SoftHorse =
Smooth and Flexible
For a horse, movement throughout the entire body is essential. Every muscle must function properly to ensure smooth, unrestricted motion. When restrictions such as muscle tension arise, movement becomes impaired, leading to a range of negative consequences.
With SoftHorse, you’ll learn techniques to release muscle tension, restore mobility, and reduce the risk of injury.
Have you ever wondered why your horse sometimes moves stiffly or reluctantly? Now, imagine your horse moving with the natural grace and freedom it was born with. This isn’t just a dream—it’s possible. The key lies in understanding the body's incredible mechanics.
Think of your horse as a finely tuned machine, where every muscle plays a crucial role in movement. But what happens when restrictions and tension disrupt that movement? The entire system is affected, making it harder for your horse to perform, respond to your cues, and stay injury-free. Here, you’ll gain the knowledge to restore your horse’s natural mobility and prevent future issues.
Our methods are rooted in science and backed by over 30 years of experience working with horses. Now, we’re ready to share that knowledge with you.
With SoftHorse, you’ll learn effective techniques that can make a significant difference in your horse’s well-being and performance. Join us on this exciting journey and discover how to become your horse’s own wellness expert.
SoftHorse =
The Right Training.
The Right Equipment.
SoftHorse represents a harmonious balance between a horse’s natural movement patterns, properly fitted equipment, and a well-designed training philosophy. To optimize your horse’s well-being and performance, we combine scientifically backed knowledge with proven methods in both equipment fitting and training programs.
SoftHorse teaches you how to select the right equipment for optimal movement and comfort. A well-fitted saddle and the proper choice of bridle and bit are crucial for your horse’s longevity and enjoyment of work. We help you ensure that your horse’s equipment supports its biomechanics and freedom of movement—rather than restricting it or causing tension.
Whether you're training for competition or simply striving for a sound and sustainable horse in daily life, the right training approach is essential. By working with your horse’s natural abilities and gradually building strength, suppleness, and balance, you can develop a training plan that prevents injuries and promotes positive learning.
We emphasize varied training, correct movement patterns, and a progressive approach that strengthens both body and mind.
With SoftHorse, you gain the knowledge and tools to provide your horse with the best possible conditions—through the right equipment and thoughtful training at the core.

Equine psychology – understand and connect
Truly understanding your horse is the key to a strong relationship, effective training, and a safe partnership.
SoftHorse works with the horse’s natural behaviors and signals to create communication based on respect, clarity, and cooperation.
SoftHorse teaches you how to interpret your horse’s body language, reactions, and needs, helping you build a trusting relationship where your horse works with you—not against you.
Horses constantly communicate through subtle signals, posture, and movement patterns. By becoming more attuned to these expressions, you can adjust your training and handling in a way that feels natural and safe for your horse.
SoftHorse helps you recognize what your horse is trying to say and respond in a way that strengthens cooperation and reduces misunderstandings.
Effective training is rooted in the horse’s natural ability to learn and its motivation. By working with the horse’s instincts and reinforcing positive behaviors in the right way, you create safe, sustainable training that allows the horse to develop with joy and confidence.
SoftHorse emphasizes clarity, consistency, and precise timing to make training both enjoyable and rewarding for horse and rider. At SoftHorse, you’ll gain the knowledge and tools to better understand your horse and build a relationship based on trust and cooperation.
