World renowned veterinarian, Bereiter (Master Trainer), and author Dr. Gerd Heuschmann will present a two-day symposium on the Biomechanics of Soundness. Dr. Heuschmann is based at the Warendorf Veterinary Clinic associated with the German National Riding School. A respected international lecturer, Dr. Heuschmann educates equestrians on how to make the sport better for the horse. A true horse lover and voice for the horse, Dr. Heuschmann boldly speaks about the damaging effects of incorrect training methods (especially hyperflexion!) employed by many competitive riders and trainers today.
Our guest lecturer, Jochen Schleese, will present a lecture on saddle fitting and its impact on the biomechanics of the horse. As an author, and international lecturer and teacher, Jochen Schleese has taught with Dr. Heuschmann at the German National Riding School, training Bereiter and Reitlehrer on saddle fit principles and assessment, as well as at clinics all over North America.
