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 and liberty work. 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, 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, Pura Raza Española horse (PRE), and Friesian but he is also very attached to the natural horse types like Arabian, Criollo, Welsh Cob, 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, Appaloosa, Mustang, Irish Cob, Paso Fino, Saddlebred 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.

  • This is so inspiring. Imagine horse trainers learning these methods throughout the world. It's a blessing.

  • His books are amazing!!!

    

  • How in the world does he get that horse to follow him!?

  • His videos and work is wonderful ! I have a thoroughbred that was difficult to handle. Now I can walk and work with him at liberty. It is not so difficult as it seems. Just be yourself and recognize the personality of your horse. It's true, it changes the relationship between you and your horse.

  • Beutiful Horsemanship ! Great video absolutely fabulous and beutiful video !

  • he's beautiful horse!

  • Can this really be as good as it looks?! I hope so! Other "horsemen" who use "horse psykology" or whatever they call it, often show up their skills in arenas with music and people clapping hands, and they make their horses do all kind of unnecessary stuff. But Klaus doesn't seem interested in that kind of thing, he don't wanna use his skills for personal winning. He just wanna be with horses, give them a good life, make them proud and then learn other humans how to be with them!
