Auf Trab in Berlin

In this respect, " Auf Trab " should symbolize a holistic development. A standstill and staying in old patterns prevents the rider from being able to give fine help, only an expanded perspective enables this. " Keeping on your toes " also means providing for developments and changes, getting / maintaining a healthy physical fitness, not considering the relationship between man and horse as given, but trying to ensure positive and varied experiences and always reflecting on your own actions before to punish the horse for behavior. My riding lessons cannot be described as classic "FN-oriented" lessons, the focus is much more on the respective rider-horse pairs. We work individually on the respective needs and problems, and use targeted resources and skills. My approach is holistic, which means that the horse is considered a full part of a unit and does not necessarily have to work. The interplay of rider and horse can be viewed in a similar way to clockwork: if there is a problem, the whole process is mixed up. The harmony and the proverbial riding with fine (hidden) aids is influenced by many factors. These include mental state, physical fitness / training status, (disruptive) environmental influences, equipment. My goal of an hour is to do both parties as fair as possible and to end the hour with a satisfactory result. I like to bring in ideas from Eckart Meyners and Sally Swift, among others.
