Ursula Wimmer

Ursula Wimmer is an Austria-based equestrian trainer and educator working primarily in the field of classical riding, biomechanics-based horsemanship, and horse movement education. She is associated with training concepts that focus on improving the horse’s natural balance, relaxation, and correct movement patterns through groundwork, lunging, and ridden work.

She is known for her involvement in educational and online learning formats under the concept “Tanzpartner Pferd” (Dancing Partner Horse), where she explores the horse’s movement biomechanics, particularly spinal mobility and healthy locomotion patterns. Her teaching often emphasizes understanding how the horse’s body works functionally and how riders can influence movement through clearer, more body-aware communication.

Ursula Wimmer has also been involved in equine welfare and rehabilitation-oriented projects, working with horses that require physical or behavioral re-education. Her approach typically integrates groundwork, balance training, and rider awareness to support long-term soundness and improved cooperation between horse and rider.

She has a background in classical riding education and has been influenced by multiple schools of horsemanship, with a strong focus on biomechanics, rider seat influence, and horse-centered training methods.
