There is, however, also the opposite: Why do we see so many beautiless images of animals in Rollkur and with unclean gaits? Voices criticizing today's equestrian sport and training methods geared toward quick successes are getting increasingly loud. Is this criticism justifi ed? How can we turn the tide in the horse's favor?
Let us start with ourselves! Christoph Ackermann explains how we can bring any horse – healthily and happily – to its respective top performance by schooling the correct balance, handling the horse with affection, and applying consistent, systematic training according to the Training Scale.
Christoph Ackermann himself actively competes in equestrian sports. In this book, he presents a courageous and searingly honest critique of the established way the sport operates, which will give any horse lover food for thought.
About the author Christoph Ackermann, a graduate in business adminis- tration and riding instructor, comes from a family of riders and is successful in dressage both nationally and internationally. As a master student of Egon von Neindorff, he is committed to classical riding. He holds the Golden Riding Badge and rides his horses, which he basically trains himself, up to Grand Prix level. He is in demand as a trainer throughout Europe and the USA.
