The leading of a horse and very closely connected to this the general issue of safety are fundamental basics of Klaus’ work and teaching. Both fields are in his opinion very much underestimated. This video shows excerpts from the Compact Schooling which are illuminating both leading and general safety and it surely makes very clear how high his fundamental demands are in this. KFH is here working on safety with a green horse. Those who are acquainted with the work of Klaus know, that it is not at all about killing the horse’s soul in order to get it under control — on the contrary — for him it is about continuously raising the horse’s inner power and independence and through the development of the own personality being able to hold and handle it in mutual cooperation. You may find much further information in the new book: The Horse Seeks Me. This video describes important parts of the horse therapist Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling’s work (www.hempfling.com. For a better understanding it is helpful to connect this video with his background, added in the following Hempfling, with his professional background in communications has shaken up the international horse world. He is working with these powerful, dignified creatures in accordance with nature. The development of the rider’s “presence” and an orientation to holistic principles is integral to this work. Klaus has the ability to “know” a horse within a few seconds and within a few minutes of the first meeting, he …
I did my first lesson today, it was great, the twoo years old mare did good too. this man is really good with horses
i have learn alot more from this video than acully reading and learn from anyone
I was at the Compact Schooling when this was filmed – and it was pure magic to watch. Klaus has an unbelievable way with horses – but one that we can also learn. It is about learning how to be calm, grounded and clear in ourselves – but it is never about force or aggression. I am still digesting all I learnt – a wonderful experience!!
And this is why I don’t ride right now…I have not been able to be with my horses enough to make sure they are BOMB PROOF. Right now, both my horses freak if a branch moves…I refuse to mount a horse that is afraid of a tree…it would be totally irresponsible to get on my horse when she’s in that state of mind.
VERY well said.
The ability Klaus has to be as spiritual as he is practical, as artistic as he is down to earth, never ceases to susprise me! It is such a rare combination and i believe the one that is missing from most people! To separate one from the other, to believe that they do not belong in the same line of thought, the same approach to reality is demeaning, incomplete and therefore handicaps one’s ability to fulfil their lives and in this case, their relation to horses.
In no other way of relations with humans horses feel better and so much WHAT THEY TRULLY ARE… Huge bravo and kneeling down before thise Master…
