DENMARK: September 2011
This video describes important parts of the fundamental work of the horse therapist Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling. For a better and correct understanding and to avoid misunderstandings, it is important to connect the shown video with his background, which we are adding in the following lines:
Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling continues shaking up equestrians all over the world, with response in all fields like natural horsemanship, horse whispering, classical and freestyle dressage, equestrian sports, western riding, endurance and eventing. He is at the forefront of new ideas on working and interacting with horses and is known for amazing groundwork with breeding stallions, considering their special potential and necessities. He considers the horse's psyche and communicates via body language with these beautiful creatures. His first book, 'Dancing with Horses' met with overwhelming international success, especially in pleasure riding and natural riding.
One of the newest publications with huge impact is The Path of The Horse by Stormy May http://www.thepathofthehorse.com/Home.html.
One of his specialities is the work with difficult horses - he transforms dangerous, nervous, traumatized horses into cooperative companions. They recognize him as their leader, and become willing partners in groundwork and under saddle.
With a handful of known names like Monty Roberts and Pat Parelli, KFH is influencing the natural equine handling at top level.
A number of main articles on his horse work have recently been published in Horses For Life http://www.horsesforlife.com.
Very important for Hempfling is in general to interact in all field as long as the activities accord to the horses nature. He is therefore also training and coaching horse-people from fields like show jumping, baroque and artistic dressage, driving, racing, working equitation, doma vaquera and garotcha.
KFH also talks about issues like join-up, round pen, bullfight with horses (rejoneador de toro, toreros), and barefoot riding, natural hoof care, bareback riding, rein-less and bridle-less riding. His own riding system Balanced Weight Riding starts with thorough groundwork and lunging at liberty, building up the potential for the exercises of the High School Dressage (Haute Ecole), like shoulder-in, Spanish walk, passage, piaffe, half-pass, flying change, which all origin in the horses natural movements and may be performed at completely loose reins, in contrast to English dressage (represented by names like Helgstrand and Grunsven), and the conventional classical dressage (represented at Cadre Noir, the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Escola Portuguesa de Arte Equestre and the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art).
Genetic changing in breeding, horse characters and horse types are also topics in KFHs repertoire, which he employs with all horses (What Horses Reveal). You will often find him with horses of baroque breeds like Lusitano (Alter Real), PRE, Lipizzan and Friesian but he is also very attached to the natural horse types like Arabian, Criollo, Welsh Cob, Haflinger, Icelandic and Connemara. His approach is valid for all horses and everyone may feel at home in these authentic basics of Equus. In his courses therefore also riders and breeders from totally different styles are learning how to gain the friendship of their horses, often associated with breeds like Quarter, Thoroughbred, Pinto, Irish Cob, Paso Fino and other horse types.
One may say that he is meanwhile one of the leading names in the issue animal and especially horse welfare, as well as wildlife, roots in nature and animal communication.
Hempflings professional background is in the fields communication, art, theatre, music, study of native people and cultures. He lives on a small island in the Danish Archipelago where he conducts exclusive courses for people from all corners of the world.

What is the number one thing we can do to help our horses to be happy or to feel validated?

[nature2promotion]

@snoflaked On behalf of Klaus I would like to answer this with the last sentence of the video 'Wounded Horses Can't Cry': Being decided to create that which accords to yours and the horses nature. In this Klaus focusses very much to the fact of being decided. He always says: the real clear decision means the biggest step on the journey. Not so much the success on the different levels. Klaus also says always there are three important things being with horses. 1. Do less. 2. Do less. 3. Do less.

Harmón is so beauty, Hempfling is so amazing, just started on his second book, with the types...

The song is so moving, it almost makes me cry everytime i hear it, does anyone know if it is him who is singing??

[nature2promotion]

@TVABEN - yes, it is Klaus singing and playing guitar. While he was studying he used to earn money as a street musician, and that is how he started developing his style as a musician, which is pretty special. During all the different professions he had (University teacher, artist and horse communicator) he also never stopped doing music.

[tegan2mares]

I just want to say a big Thank You from Vancouver Island: to Klaus for your dedication to teaching and your gift to horses; to Natasha for filming; and to the musicians making the music that goes to this video. The music is a comfort to me on this spiraling horse-led journey. I hope Klaus someday is able to do a clinic out on the West Coast of North America. We need you here.

wonderful man..and u can tell in a flash he can "interpret" horse language perfectly..lovely indeed=) and such a beautiful horse! must be andalusian! what happened to this horse after he left??

[Jefferdaughter]

@snoflaked - Nobody in particular here, but I have a perspective on your question. Horses, I believe, are born happy & need no human validatiin. If we are not attunded to them, we often take away their natural joy of life, mostly unintentionally. Those that want to please, we often confuse. Some try their best to 'tune into' us, and can reflect our inner turmoil. To help a horse be happy, let it be a horse. Appreciate it as it is. Just my own thoughts.

[nameofthepen]

Ha ha...Harmón bosses the sheep around. Maybe he would like to become a cutting horse? :D

[rockinghorsefrm]

love the song ..... interesting that it is in English - could you post the literal verse?

[angelbabynaomi]

he is amazingly pretty

[akanewe]

Guys, Klaus is just from another world, yes the horse world, but do not fall into desperation wishing you could do the things he does. You can! it will never be easy because to do it you must first erase everything they have taught you that you have not discovered yourselves with horses. Klaus is magic! but you can create your own magic, approach a horse today from a different plane altogether. watch them in liberty in the fields, see how they are together yet in seperate groups, start there.

[DJBelbe]

@nature2promotion "do less" yes! that is definately the key! we instinctively find ourselves wanting to do more, perhaps out of fear or insecurity but it is always when we're perfectly relaxed and at ease and don't even think about what we're asking that the horse seems to read our mind and perfor his best. I only hope time and experience will teach me to have this connetion at all times and not only for brief seconds at the time.

[fleur4198]

@nature2promotion I deeply admire Klaus's work. But can't help asking one thing - many times here horse wants to play with him, invites him to the game, to make this crazy horse game body language. Does Klaus ever "answer" on such horse's invitation?

woah hes beautiful
