About Kiki Kaltwasser
"I truly believe in the old European Masters of Riding and biomechanically correct riding. May favourite quote is from Gustav Steinbrecht (The Gymnasium of the Horses): "Straighten your horse and ride it forward" - This is the ground laying advice from Steinbrecht to always work on the horses balance. With the Equi-Gym Training we have a great tool to achieve this." Kiki Kaltwasser

which I could all meet in person. Some I worked for or had a long term of lessons, some only for a short period" :
