Horse training

We train your horse!

Training horses is our great passion and core competence at the Brainpoldhof. Today’s success in the industry is the result of Georg and Kathrin Karosser’s many years of experience, who have dedicated themselves to the science of sustainable and horse-appropriate training with an insatiable passion.

A holistic approach to training is the key to sustainable results. That means that we don’t just “train” horses. Rather, our work also includes the inclusion of correctly adapted working materials such as saddle, harness and bridle, initial and follow-up checks of hoof balance, teeth and the entire musculoskeletal system, the fine-tuned feeding, and taking into account the individual nature and character of each horse.

We treat the horses entrusted to us with love and respect, consistently and caringly. As if they were our own. Depending on your wishes and availability, you will be accommodated either in a stable in the main building or in one of our holiday stables. During their stay with us, the horses enjoy an all-round carefree treatment that corresponds to the basic package + horse training package + special feed package (see here).

Riding Preparation

Riding Preparation is a very important stage in the life of a horse. We make this new experience as comfortable as possible for your horse. Every horse that starts an apprenticeship with us enjoys individual support tailored to its character. We proceed in logical steps that build on each other so that the horse in question always has the chance to internalize what has been learned and, as a matter of course, to call it up again and again. It is very important for us not to hustle the horse. The horse itself specifies the time it takes for the training.

Driving Preparation

We have been dedicated to horse driving for many years and have a tried and tested method for gently introducing horses to the subject of “carriage driving”. It is essential for a horse-friendly training to give the horse enough time and not to spoil it. That is why our horse driving training includes a lot of preparatory and confidence-building work from the ground up. If this is done conscientiously, the step in front of the carriage is often only marginal.

Basically, horse driving is not only important for owners who are passionate about sports. Rather, horse driving is a useful addition for horses of all breeds and uses . Especially when driving young horses, it is possible to train the back muscles without having the heavy load of the rider.

Correction

Every now and then it can happen that you come to a dead end on the way together with your horse and have the feeling that nothing works at all. This is where we come in. We look closely to the problem, analyze the current situation and get to the bottom of the origin of the difficulties. Based on this, we design a tailor-made concept so that people and horses can harmonize again.

Preparation for breeding events

Regardless of whether you want a “Stutbucheintragung” or a “Körung”, a foal championship or a participant for a world exhibition – your horse is in the right hands with us for preparation for all breeding events. In addition to our training know-how, we as breeding judges also have an eye for the strengths and weaknesses of each horse. So we know exactly where to work to achieve a perfect result. Because only if the daily work and care, the optimal feeding, the hairdressing and the presentation on day X result in a holistic package, it is possible to let your horse shine in full glory. And it deserves no less.
