Felicitas von Neumann-Cosel Dressage Clinic at Beaux Reves Equestrian

don’t miss the opportunity to ride with Felicitas von Neumann-Cosel! She is amazingly creative and talented and an incredible instructor.

Since arriving from Germany in 1984, Felicitas has trained numerous horses to Grand Prix level including the famous stallion Tonico do Top. At Grand Prix level, Felicitas is able to ride her horses in a snaffle bridle in and out of the competition arena which is a testament to her principles and training approach.

She is an effective and articulate trainer, 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 his 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. Riders and auditors benefit immensely from the creative and effective strategies Felicitas shares with them.
