Felicitas has lived in the U.S. for 40 years working out of First Choice Farm in Maryland as an international dressage trainer and competitor. Encouraged by her mentor and employer Gene Freeze, she returned to Germany and completed her master’s degree as an instructor (Reitlehrer FN). She was first in the class with the highest scores awarded up to that point. Felicitas has trained numerous horses to Grand Prix. With Tonico do Top, a Lusitano stallion, she has won the BLM Grand Prix Championship 4 years in the row, 2012-2015 and the BLM Grand Prix Freestyle Championship for three years. They won the 2014 and 2015 Regional Grand Prix Freestyle Championship. She has won many championships on horses of different breeds. One of the most frequent compliments to her are the obvious improvement of the horse’s movement and development of their top line as they move up through the levels. She is also recognized as a rider with a beautiful position, as one can see on the cover of the book “Rider & Horse Back To Back” and throughout many of the pages inside. Felicitas has been a frequent contributor to “Dressage Today” “Dressage Today Online”. In the early years of the USDF instructors’ program, she was one of the examiners until her schedule did not allow it any longer. Felicitas is an effective and articulate clinician, whose style is sympathetic to horse and rider. Her strength lies in making the horse more beautiful and allowing them to express themselves. She is sympathetic to the horse, and each is trained according to their individual needs and temperament following classical dressage principles. Felicitas patiently encourages the horse to stretch into a soft hand, lift his back and carry his own neck, as if peering over the edge of a cliff. She bases her work on classical methods as exemplified by the best of the European tradition. Typically, participants and auditors alike benefit immensely from the creative and subtle strategies Felicitas shares with them. All leave with a better understanding of how to enhance the flow of their horse's energy from back to front, and front to back again.
