Individual Guidance & The Overall Concept

At the HippoCampus Institute, individual guidance is anchored in a broad, comprehensive concept. We connect clinical psychology, psychomotorics, and classical riding across all disciplines.

"Harmony only arises when the human is willing to step into the horse's world of experience, and physical training (the independent seat) goes hand in hand with psychomotor understanding."

The Three Fundamental Pillars of HippoCampus

1. Equine-Facilitated Therapy

  • Developmental promotion & orthopedagogical guidance.
  • Psychosocial support, rehabilitation & equine psychotherapy.
  • Professional training and continuing education for equine therapists.

2. Equestrian Sports Psychology

  • Seat correction and development of the independent seat.
  • Psychomotor guidance for both rider and horse.
  • Competition support & prevention of stress / learned helplessness.

3. Classical Foundation & Training

  • Classical training of rider and horse as a solid foundation.
  • Systematic lunging lessons and ground-work methods.
  • Scientifically grounded learning theory and didactics.

From Intake to Sustainable Results

Whether it is a therapeutic path, correcting persistent seat flaws, or improving sports performance, every pathway starts with a thorough analysis. Through video analysis, wooden horse exercises, and practical sessions (at HippoCampus or on location for groups of 5+), we provide you with the tools to build further independently.
