What is your Professional career/ educational level ?
Growing up on a riding farm, it was almost clear that I would become a horse girl, my first tournaments I competed with my purebred Arabian pony and then my mother had to hand over her dressage horses to me. With successes up to the difficult dressage, it was predestined that I will also pursue my professional career with horses. Thus, I completed a horse management apprenticeship and then the master school for equestrian economics as a classical riding education.

It was always important for me to follow the path of the old masters, so my training as a rider was very much influenced by the riding master Günther Festerling. My trainer Jochen Leicht, who has been with me for many years and is also a current trainer, is of course a Festerling pupil.
I discovered my love for working equitation in 2013 on Horse International, my first start was in 2014 with my Lusitano stallion Junco also on Horse International.
My aim as a trainer is to create a good team of riders and horses, to give them pleasure in their work and to master problems successfully. I try to teach this in numerous courses and my permanent students
