I am a passionate dressage rider and haven’t been involved with ground work at all so far. I found Fenja number by chance and wanted to try out “ground work”. I thought it was nonsense and wasn’t expecting much. Pretty quickly I realized that I was very wrong – despite my many years of experience in the horse world I learned so many new things in my first lesson alone. The training brought me closer to my mare and she has been mich more motivated in our normal daily training because of it.

I can highly recommend Fenja as a teacher. She explains everything in a relaxed and detailed way that makes sense to my horse and myself. The training with her is fun for both my mare and myself 🙂

My mare Hely and I haven’t really found a way to communicate with each other yet. Fenja has helped us greatly improve our communication and is very empathetic towards both horse and human. She perceives even the smallest ‘communication errors’ that can lead to misunderstandings and helps us eliminate them. We haven’t worked together that much yet but would like her continued support.

Dear Fenja, many thanks! Keep up the good work!

Fenja was always at my side whenever there was a misunderstanding between my mare and me. In our first couple months together, we had a lot of misunderstandings. So many that I became fearful of my mare. With a calm demeanor and lot of patience Fenja usually managed to calm me down before she showed be a lot of helpful and horse friendly Tipps and tricks to prevent our misunderstandings and build up trust again. She never let me down and walked my mare across the barn in every weather, when I’d just stand there paralyzed with tears in my eyes, simply because I thought I couldn’t overcome my fear. She showed me that my mare was neither evil nor dangerous, as I thought at first. There were simply many mistakes in our communication and we weren’t a very good team yet.

Fenja helped us back to a place of mutual trust.
