My Training Philosophy
Equestrian training is a long-term commitment that involves years of dedication, thoughtful care, and consistent work. My training program is designed with the big picture in mind, encompassing realistic one-year and four-year goals. I balance daily and weekly training schedules to maintain enthusiasm for both you and your horse.
I Strive To:
• Balance hard work and fun: I’ll design a structured program that varies training intensity while keeping our long-term goals in sight.
• Adapt to daily circumstances: Training should be flexible enough to adjust how you and your horse feel each day.
• Build deep, lifelong relationships: I aim to create connections beyond the barn, shaping skilled riders and horses and lifelong equestrians.

Training for Horses
Young Horse Development
Training young horses requires a careful, thoughtful approach, and I treat each horse as an individual with its own personality, physical attributes, and mental readiness. My goal is to introduce training in a way that helps the young horse develop trust, enjoy its work, and build a solid foundation for the future.
I am experienced in producing show jumpers all the way up to Grand Prix level and in providing a very solid base to dressage horses.
Advanced Horse Training
If your horse is ready to take its skills to the next level, my “physiological and psychological” based training method is ideal. I gradually build your horse’s physical fitness while providing positive experiences to keep it mentally engaged and enthusiastic. I’ve trained horses up to the Grand Prix level in show jumping, and I’ll work with your horse to help it reach its full potential.
Training for Riders
When I train riders, I do more than just prepare you for competitions—I teach you to truly understand your horse and communicate on a deeper level. Riding is more than just mastering techniques; it’s about experiencing the “feeling” that transforms your approach to training and riding. Once you’ve felt that sensation, everything changes.
My lessons are detailed and personalized because I want you to understand the “why” behind every exercise. I’m not just your trainer; I’m your teacher, helping you become a horse trainer in your own right. My goal is to give you the skills and knowledge to continue improving your horse’s life long after our lessons.
I offer training for all levels of experience. You’ll need your own horse, but if you don’t have one yet, I can help you find a suitable partner to lease.
Finding Your Perfect
Equine Partner
Finding the right horse is a crucial part of your equestrian journey, and I’m here to help you through the process. With my extensive network and experience across Europe and the U.S., I’ll work with you to find a horse that matches your personality, riding ability, and goals. It’s not just about buying a horse; it’s about finding a partner to build a lasting and successful relationship with.
