Training philosophy / method

Chiara Lischka’s approach is strongly influenced by biotensegral and fascia-oriented training principles, focusing on the horse as a whole system:

Emphasis on “spannung aufbauen statt verspannen” (creating functional tension instead of tension/brace)

Strong focus on physical and mental balance in the horse

Uses groundwork, in-hand work, and progressive ridden work as one integrated system

Prioritizes clear communication, relaxation, and understanding of pressure

Works heavily in rehabilitation and behavioral/training problem solving

Encourages riders to develop awareness, timing, and feel rather than force-based training

Integrates mental wellbeing and stress reduction for both horse and rider

Coaching & work

Runs private training, full rehabilitation packages, and intensive re-training programs

Offers 5x weekly training programs for horses in full care

Works with horses that may have:

Physical dysfunction (e.g., myofascial issues, tension patterns)

Behavioral issues (fear, resistance, aggression)

Training setbacks or improper foundations

Provides structured rehabilitation planning in cooperation with vets, farriers, and therapists

Offers clinics, courses, and educational workshops (including tensegral training seminars)
