Katja holds German certification (Deutsche Reiterliche Vereinigung) as an Amateur Trainer for Dressage and Jumping. She also has German certification in Carriage Driving.

Katja believes that “Learning Natural Horsemanship and understanding the true nature of the horse is one of the most important things before mounting these noble animals. Understanding their needs, wants and instincts will make you a better rider.

Starting off with a balanced seat and the knowledge of using good communication (aids) will create a partnership between you and your horse that is beyond imagination.

Being in harmony with the animal will provide you more pleasure than any medal you might win.”

She teaches in English, Spanish and German.

“We will not just help you improve your riding, we will also turn you into a true horse-person who will be confident in handling, cleaning and tacking a horse wherever you go!”
