Booking lessons
I have been teaching for 30 years, of which the last 15+ years internationally. I took two sabbat years to write my book.
Now I am parttime available again for lessons and (live) video coaching.
(Live) Pivo coaching
How does it work?
If you have a pivo you can send me a link with which I can follow live and teach you via an ear piece. This works almost as good as me being there. When we set an appointment for a lesson, we make up a lesson planning together and I send you which passages in the book you best read over, or I'll send you other relevant information, well beforehand.
With what can I help?
Whether you would like to know more about your interaction, your horse's body language and what he is telling you, or if you would like to start with shoulder in, or piaffe, does not matter. Or do you have to rehab your horse from kissing spines, trauma or other physical or mental problems, I can help with just about anything.
Is there a prefered tack?
That is up to you, but I myself prefer a cavesson, a snaffle bridle or a double bridle, depending on what you and your horse are working on. You can also work freestyle or with cordeo. I personally never work with rope halters.
What can you expect?
You can expact a lesson that will help you and your horse make a vast jump in both your education, at least one exercise you can now execute and perfect and a jump in the understanding between you and your horse, filling your tool bag with knowledge and subtle aids to create a healthy and fun sessions, each time you work with your horse.
What does it cost?
A lesson is:
- EUR 30 per half an hour, EUR 60 per hour

What can you expect?
I will send you a detailed report with video stills and the exact minutes and seconds in the video, so you can rewatch, with my recommendations, explainations on how and why so you can see what I see and then work on that with your horse. People are very satisfied with the feedback reports and the specific homework they receive and make tremendous progress.
