My name is Ute and I am a German living in India. Horses have always been an important part of my life and I started proper riding lessons when I was eight years old even though I have ridden before that. For many years I had a lease horse and when I moved to India I started working in a stable with thirty Marwari horses. I soon bought my own horse, a chestnut stallion called Suraj. He was the first horse I trained and backed. He turned into a beautiful riding horse, unfortunately leaving this world far too early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I decided to permanently move to India, my husband and I started to purchase our own horses and build up our riding stable and small Marwari breeding center. I took care of the horse training and the raising of our foals and young horses, a job I enjoyed a lot. Soon I turned to Natural Horsemanship in order to help me with my training and ground work. I read everything I could get my hands on and attended a few courses in order to learn some of the basics. My methods are a mix of different training principles. I took what I liked and what worked for me from different trainers. I am open-minded and love to learn new things all the times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I started this blog in order to document my journey with horses and maybe inspire the one or other of you in your work with a young horse. I am not sure yet in which direction it will develop, that only the future will show, but it will give you the opportunity to be part of my journey with horses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The more immediate reason to begin here and now is that a friend of mine has brought her horse to me for training and I will first and foremost document the work I am doing with him. I might also include other thoughts in here and tell more about my work with my foals, fillies and other horses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides working with horses, I am also a writer and a podcaster. I have so far published a couple of short stories and I am working on my first novel. I am also planning an E-book about horse training eventually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am co-host of the Equestrian Adventuresses Podcast, a show about horses, travel and adventures. If you feel you would like to listen, just click on the link:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
