The passion to horses actually appeared in my early years. Supported by my grandfather, I started participating shows with already 14 years, since them riding is my greatest obsession.

After my education, I started working as a professional horseman – at first in the classical way. Stamped by Roger Kupfer, I decided to change to western riding.

I decided to stay 2 years in Italy, with Maurizio Tonini, one of my most important friends. Today I can say that he had the greatest impact on me.

After 5 years independent working in Bavaria I changed to one of Germany’s most beautiful ranches – Döring Quarter Horses in Marl. Due to the great engagement of Jürgen Döring, I was given the opportunity to enlarge my knowledge by working with numerous professional horsemen (p.e. Gred Hillerman – cutting world champion).

This was followed by a long stay in the United States and Texas p.e. at Cedar Ridge Stallion Ranch owned by Casey Hinton (reining world champion) where I had the chance to ride with world champions.

After some time in Austria I went back to my home country Germany. Today I’m working with my own system, originate from different influences.
