Adult Foundations Clinic – Sunday 1st March 2026

Adult Foundations Clinic – Refine Your Riding with Nataly Schnitzler ✨ 

Thinking about getting back in the saddle… or finally giving riding a proper go?

Join us for a supportive, confidence-building clinic designed specifically for adult beginner and returning riders, led by internationally trained dressage rider and instructor Nataly Schnitzler.

With over 20 years of experience in Aachen — home of CHIO Aachen, the world’s largest equestrian festival — Nataly brings a rare blend of modern expertise and classical horsemanship.

Her background includes:
• A 3-year German Riding Instructor Apprenticeship
• Over 5 years training with professionals connected to the German Olympic Committee
• Prix St. Georges wins and Grand Prix placings on client horses
• A deep commitment to restoring classical principles and prioritising lightness and horse welfare

Nataly believes in returning to the roots of riding — where harmony, respect, and clear communication come before medals and scores.

“There is a world of ancient knowledge that’s on the verge of being lost. It is our duty as riders to re-learn and share that wisdom — for the good of the horse.”
— Nataly Schnitzler

This Clinic Is Perfect For:

✔ Adult beginners
✔ Returning riders rebuilding confidence
✔ Nervous riders ready to progress independently
✔ Riders wanting structured, correct foundations
✔ Those comfortable walking unassisted on uneven ground

This is not a lead-rein session. Riders must feel confident walking independently.

What You’ll Do:

• Bring the horses in, groom, saddle, and bridle
• Work both in-hand and under saddle
• Learn the Principles of Riding with clarity and purpose
• Refine your aids and timing
• Experience how lightness transforms connection
• Develop feel, balance, and biomechanical understanding
