Focus on healthy riding and movement

Our most popular course translated into english! 🇬🇧

A seminar for anyone interested in proven healthy riding. Together with equine physiotherapist Chris Debski (www.pferde-gesund-bewegen.de – known for his online course on equine anatomy and biomechanics), we show and explain step by step how well-thought-out aids, lessons, and goals affect the well-being and performance of riding horses.

For us the knowledge distributed in the several modules, forms the basis for working with horses. It shows how horses function and how they don't—what important insights anatomy and biomechanics can give us and where they show us where we as riders are on the wrong track - regardless what riding instruction might say - anatomy needs to prove the idea how to train a horse.

The course was originally recorded entirely in German in Germany – thanks to the advanced possibilities that AI offers us today, we have ventured into this project and are now releasing it with english sound and subtitles.

What you can expect from the seminar:

  • Many hours of video material with lots of practical tips
  • In-depth theory on the topic with detailed explanations
  • Valuable knowledge about horse anatomy and biomechanics
  • Unlimited access after registration

What attendees of this seminar say:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Really great! You learn a lot here. I'm glad I took this course. I wish this knowledge were taught in riding schools!”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"A must for every rider who wants to understand honest riding and really ride their horse in a healthy way.
Great videos that teach correct riding and don't promote riding that damages the horse. Very clearly explained using the video material.
Thank you for this great course.“

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
”Soooo important! I wish I had received riding training in this sense!"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“The course is great. The 3D graphics and explanations allow you to visualize everything and gain a better understanding of the horse's anatomy and movement patterns. This has helped me a lot with my horse, who suffers from slight fatigue.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“A very comprehensive seminar in which everything is explained excellently. Very varied structure, perfect and very helpful.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Thank you for the countless eye-opening experiences! I finally understood many biomechanical relationships in riding that were not so clear to me before. Why should a horse move in a certain way, what happens in the horse's body, and how can I communicate this to the horse? It finally feels like I can really train my horse, help it, and not just “move” it. It's also great that you can watch the videos again and again. This allows you to gradually grasp complex issues."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Simply brilliant! Thank you for allowing my “house of cards” of riding theory to collapse! I now know which path I will take. This seminar is clear and very easy to understand. Now every competitive rider and master of rollkur needs to realize what they are doing to their beloved horses."

I would like to thank everyone involved. I will continue and definitely attend a live seminar at some point. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
