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

• Refine your aids and timing
• Experience how lightness transforms connection
