Classical work in hand offers the best conditions for gymnasticizing your horse from the ground. Be it to lay the foundation for further training in a young horse or to keep a senior horse fit or to continue to work the horse sensibly in phases when you are unable to ride yourself

The face of the course - Johanna Michahelles

Johanna has been riding since she could walk. Her mother taught her the basics of riding in classical dressage and centered riding according to Sally Swift. From early 2017 to mid-2019, Maren Schulze (trainer A, examiner for amateur sport) at the "Hengsthof am Wümmegrund" gave her the opportunity to learn more about classical riding according to baroque principles and gain a lot of knowledge and increased experience with different horse breeds and training levels.
During her first encounter with La Perla in summer 2019 as a trainee, she also gained further valuable experience here, especially in the area of young horse training. From October 2021 to summer 2023 she worked with us as a rider.
