Horses

We have met many horses in the course of our horsemanship career, and all of them have helped us on our way to becoming empathetic, horse-friendly trainers.

Here we introduce you to our current four-legged partners and teachers.

Viento

PRE / 03/19/2004

​

Viento is Silke's reigning show horse. We (Janek and I) imprinted him and he has enriched our family since he was born. Viento is an absolute reliable horse who - like his mom Candelera - always tries to understand his two-legged partner. Viento is playful and has mastered lessons such as piaffe, school parade, canter change and all lateral maneuvers on the lead rope and in liberty training.

Yellow River "Rivi"

American Mustang / 01/01/2013

​

River is our wild soul - in the truest sense of the word: River was one of the horses in Germany's first Mustang Makeover, where she was drawn to work with Silke. The charm of this little mare is so enchanting that Silke bought her after the event in Aachen. River is an introverted girl who loves cuddles. Since she has little fun in show business, she is allowed to enjoy her freedom in the midst of her herd of horses, which gives her security. Every time she feels like coming along, she is welcomed to do so and then learns surprisingly quickly. The gymnastic effect of the piaffe, for example, doesn't really matter to River. The main thing is that there is enough water, hay and no unnecessary walking in circles. River seems grateful that she has found a beautiful home here and that she no longer has to fight for survival in the harsh nature in the wilderness of the USA.

Keanu "Bubi"

QH-Friesen-Mix / 01.01.2008

​

Keanu, called Bubi, has been in our care since 2019. He is a funny, playful and charismatic horse who has enjoyed a solid basic education. He has already passed his baptism of fire as a show horse with flying colors in our musical. In the future, he should form a strong team with Viento and support us at trade fairs. Bubi is also a patient teacher for students joining us without their own horse.

Candelera "Candy"

PRE / 04/17/1999


Candelera, called Candy, is one of my first show horses and one of the most reliable of my herd. I bought her myself in Spain at the time and brought her home. As a mother, she gave us three adorable foals: Viento, Luna and Toffifee. She is now enjoying her retirement. Every now and then, she is a reliable partner and friend for little course children. Sometimes we still appreciate her as a loan horse for particularly anxious course participants. We keep her as fit as possible and make sure, she has got a good life with her children.

Casanova "Casi"

Hanoverian / 07.06.2009

​

Casi and Janek have been a dream team since November 2019. Casi already had a solid basic training and had been ridden in Légèreté. Casi is a reliable partner who learns quickly. He loves to romp around freely with Janek while he casually shows off all sorts of classic lessons. Shoulder in, travers, renvers, pirouettes, cast off, canter change and liberty dressage with fire are among his specialities.
