Experience with Horses I started riding during my childhood and gained my first experience with ponies and horses at Bernhard Fliegl’s horse farm. I was also able to attend smaller courses and successfully completed them with badges. After a few years of experience I had the first of my horses, a Brandenburg mare, which I trained further, among other things in jumping. I rescued my second mare in pregnant condition from a stall on a farm with a friend who was an animal welfare activist. Due to bad experiences she was not manageable and in the few months until her birth I successfully managed to gain her trust, to be able to touch her everywhere, to groom her and to take her for walks. I would like to develop my riding skills even further and expand my knowledge. I have been working as a Trainer in a Pony Club for 2 years. It is especially important to me in dealing with horses that it is a non-violent partnership. I regularly study Natural Horsemanship and incorporate this knowledge into my work with horses. I also have a 5 year old mare which I am currently starting and her yearling.
