This is it!

I feel I have met a human being in Klaus who is not only the best horseman I would have heard of but more so a strong but humble human being I wish we could find many more on this planet. He in his very very own way (and this makes him beautiful) was able to guide a group of around 40 to 70 people out of the pumping & screeming world into a world of magic and miracles as it seems. As it seems I say because it is not, it is real and life giving, full of trust, respect and love for other beings of this earth. Many of us he was able to guide on the path of healing with the help of the horse as their mirror and his most intuition & compassion. He showed us the way to true happiness and everybody who was willing to see and listen would carry a tremendous gift back home with them.

For the first time Klaus structured the seminars differently.

To build a very strong foundation (see diagram below) he introduced us to the often missed component of the spirit which forms the basis of all life and ties everything to each other much like the mortar makes the house possible. He calls it "Spirit & Energy". The ground work for everything to come thereafter and as we were able to see in the later seminars when new people joined made the difference between heaven and earth to the actual work with the horses.

The next component is equally important. "Body Awareness & Energy" bridges the world of the material (body) to the world of spirit / energy. Seemingly simple exercises developed by Klaus opened even the most stiff amongst us a way of no pain to joyful exercises which enhance the body's flexibility and helps return the joy of being in the now. It opens up the horizon of feeling & perception and introduced us to the world of the horse or better said how the world is perceived by the horse thus creating a better understanding. Preparations for proper body posture, one of which will allow you to enjoy a full life until the end of your days. Proper energy boundaries are discussed and practised.

With all these preparations done only by and for the human himself the "First Encounter with the Horse" or "Borderline" can take place. Klaus has actually done the Borderline as the first seminar to give us a preview and an aim and also an understanding why "Spirit & Energy" and "Body Awareness & Energy" must be preceding actions to be taken before one meets the horse.

This "First Encounter" is about mutual respect, proper boundaries and finding out who the horse is you wish to dance with in the end. It is about developing trust, real trust and healing of wounds so that the new relationship between human & horse can take place on clean and clear foundations.

The next component is called "The Art of Lunging". Together with what we have learned previously we were up for wonderful surprises. It quickly became very clear that people who only just came to attend this seminar were leaps and bounds behind us and struggled with the now introduced art of lounging. Collection, body awareness and emptiness in mind were coming into play and defined the outcome of the meeting with the horse and lunging. Being in the here and now, letting go of anything else started to become a whole different meaning. Finding the right moment and then feeling what is the right thing to do demanded so much but we have been rewarded tremendously.

Wow, I don't ride, so I awaited the next block seminar "The Art of Riding" in a very relaxed attitude. What I was able to witness exceeded by far my expectations. Each and everyone who was called to sit on a horse and ride under Klaus's instructions transformed into a radiating blossoming human being. It felt like the energy would rise up through the horse and through the person melting these two beings into one and like a rising fountain through the core middle the energy pushed far above and over the unity. The human and the horse moved in unison. This was pure magic and believe me I am not somebody who easily dishes out compliments to this extend!

So if you really desire a change in the way you want to be together with your horse, Klaus's seminars are a MUST but expect to walk away with much more than you have bargained for!!! For some it might feel that they really had lived for the first time in their lifes!!!

I never was part of the horse world as it is known but I always stood close to it, observing and feeling, seeing how much time people invest to ultimately find an entrance to the horse which allows them to fully trust and understand. What was remarkable to me throughout all these seminars was that even though people who own horses and are in business with them never seemed to be completely free of fear when dealing with a horse. For the first time I came to understand that my fear is actually not really a fear as such but respect for the creature and its boundaries. I came to understand that I no longer need to pack my feelings away and keep them locked away because not ignoring them is helpful in the understanding and approach / or not approach for that matter. This experience ripped the wall of isolation of me and I understood one more part of myself.

Watching Klaus live and being there has given me the reassurance that my dream which I dreamt as a little girl was real and is doable, not only that but is the ultimate. I still have to go the way of course but my first encounter with my horse after the seminars was very promising. For the first time in my life I stood in a paddock with horses all around me and I felt no fear!

Was it worth the long journey, the monetary expenditure and the time? YES, YES & YES again!
