Insights in Klaus work with breeding stallion in training. Hempfling, with his professional background in communications has shaken up the international horse world. http://www.hempfling.com. 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). His stallion training enables a very controlled natural mating of mares. He also often works with young green horses, colt as well as filly, and his gentle and natural preparation for further training and riding makes very happy horses. 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. In the book 'What Horses Reveal' he describes his unique Horse Characterization system of 26 different horse types which is a great help for everyone dealing with horses to understand them better. The KFH Horse character system and horse profile is also often applied on horses for sale to ensure matching to the right person and at studs to ensure the optimal pedigree. 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 the newest publications is "The Path of The Horse" by Stormy May http://www.thepathofthehorse.com/Home.html, where Hempfling is portrayed together with Alexander Nevzorov, Mark Rashid, Linda Kohanov and Carolyn Resnick. 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. Also in the baroque dressage he is discussed along with names like Bent Branderup, Richard Hinrichs, Philippe Karl, Anja Beran, Sherry Ackermann and Nuno Oliveira. The KFH 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 (bareback riding, rein-less and bridle-less riding), in contrast to the main procedure in 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 important topics in KFH's repertoire, which Hempfling employs with all horses (What Horses Reveal). You will often find him with horses of baroque breeds like Lusitano horses (Alter Real), Pura Raza Española horses (PRE), Lipizzan horses, Knabstrup and Friesian horses but he is also very attached to the natural horse types like Arabian, Criollo, Welsh, Welsh Cob, Haflinger, Icelandic and Connemara. 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. His stallion training enables a very controlled natural mating of mares with Breeding Horses. He also often works with young green horses, colt as well as filly, and his gentle and natural preparation for further training and riding makes very happy horses. In the book 'What Horses Reveal' he describes his unique Horse Characterization system of 26 different horse types which is a great help for everyone dealing with horses to understand them better. The KFH Horse character system and horse profile is also often applied on horses for sale to ensure matching to the right person and at studs to ensure the optimal pedigree.

  • Hey, this is beautiful, and I'm sure Hempfling is really good at what he does, but I'm not getting anything from this. Nice horses and music.

    Could you please upload some more instructionals, some we can learn from? A clear phrasing of his basic philosphy, his attitude when first meeting a horse, for ex? I'm referring to the great Monty Roberts: You may find many videos picturing his Join-Up method with simple phrasing, so we may learn from it. Would be great to see the same from Hempfling. =)

  • @runningforit9 Thank you for your comment. We will take care even more about this Point. Have you seen these clips: Collecting a Stallion at Liberty / Aggressive Stallion Tamed / His Powerful, Gentle Leading or Horse be Safe? Thanks again and all the best.

see all

  • @nature2promotion Yes I would also like to get some more instructional type of video's ... or some philosophic cornerstones maybe.

    I did some horseback riding when I was very young and I'm planning to pick it up again... but it's very hard to find some material on youtube that gives some handles about (for example) how to gain a horse's trust and other basics. Thanks for the videos anyway!

  • @nature2promotion I will have a look at them =)

    Thank you for your reply.

  • Stunningly beautiful creature!

  • @DanzarinoV
