Created by Klaus himself, this video shows in sensitive images the softness in dealing with horses and nature in general. The guitar music is directly performed. Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling is a worldwide known and acknowledged horse therapist who counts to the celebrities of the horse world (‪‪http://www.hempfling.com/.‬‬ Less known is his passion for music he plays many instruments but especially the acoustic guitar is really like a part of him. He has his very own authentic style which he developed as a street musician in his youth, where he very early stood on his own and had to make a living. On the little Danish island where he lives you will sometimes here singing or drumming and percussion in the streets near his house then you know: Klaus is at home. Some might ask what this has to do with the horses? Well, you could maybe say Not a lot, but then again, being with the horses has to do with living here and now, not being occupied with the past or worrying about the future, and to achieve that, the soul need to express itself to give space for positive energies. So, to sum it all up, expressing yourself and your feelings through any kind of art, including music, is very essential for an authentic and integer appearance, and that is what the horses believe in and trust. Hempfling, with his professional background in communications has shaken up the international horse world. He is working with these powerful, dignified creatures in accordance with nature. The development of the rider's "presence" and an orientation to holistic principles is integral to this work.
Klaus has the ability to "know" a horse within a few seconds and within a few minutes of the first meeting, he establishes a relationship so firmly that anything after that is completely based on trust.
Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling (The Horse Seeks Me) is touching equestrians worldwide, with response in fields like natural horsemanship, horse whispering, classical and freestyle dressage, equestrian sports, western riding, endurance, eventing and horse riding in general. He is at the forefront on working and interacting with horses and is known for authentic and effective groundwork according to the horses nature, often proved and documented with stallions (breeding stallions). He considers the horse's psyche (horse psychology) and communicates via body language with these beautiful creatures. His first book, 'Dancing with Horses' met with overwhelming success, especially in pleasure riding and natural riding. 
Klaus lived with wild horses in wilderness to observe their animal language and natural horse behaviour. In the beauty of this nature he developed his principals of the first encounter of human and horse. One of his specialities is the work with difficult and aggressive horses. Hempfling transforms dangerous, nervous, traumatized horses into cooperative companions. They recognize him as their leader, and become willing partners in groundwork and under saddle.
One may say that he is meanwhile one of the leading names in the issue animal and especially horse welfare and horse passion and love, as well as horses in wildlife, roots in nature and animal communication. The German TV programme called him one of the most important horse whisperer of the world.
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. Hempfling has found inspiration by many of the great guitar players and musicians from the 60ies and 70ies, like for example Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits a band of which even Jon Bon Jovi was great fan), Eric Clapton who formed the first real super group Cream, Jimmi Hendrix, Paul Simon who was the leading musician in Simon & Garfunkel, Santana and Robert Johnson (many of these artists are represented by Warner Bros. Records / Warner Music Group and Universal Music Group). KFH also enjoys Spanish Flamenco guitarists like Paco de Lucía, Tomatito, Vicente Amigo, Chicuelo (who often played with the Flamenco singer Miguel Poveda). In the past years Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling developed a more and more original musical expression with much improvisation and sometimes an unplugged touch. His style is very much based on different kinds of natural and native music styles represented by for example Scandinavian and sami musicians like the singer Mari Boine, the composer and saxophone player Jan Garbarek and the northern joiking. Also music with Irish and Celtic roots as for instance Loreena McKennit and many of the bands playing Irish Folk music have been in his repertoire of collecting creative inputs. His way of not regarding the rules of music theory sometimes make you think of people like Keith Jarret.
