A good seat is the foundation for a harmonious connection between rider and horse. That’s why the workshops at Studio Reitgefühl are all about you as a rider: balance, seat training, body awareness, and a better feel in the saddle.

Together with renowned trainers and therapists, we’ll explore different approaches and practical exercises that will help you become more aware of your body and further develop your seat.

We don’t just stick to theory -we take action!

Through a variety of movement and physical exercises, you can experience firsthand how you’re changing and what insights you can take with you into your everyday life and, later, into the saddle. It doesn’t matter whether you already have a lot of experience or are simply curious and want to become more aware of your seat:

Tanja Schulze

Tanja Schulze is a Master of Equine Management, a movement trainer certified by Eckart Meyners, and a Neuro-Rider trainer from Leipzig. Her focus: your seat in the saddle. How you move on the horse is determined by your nervous system—your seat, your balance, and how you apply your aids. “Riding begins in the brain”—why your nervous system is the key to your seat—explained briefly, then experienced firsthand right away. Practical. Immediately noticeable. Instantly applicable. Even without a horse.

Katja Schnabel

Whether you have competitive ambitions or not, or whether you’re a trail rider or cross-country rider, a calm, correct, and balanced seat is key. This must be learned and is difficult to achieve without an outside observer. A rider simply cannot see themselves and correct and eliminate all their unintended movements while allowing and reinforcing the intended ones. This is where Katja Schnabel comes in; thanks to her years of experience, she provides exactly the outside perspective a rider needs.

Jessica Czaja

Do you want to ride with more finesse, improve your seat, and truly understand your horse? Do you want better balance, a lighter connection, and a harmonious partnership? Then discover what can change when rider and horse are viewed as a unified whole! Don’t miss this unique workshop by Jessica Czaja and Cornelia Mende, which combines Western and English riding with physical therapy.

Jessica Czaja—Riding with Sensitivity and Subtle Aids Professional riding instructor Jessica will show you how to work with your horse mindfully and in a way that’s right for the horse, refine your aids, and develop more subtle communication with your horse. Through her many years of work as a Western riding instructor, Jessica has developed an unparalleled intuition for both horse and rider—and she’ll give you a taste of it.

Cornelia Mende

Your body is the key!

What happens to the horse when the rider is out of balance, and what happens to the rider when the opposite is true? Cornelia, an experienced physical therapist with a keen eye for riders, identifies potential misalignments and movement patterns and works with you on balance, flexibility, body awareness, and strength. Through targeted exercises, you’ll learn to use your body more consciously—for greater stability and a better sense of movement in the saddle.
