is for you to make progress quickly, even without my presence, because you’ve understood the connections and developed the right feeling for both yourself and your horse.

I’m happy to also offer lessons in English for non-German-speaking riders.

About me

In addition to my expertise as a certified Rideucation Trainer, I am distinguished by my empathy and sensitivity for both horse and rider. I have a keen sense of my counterpart’s emotional state and bring calmness and patience to every session, allowing horse and human to feel safe and understood.

My insatiable curiosity has driven me to complete numerous seminars, webinars, and online courses with renowned trainers, as well as to immerse myself in extensive literature, continuously expanding my knowledge. I am always seeking new approaches and methods to support my students as effectively as possible.

My goal is to foster a sustainable and trusting partnership between horse and rider, built on understanding and mutual respect, which contributes to the horse’s well-being and health.

Useful Information

Teaching Equipment

For my seat training sessions, I am happy to provide a gym ball or a wooden horse.

In sensory training, I use an Ikea Pulsvig mat, which works perfectly for targeted exercises.

A small seesaw is currently being planned and will soon expand my range of equipment.

Mobile Riding Lessons

I offer mobile riding lessons in the Hofheim am Taunus area. My service area covers stables located 15 kilometers away.

If your stable is located a bit outside of this range, feel free to reach out – we will certainly find an individual solution!

Lesson Details

A lesson varies and lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, as I like to tailor the session to your individual needs.

The first meeting is especially important as it will be used to assess your current status and needs. I am pleased to invest 30 minutes more free of charge.
