The face of the course - Sonja Ruffieux
Sonja Ruffieux from Switzerland is SFRV Trainer C and equine therapist for osteopathy and physiotherapeutic training with Maike Knifka.
She started with western riding and later switched to classical riding. Sonja attended countless dressage and show jumping courses and took part in show jumping competitions for a few years. As one of her horses was extremely demanding in her earlier years, with a lot of power and nervousness, she became more involved in groundwork and calmness training. Since 2024, she has also been passing on her knowledge of free work in the form of courses at our stud farm.
