What we do

Whatever you hope to accomplish with your horse, in essence, it all comes down to being able to move your horse as if you were to move your own body. That is nothing less than UNITY! A Unity both in Mind and in Body.

The first master in dressage, Federigo Grisone, described it most beautifully in his Gli Ordine di Cavalcare as

"You want to ride and sit upon your horse not only with great spirit and without fear, but note that you are one body, one mind, one will with him."

That is exactly what we envision with our horsemanship: The road from horse to unity. 

But such a horsemanship can only succeed when it

1. Adapts itself to each horse specifically, which requires Feel

2. It works in all the domains - we term pillars - that is: communication, mental and physical

3. That wants to build internal qualities not just external shapes

4. That uses natural principles rather than formal rules

Lucikily, this ideal of Unity is not new. What is more, it is century-old, we only seem to forgot about it. Our method is therefore inspired by these historical methods such as Buckarroo Horsemanship, Historical dressage, Gineta horsemanship and medieval/knightly horsemanship.

However, within the SAEquestris we did not just carelessly adopted these methods, but studied them into great detail and tested them against our scientific knowledge of the reality of the horse. After all, it is always the horse that determines the value of a method!

The product of that work is our general horsemanship, the road form horse to Unity.
