Four Days of Training with Dr. Gerd Heuschmann

See Biomechanics Applied in Real Training

Following the two-day Equine Biomechanics Symposium, Dr. Gerd Heuschmann will remain at CH Equine for four additional days of training rides.

These training days offer a rare opportunity to see the principles discussed during the symposium put into practice with a variety of horses and riders.

Every horse is different. Each horse brings its own strengths, weaknesses, movement patterns, training history, and physical challenges. Over four days, Dr. Heuschmann will work with riders to improve balance, suppleness, posture, relaxation, and correct use of the horse’s body, while keeping long-term soundness and well-being at the center of the training.

This is where theory becomes practice.

From the Classroom to the Arena

During the symposium, Dr. Heuschmann will explore equine anatomy, biomechanics, correct movement, muscular development, and how training affects the horse’s body.

The four training days that follow allow participants and auditors to continue that education by watching those same principles applied in real time.

You will have the opportunity to observe how Dr. Heuschmann evaluates each horse, identifies areas of tension or compensation, and adjusts the training to help the horse move more correctly through the entire body.

Rather than focusing simply on the appearance of a movement or the position of the horse’s head and neck, the emphasis remains on the whole horse.

How is the back functioning?

Is the horse moving freely through the body?

Are the hindquarters contributing correctly?

Is the rider helping or interfering with the horse’s balance?

How can the training be adjusted to create greater ease, suppleness, and confidence?

These are the questions that make these training days so valuable.

A Unique Learning Opportunity

Watching multiple horses over several days allows you to begin recognizing patterns that can be difficult to see during a single lesson or clinic.

Different horses may demonstrate different challenges, giving auditors the opportunity to develop a more educated eye and a deeper understanding of how biomechanics influence training.

These days are valuable for riders and horse professionals across disciplines, including:

• Dressage riders
• Western dressage riders
• Eventers
• Hunter/jumper riders
• Trainers and instructors
• Equine bodyworkers
• Saddle fitters
• Veterinarians and rehabilitation professionals
• Anyone interested in understanding correct movement and training

You do not need to ride at an advanced level to benefit. You simply need a desire to better understand the horse.

We Strongly Encourage You to Attend the Symposium First

For the most complete experience, we highly recommend joining us for the two-day Equine Biomechanics Symposium with Dr. Gerd Heuschmann before attending the training days.

The symposium provides the foundation for everything you will see during the following four days.

Through lectures, anatomical demonstrations, and practical sessions with horses and riders, Dr. Heuschmann will explain the biomechanics behind correct training and help participants understand what is happening inside the horse’s body.

By attending the symposium first, you will arrive at the training days with a much deeper understanding of what to look for, why certain training choices are made, and how those choices affect the horse physically.

Think of the symposium as learning the language.

The four training days let you watch that language in action.

Six Days Devoted to Understanding the Horse

Together, the symposium and training days create an extraordinary educational experience:

2 Days of Biomechanics Education
+ 4 Days of Practical Training
= 6 Days of Learning from Dr. Gerd Heuschmann

Understand it. See it. Apply it.

If you are serious about developing your eye, improving your training decisions, and gaining a deeper understanding of how to help horses remain happy, supple, balanced, and sound, we encourage you to join us for the entire experience.
