I am training you and your horses - Whether you’re preparing a show‑jumper, polishing a dressage prospect or simply keeping a leisure horse happy.
Let's improve your seat, aids, balance and confidence. Lessons are offered in English and German / Deutsch. G'day, I am new in Brisbane and originally from Germany. During school and later in my studies I worked with professional horse trainers and sport horses in the Netherlands and Germany. Throughout my equestrian career, I have had the privilege of learning the basics of horse training. This j
Follow me on Freddy's journey to become a dressage horse.
Use in hand groundwork with horses as warmup, to see if your horse is jumpy or calm from the ground and simply build a relationship and switch up your training routine.
Contact me for lessons.
First novice test complete! 🎉 Despite all the challenges leading up to it - loneliness, weather, soreness - we tried to be brave and still scored 59.4%. So proud of Fred for not giving up, even when terrified at the other end of the arena.

Please always check before buying a helmet and ask for tagging, also if you don't compete. It makes it easier for coaches to see if you and I are within the rules and regulations. Happy riding 🐴🦄🐴

I wrote my own test to nail the EA Level 1 Coach requirements! 📝✨
Here's a custom Novice test ride + my voice-over analysis of what went right and what went wrong... mainly what didn't go so well.
Disclaimer: Fred just had an injury and this was our second ride back, but between ride 1 and 2 we had 2 days and nights of rain, so I expected him to be imperfect. Which is great to uncover things that can go wrong.
Drop a 🐎 if you love deep-dive training videos!

Lateral movement hack: Forward is key! 🔑
1️⃣ Start with just a few steps
2️⃣ Use the circle to your advantage and let that natural momentum carry you sideways.
3️⃣ Soften the outside leg and drive with the inside leg
4️⃣ Reset if the horse gets stuck, stiff or overly bent / flexed
🐎✨ Just remember: Step forward, step sideways. Repeat. 🔄 Quality over quantity, always. 🛑🚫
Why ride on the second track? 🐴
I challenge you to send me a video of you riding on the second track.
Are you sitting evenly?Are you using your aids evenly on both sides? Is your horse straight?
It's an easy check whether your horse is drifting, unbalanced or simply not straight.
Can your horse stay on the second track without wanting to get to the outside? It's a fantastic exercise to use both sides of your body evenly, left and right leg and rein aids as well as your body position centered.
By the way, this is what I see when I coach virtually - I can still see it all.
Challenge accepted?
