During my lessons the well-being of the horse always comes first. We believe that a horse can only truly grow — in sport and in partnership — when it feels physically comfortable and mentally well.

My focus is not on which high level exercise your horse can do. If he does it with tension, it has no point. If you are looking for an instructor who can help you with starting from a really good basic, if you yourself can or want to enjoy the 'centaur' feeling, where you can ride the most 'simple' exercises but with such ease and without tension... We could be a match ;).

I start from that basic 'centaur' feeling, where you can ride circles, serpentines, transitions,... without tension or pressure. And from that basic, we continue to more difficult exercices like side movements, passage, piaffe, canter changes,...

Young horses who are started under the saddle or more advanced horses who can benefit from more refined work, you are most welcome!
