Butterfly® Richard Hinrichs Baroque Saddle Dressage

In 2000 Richard Hinrichs together with some friends founded the institute for classical riding in Hanover. The aim of the institute is the continually revival and spreading of the classical principles of equitation as an essential component of nature- and culture-oriented quality of life in our increasingly technically advanced age.

”Only a rider, who reached his mental balance or who is able to reach this state for the handling of the horse, can create for the horse recognizable functional relationships. Only a psychologically balanced and satisfied horse is working for and not against the rider.”
