Bio
Growing up using positive reinforcement in dog school and the German training system in a German riding school, I felt like there was a link missing. I learned how to teach my dog, but I only learned how to ride horses that already knew their buttons. Completing my equestrian coaching licence in Germany 2014 still wasn´t enough. Once I came across the ESI Diploma and worked with Jody Hartstone in New Zealand the missing link slid into place and I wouldn’t look back.
Completing the diploma in Equitation Science in 2016 and being able to stay as a working student at the AEBC was eye opening. Never stop learning!
Since then I have been successfully retraining horses in Germany for a rider in the global champions tour and had the privilege of a working student position with Ingrid Klimke.
Currently I am managing the riding School Wallington Park Equestrian Centre, I am available for lessons there, at Pony Club and Adult riding club in the Bellarine area. I love sharing the principles of how horses learn and how you can help your horse to understand.
