Training
Classically oriented, individually tailored
Our philosophy
The journey is the goal
Classically oriented riding school of Eichhof Akademie in Schenkenhorst near Berlin · riding lessons, professional schooling, corrective training and young horse training · dressage, show jumping, eventing, horsemanship · regular weekend clinics with guest trainers such as Karin Lührs, Conny Faste and Alfonso Aguilar.
When naming the extension of the Eichhof, we set the bar high. With our training offering we increasingly live up to that ambitious name — Eichhof Akademie is a place where horse, rider and trainer are all developed and supported.
Training at Eichhof Akademie follows the principles of classical riding. The focus is on horse-friendly work geared towards looseness and throughness — always with the goal of a harmonious connection between horse and rider.
We are convinced that every horse-and-rider pair deserves individual development. That is why we create a tailored training plan for every horse and every rider — promoting strengths, working on weaknesses, and enabling shared growth.
Patience, empathy and a clear method form the foundation of our daily work. Whether young horse or seasoned sport horse, beginner rider or ambitious competitor — trust and quality always come first with us.
