Courses

Over the years Holger Hetzel has developed a very special training concept, based on his vast experience , to ensure that course participants are able to assimilate as much knowledge and information as possible over a three-day period. The next course will take place from 9-11 February 2024!

 

Here’s the intensive course programme:

1. Tag: 

- Arrival
- Demonstration: flat work for jumping horses with special exercises to assess 
   rideability
- Training for participants with the same content as the demonstration  

2. Tag: 

- Demonstration: jump sequences and related distances
- Group training with the same content as the demonstrations and a focus on the
   participant’s individual needs
- Course building for the competition with explanations and a course walk with
   theoretical input  

3. Tag: 

- Training Competition riding with individual mentoring: course walking, warm- up and an analysis of the ride afterwards.

 

 

“I try to communicate as much know-how to my pupils as possible during the three days.”
