Dressage Master Class - an extraordinary evening during the European Championships
"Training ambassador" Christoph Hess invites to the show program in Riesenbeck
There is only one way of hippological training, and that is through the correct training of rider and horse. This applies to all equestrian athletes, whether in the discipline of para-dressage, jumping or dressage. How this path should look like, Christoph Hess explains vividly and entertainingly in his show program "Dressage Master Class" during the FEI European Championships in Dressage and Para Dressage, on Saturday, September 9, at 5:00 pm in the large dressage stadium of Riesenbeck International.
Together with riders from the disciplines Dressage (Bianca Nowak-Aulenbrock) and Para Dressage (Dr. Angelika Trabert, Gianna Regenbrecht), and a surprise guest, Christoph Hess, who is a "Training Ambassador" of the German Equestrian Federation and leads courses, seminars and trainings for trainers and instructors worldwide, will explain and demonstrate how the interaction between man and horse should look like to be horse-friendly and successful. "We plan to make the 90-minute event interactive and want everyone to benefit, whether they are spectators, riders, trainers or interested fans," says Christoph Hess. Entertaining, exciting and informative, that's what the events by and with Christoph Hess have been for years. At the European Championships in Para Dressage and Dressage in Riesenbeck, he wants to build a bridge between the disciplines with successful active riders and vividly demonstrate that there are definitely facets in the training of horses and riders that can be learned from each other.
Fine riding. This is the desire that guides the participating actors and Christoph Hess in what they do. What was the respective path to becoming a championship rider like? What challenges did they have to overcome? Riders and spectators at the Dressage Master Class event will have their say. "It is important to me that there is interaction between the riders involved, the spectator and myself," says Christoph Hess, who is organizing this extraordinary evening together with the Personal Members of the FN.
The Dressage Master Class will take place on Saturday, September 9 as part of the European Championships at 5:00 pm before the Foal Auction. The event, in German and English, is free to all who have a day ticket or a season ticket.
