1. "I teach classical principles with a modern approach."

  • I unite the classical principles of dressage with the riding style of today.
  • I add the bio-mechanical knowledge of the horse that we have today with the classical principles of dressage.
  • I believe my students can benefit from the best of both worlds!

2. "I believe strong foundations are essential!"

  • Going back to the basics always solves problems.
  • Dressage basics are the building blocks for the training of the horse.
  • The "basics" are like vegetables - they are essentials.
  • Without the basics, dressage is not possible.


3. "I believe positive reinforcement and strenghthening the bond between horse and rider is critical."

  • The horse should be your friend first. This will improve and accelerate the learning process.
  • Creating and improving the communication between the horse and rider makes the horse enjoy the process.
  • Make the horse enjoy the process and make him happy because without a bond between horse and rider, dressage does not make sense.
