"The longer I study the EdL, the more I understand the genius of its integral structure in the training
of a horse.
Merci Philippe Karl!"
I started getting involved with horses at the age of 14 and soon fell in love with dressage riding. I had two horses on loan to ride and compete for years. With the second horse I realised the limits of the conventional methode of training horses. I did give up competing and went on the search for other ways of riding.
I became interested in horsemanship, especially understanding how horses learn. I translated many horsemanship clinics for Alfonso Aguillar and cow work clinics with Mike Bridges in old Californian style of riding. I also learned a lot in the school of "True Connection" from Ingela Larsson Smith. In one of the clinics with Alfonso Aguillar with my young horse, I got introduced to EdL and I went for it. The love for dressage was still slumbering.
How and why I came to riding in Légèreté with Philippe Karl
I had the great fortune of being able to start training as an EdL riding teacher with my Arabian mix in 2012. I passed the Level 1 exam in 2015 and have been attending Philippe Karl's advanced training courses to this date. My horse is schooled up to the high level exercises.
I teach riders with their horses according to the principles of the Ecole de Légèreté, mainly in the Bern region, and was appointed Master Teacher for Australia by Philippe Karl in 2026.
The longer I study the EdL, the more I understand the genius of its integral structure in the training of a horse.
Merci Philippe Karl!
