Hempfling - Wild Stallion Becomes a Bird - Just a Poem about Horses, Nature and Life

Created by Klaus himself, this video shows in sensitive images the softness in dealing with nature in general. Wonderful, ballad-like guitar music (original directly performed). Here you see him with his Pura Raza Española (PRE) stallion Yunque.
Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling http://www.hempfling.com is a worldwide known and acknowledged horse therapist who counts to the celebrities of the horse world. He plays many instruments but especially the acoustic guitar. He has his very own authentic style (fingerstyle) which he developed as a street musician in his youth.
Hempfling has found inspiration by many of the great guitar players and musicians from the 60ies and 70ies, like Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits ), Eric Clapton who formed the first real super group Cream, Jimmi Hendrix, Paul Simon, 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). On a secondary line also the more mainstream modern Flamenco style found his interest, represented by musicians like Johannes Linstead, Jesse Cook, Luis Villegas and Juan Jose Carmona, who are perhaps more associated with world and Latin music, jazz and R&B. Also many rock artists have influenced Hempflings style like Keith Richards, Chris Rea, Chris de Burgh, Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin, Jimmi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and many icons from the rock scene.
His style is very much based on different kinds of natural and native music styles represented by Scandinavian and sami musicians like Mari Boine, the saxophone player Jan Garbarek and the northern joiking. Also music with Irish and Celtic roots as Loreena McKennit and many of the bands playing Irish Folk music have been in his repertoire of collecting creative inputs.
His way of playing the acoustic guitar is very varied, and the emotion moves from Spanish flair over Hungarian polka and Freestyle Jazz to native world music. Very characteristic is his picking style, which is a sort of signature for his music creating a gentle, light, smooth sound foundation and a relaxed feel and flow.
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.
