Training
Together towards our Goal
With Heart and Head
I train both horses and students in the art of dressage, sharing my knowledge and philosophy that I have developed over the years of working with the world’s most elite riders.
My Philosophy for Students
Du kannst mehr als du denkst.
Together, we foster a trusting environment where you feel comfortable, enjoy the process, and steadily make progress. Each little step moves you closer to your goal.
I am here for you.
Things don’t always go as planned—whether due to injuries, competitions, or daily challenges. Together, we develop strategies to deal with setbacks and build your confidence in yourself and your horse.
Understand what is meant.
Clear communication and mutual understanding are essential. Through homework, visuals, explanations, and practical tips, you’ll learn to truly understand your horse, avoid misunderstandings, and act independently.
Your Path to Working with Me
As a licensed Trainer for Performance Sports by the DOSB. fun and enjoyment for horse and rider are the top priority. Every rider and every horse is unique — and we make the most of that. I support you individually on the journey that suits you best:
Schooling of the Horse
Holistic training of talented dressage horses at the highest level. At a 5* equestrian facility northeast of Munich, various training options are available – from young horses to Grand Prix level. The horses are kept here in species-appropriate conditions with top health management and together we develop a training and competition plan.
Riding Lessons
Individually tailored lessons with homework for further independent and successful training, as well as tips for maintaining the health of our horses. Joint goal setting, mental support as well as competition planning and accompaniment are possible. The lessons can take place both online and, in a very selected setting, on site with me.
Online Offering
In addition to online riding lessons via video sessions, you’ll find free worksheets and practical guides to help you learn independently and optimize your training. An exclusive online area with more in-depth lessons is also currently in development.
Attention!
The training vacancy is strongly limited for quality purposes.
Success Stories & References
Leo
Self-trained successful up to Advanced Level
Achievements in training:
I have worked with Leo for years, guiding him from his first competition start to winning at S-level. We have achieved several dressage competition wins, and he is now on the way to the 3-star level.
Management & Feeding:
Leo was initially too thin, but I was able to improve his condition through further education in horse nutrition. The goal was to build muscle with as little extra feed as possible and significantly boost his performance. Since then, I use the same nutrient calculators for all horses to determine individualized feeding plans.
Isabell Rink
Successful up to Advanced Level
Isabell came with a horse that barely responded to leg aids and could be described as “lazy.” After targeted work on the aid control, especially the driving aids, the horse became much more lively, and the aids more refined. Isabell then won both M- and S-level dressage competitions with this horse. She says: “I can wholeheartedly recommend Celina’s lessons.”
Justine Lammers
Training her young horses up the levels
I support Justine in the training of her three young horses. I have been working with her the longest on her six-year-old horse, which was initially freshly backed and is now almost ready to start in M-levels with flying changes.
Justine: “Celina is the perfect supporter to help me bring my young horses into the sport.”
Eva Kropiunik
Successful up to Advanced Level
“I am very grateful that I have the opportunity to train with Celina. Her lessons are absolutely horse-friendly, varied and motivating. She always gives new and valuable tips. Every lesson is fun and I can highly recommend Celina!”
Pia Wilhelm
Successful up to Advanced Level
"Celina's lessons are always very educational, individualising the approach to every horse. Each lesson is challenging but is always tailored to the horse's well-being and happiness. I am happy and grateful to be able to train with her."
Silke Falschlunger
Qualified for the European Championships in Working Equitation
"In Celina I have found a trainer who prepares us specifically for our shows - our communication has become much more refined, my horse enjoys the work and is really fit."
Amelie Reisacher
Successful in Eventing
Amelie is already successful in eventing but wanted to improve her scores in the arena. Together, we worked on more subtle aids, correct figures, and tips and tricks for better performance in the dressage ring.
Amelie says: “It’s all about growing as a team with the horse — that’s what I enjoy most and it takes my riding to the next level :)”
This is important
My Philosophy of Training
My love and deep respect for horses is what drives me to work with them each and every day. Our horses - their health, well-being, and happiness - always come first ahead of training and sport.
Happiness & Trust
The well-being, health, and happiness of horses are my top priorities. Transparent communication, honesty, and close collaboration on equal terms ensure sustainable care.
Individual & Holistic
I care for my own and clients’ horses with the utmost attention, in cooperation with experts. The aim is to provide personalized, natural, and balanced management, training, and recovery methods.
Allow Fun
Joy and motivation are the foundation for success. With positive reinforcement, loving care, and respect, we build trust, joy, and long-term development.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum level required for the horse for training?
I prefer to leave the breaking in of young horses to riders who do this regularly and specialize in this area. Once 'gas,' 'brake,' and basic 'steering' work, I am very happy to take the reins, even with stallions and young horses. I am happy to recommend a trainer to you who breaks in my young horses.
Which Requirements exist for the Online Lessons?
All that is needed is someone to film or a Pivo/Pixio and a stable internet connection at the riding arena.
How do I book an Online Session?
Simply make a one-time request via this website. I will get back to you on that!Fill out this form!
How does the online lesson work?
Version 1: One person films you. The transmission is done via FaceTime or Zoom. Bluetooth headphones are connected to the filming phone.
Version 2: Pivo or Pixio films you and streams live and online to a link that I receive from you in advance.
How well does the Pivo work?
I use the Pivo myself for training!
Tips & Tricks for optimal results:
- Wear colorful T-shirts that contrast with the background
- Don't film against the sun
- If the Pivo loses you, just ride in front of the camera again
- Avoid having objects near the Pivo, otherwise, it will focus on them
- Use an additional power bank
- Settings: Tracking: on, Mode: Horse Tracking (Other), Tracking Speed: Fast, Predictive Follow: on, Tracking Zone: Auto
- Put your phone on do not disturb mode so that calls don't interrupt the lesson
