*** Training & Breeding of All Around Horses by Nina Obermüller Trainer A and APHA & DQHA Professio

18/09/2026

German Open 2027. ◼️🟥🟨
I went there with some really great horses, a completely normal amount of 🧳 luggage, approximately 847 things in my head at the same time — and apparently came home with a „Golden Reitabzeichen“ 🏅💛

Which is still a slightly strange sentence to write.
Because while the actual award takes only a few minutes, the 🛣️ road to it is made of a ridiculous number of rides, horses, mistakes, good decisions, questionable decisions, show mornings that started far too early, students, customers, friends — and probably several thousand kilometres on German „Autobahnen“.

And that is why this one doesn’t really feel like a „me“ thing. It feels much more like a WE thing. 🙌🏻

First of all: a huge THANK YOU to my customers. 👏🏻🫶🏼
For trusting me with your horses. For letting me train them, show them, try things, change things, occasionally say „give me a second, I have an idea“ — which, as everyone around me knows, can be either very reassuring or mildly terrifying.
Thank you for that trust. Really.☝🏻😁

Then there is Sebastian.❤️
Who somehow managed to secretly organize video footage 📼 of the award ceremony without me knowing. So thank you, Amore, for making sure I actually have moving pictures of a moment I probably would otherwise have experienced once and then stored somewhere in the back of my ADHD brain between „buy carrots“ and „where did I put that measuring stick“.

And Corrie. 📸
Thank you for looking through a camera at all of this so beautifully. For the pictures, the moments and for somehow always knowing when to press the button.

And Lotte. 🫵🏻
Simply because you are Lotte. Because you somehow always get the joke, survive the chaos, join the nonsense and at the same time are one of those people who quietly make the whole thing better just by being part of it.

And then there are the people you don’t see in this Reel.
Susanne. My mom. And everyone who stayed at home and kept everything running.

So yes. German Open 2027. Would do it again. 🤍🐴

🇩🇪 Ich bekam die Frage: „Warum macht mein Pferd das?“

Und die Antwort ist ziemlich oft:
Weil Bewegung nicht einfach irgendwo entsteht. Sie hängt mit Anatomie, Körperbau, Balance und Training zusammen.

Genau deshalb habe ich ein kleines Quiz gebaut. 🐴
Ein paar Fragen – und du bekommst einen ersten Hinweis darauf, wo du bei deinem Pferd genauer hinschauen könntest.

👉 Schreib QUIZ in die Kommentare und ich schicke dir den Link direkt zu.

Und ja. Natürlich musste aus einem kleinen Quiz vorher erst wieder ein völlig unangemessen aufwendiges Reel werden. 😂

🇬🇧 I got the question: “Why does my horse do that?”

And quite often, the answer is:
Because movement doesn’t just happen randomly. It is connected to anatomy, conformation, balance and training.

That’s exactly why I created a little quiz. 🐴
Answer a few questions and get a first idea of where it might be worth taking a closer look at your horse.

👉 Comment QUIZ below and I’ll send you the link directly.

And yes. Of course, a small quiz somehow required a completely unnecessarily elaborate Reel first. 😂

☝🏻 Ich wollte schon immer mal einen Film im Wes-Anderson-Stil machen. 📽️
Offenbar habe ich jetzt einen über Pferdeanatomie gemacht. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Was im Nachhinein erstaunlich passend erscheint.
Ich mag Symmetrie. Ich schaue gerne genau hin. Und ich habe ein leicht unangemessen großes Bedürfnis zu verstehen, warum die Dinge so sind, wie sie sind.

Vor allem bei Pferden.

Warum fällt eine Bewegung dem einen Pferd leicht und einem anderen schwer?
Und irgendwo zwischen Pastellfarben, verdächtig präzisen Bildkompositionen, Sebastian, der uns seit 1984 durch fragwürdige Berghotels chauffiert, und einer winzigen APE ist dieser kleine Film zu einer ziemlich guten Zusammenfassung dessen geworden, was ich mache:

Genauer hinschauen. Das Pferd verstehen. Und von dort aus trainieren.
Was sagt uns der Körperbau eigentlich wirklich?
Und was verändert sich, wenn wir aufhören zu sagen „der bewegt sich halt so“ und stattdessen anfangen hinzuschauen, was tatsächlich dahintersteckt?

Und weil du nicht gleich mit mehreren Stunden Biomechanik anfangen musst, habe ich etwas deutlich Kleineres für dich:

Den kostenlosen 10-Minuten Horse Body Check. 🐴

Ein einfacher Guide, mit dem du dein eigenes Pferd einmal etwas anders betrachten kannst – vom Gesamtbild über den Körperbau bis hin zur Bewegung.

Kommentiere BODYCHECK und ich schicke ihn dir direkt zu. 👀

Und falls du nach diesen zehn Minuten deutlich mehr Fragen hast als vorher -
ausgezeichnet. Im Grunde bin ich genau so hier gelandet.

Mein nächstes Seminar Funktionelle Anatomie & Lineare Beschreibung findet statt am:

📍 07. November 2026 — Allensbach-Langenrain

Weitere Kursinfos gibt’s bei der DQHA

Bis dahin: Fang mit deinem eigenen Pferd an.
Zehn Minuten. Genauer hinschauen. Mehr sehen.

☝🏻I always wanted to make a Wes Anderson-like-movie 📽️
�Apparently, I made one about horse anatomy. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Which, in hindsight, feels surprisingly accurate.
I like symmetry. I like looking closely. And I have a slightly unreasonable need to understand why things are the way they are.

Especially with horses.

Why is one movement easy for one horse and difficult for another?

So somewhere between pastel colours, suspiciously precise framing, Sebastian driving us around questionable mountain hotels since 1984 and a tiny APE, this little film became a pretty good summary of what I do:

Look closer. Understand the horse. Train from there.
�What does conformation actually tell us?�And what changes when we stop saying “that’s just how he moves” and start looking at what is actually underneath?

And because you don’t need to start with several hours of biomechanics, I made you something much smaller:

The free 10-Minute Horse Body Check. 🐴

A simple guide to help you look at your own horse a little differently – from the overall picture to conformation and movement.

Comment BODYCHECK and I’ll send it to you. 👀

And if those ten minutes leave you with considerably more questions than before:�excellent. That’s basically how I ended up here.

My next Functional Anatomy & Linear Description seminars are:

📍 07 November 2026 — Allensbach-Langenrain�
More course details via DQHA Germany

Until then: start with your horse.�Ten minutes. Look closer. See more.

You plan a small, aesthetic foal video and somehow end up with a drone in a (very tall) tree 🌳. So basically: a completely normal content creation process by ME 🫩

Wilma delivered.
Nature filmed along.
The drone decided to stay upstairs.

Some of the best clips are therefore still hanging up there, including the technology, while we continue the search. Should we ever manage to rescue it in triumph, this story will of course continue here.☝🏻
Until then: big cinema, small loss of control — and condolences for the drone ☠️⚰️ are very welcome in the comments.

„120 hours at the VWB Spring Classic 2026“ — which sounds either like a spiritual retreat or a very specific kind of endurance test.

After almost three years of tournament abstinence, „Manni“ and I finally made our way back onto that illustrious parquet. And yes, it felt exactly as dramatic as it sounds. A comeback, but without the heroic soundtrack 🎧 — more like slightly creaky joints and a lot of emotional baggage.

🦄 „Manni“ is noticeably whiter now. I, on the other hand, have gone a distinguished shade of grey.
And yet: the absurd, stubborn, completely irrational amount of joy is still there. The kind that makes you forget time, sleep, and occasionally your dignity.

It wasn’t just a return. It was a small, chaotic, wonderful celebration.
Some things change. The best things don’t.

And a big thank you to the man at home , who held down the fort and got the farm ready for spring while we were out here chasing moments like these.

I spent an unreasonable amount of hours animating this vinyl record and creating this song.

Which, for the record, was made with AI.�Not because I’m lazy.�But because absolutely no one wants to hear me 😵‍💫sing.

The song is called “Velvet Galaxies.” 🪐✨

And yes, it’s also a little terrifying
how good AI is getting at this.

Like… genuinely impressive.
And mildly unsettling.

I’m still figuring out how I feel about that.

But for now it helped me do something
I couldn’t have done otherwise:

Make a song
for someone who apparently deserves
his own soundtrack.

So yes.
I made him one.
�Because sometimes a person enters your life and suddenly everything feels�a little more cinematic.

Happy birthday, Amore.
Some people get flowers.�You get galaxies. 🖤

🎄Weihnachten 🎄— diese kollektive ⏸️ Pause-Taste zwischen Jahresend-Erschöpfung und leichtem Zuckerkoma. 🍬🍫🍭
Der perfekte Moment also, um Danke zu sagen. Richtig. Ohne Agenda. Einfach ehrlich. ❤️

🙏🏻 Danke an meine Kunden, Freunde und alle, die mich dieses Jahr begleitet haben — für euer Vertrauen, eure Geduld, eure Offenheit, die Gespräche, das Chaos und dieses Gefühl, dass wir dieses Jahr irgendwie gemeinsam hinbekommen haben. Ich nehme nichts davon als selbstverständlich. Wirklich nicht.

Und an alle, denen ich auch dieses Jahr wieder keine Weihnachtskarte geschrieben habe — weil ich einfach viel zu beschäftigt damit war, Pferde zu reiten:
Ich habe euch nicht vergessen. Wirklich nicht. Ich denke oft an euch.
Dieser Post ist für euch. 🫵🏻🫶🏼

Und weil Traditionen wichtig sind, gerade dann, wenn sonst alles optional wirkt:
Ja, heute ist wieder Waffelfete. 🧇
Die legendäre.
Die berüchtigte.
Die, über die man nicht lange nachdenkt — man kommt entweder vorbei oder hört später davon.

Wer vorbeikommen möchte: Ihr wisst, wo.
Wer nicht: Die Geschichte geht auch ohne euch weiter.

Frohe Weihnachten. 🤍

🎙️Imagine spending 45 minutes just trying to convince the recording software that, yes, we do exist — and then somehow ending up with one very long episode. Not the ‘oh god when will it end’ kind of long, but the ‘wait, how did two people talk for hours about horse breeding evaluations and still make it fun?’ kind of long. 🎤🐴

Somewhere in between, there was cheese dripping down my face, a pizza on my head (don’t ask, it’s called ~art direction~), and us turning something as bureaucratic as linear descriptions of horses into actual entertainment.
Moral of the story? Podcasting is basically like a breeding inspection: it takes forever, it gets messy, but in the end… totally worth it. 🧀🍕

A massive thank you to from Quarter Horse Breeders Talk for inviting me — my favorite podcast counterpart, even when she has to watch me drown in mozzarella. 🤪 Because honestly, I love surrounding myself with creative people who share the same wild passion for Quarter Horses. That’s where the real fun (and the good conversations) begin.

Guys, hold on tight: The Foal-Strudel is created.🦄🦄🦄

Saturday in Münster – 14 foals on the triangle arena at the same time. Goosebumps, teary eyes and probably a brand-new word for the Oxford Dictionary 2026 👉🏻 the Foal-Strudel.

The past days were basically:
• camera 📷 and laptop 👩🏼‍💻 constantly at 5%,
• way too much Wh***ey 🥃 and 🍸other stuff,
• and lack of sleep 🥱💤

But it was worth every second. The “little ones” blew us away, the “grown-ups” did too, and in the end the whole thing felt like a damn good festival. 🥳

And honestly, the best part: thanks to the DQHA, I get to work with the most amazing people. Our breeding team gave everything: Christina – absolute machine! Susanne – judging the performance test AND preparing the SSA like a champ. Vera – queen of the catalogue and our Insta-Karla-Kolumna – content level 💯! Sebastian – holding the championship together like a pro. Michael , Kirsten & I – bravely ranking all those horses 🙈. And Ronja & Christine – finding the right words and keeping our little circus 🎪 together.
