Sport Riding

Reiten ist kein Sport. Reiten ist Kultur. Reiten ist die Verschmelzung mit einem Wesen, das so viel größer und stärker ist als wir. Seit über 6000 Jahren ist das Pferd an unserer Seite. Wenn wir uns ihm anvertrauen, zeigt es uns den Weg zu dem Ort, wo Schönheit und Frieden wohnen. Die Reise dorthin kann lang und beschwerlich sein. Wichtig aber ist es, diesen Weg zu gehen. Wir sollten auf dieser Reise niemals nach einfachen Lösungen suchen. Reiten ist Lebensschule. Sie formt nicht nur das Pferd, sondern auch uns.
