many years of experience in coaching
As a former German professional rider champion , Olympic participant and internationally successful dressage rider, I know the pressure that weighs on your shoulders at crucial moments. I know how it feels to overcome fear of failure and to deliver a precise performance .
My experience as team coach of the Spanish dressage team has shown me how important mental strength and clear leadership are in order to remain successful even under the highest pressure.
These insights shape my approach to preparing people and horses alike for their challenges – with a focus on trust, resilience and goal orientation.
Story of success: Cordula Holz
With my support, Cordula Holz has written an impressive success story that has led her to Grand Prix victories . Her riding style is characterized by sensitive, horse-friendly and mentally strong action.
A key aspect of her success is her mental preparation, which helps her to perform at her best in important events. Thanks to her self-confidence and mental strength, Cordula has been able to develop an exceptional partnership with her horses. She now passes this mental balance on to her students.
The training with me helped her to find the perfect balance between mental strength and horse-friendly riding. Because only those who are a trustworthy and reliable partner for their horse can succeed at the highest level - a philosophy that Cordula Holz lives and masters.
These insights shape my approach to preparing people and horses alike for their challenges – with a focus on trust, resilience and goal orientation.
Mental Strength
Mental strength is fundamental in equestrian sports because it forms the basis for clear and confident communication with the horse. Horses are highly sensitive animals that immediately perceive the emotions of their rider .
Only those who remain calm and focused can convey security to their horse and react appropriately in stressful situations. Self-confidence and mental balance help to keep a clear head even under pressure or in challenging moments.
Mental strength turns the rider into a reliable partner who gives the horse orientation and trust. This promotes harmonious cooperation and enables the rider to perform at the highest level.
