Whether it's dressage, show jumping, cross country or leisure riding, the aims are the same — getting pleasure out of riding and from your equine partner, looking after horses in an appropriate manner while achieving your personal goals. Uta Graft training concept proves that competing successfully, looking after horses appropriately and close to their natural living conditions plus training using the correct guidelines are not mutually exclusive.

"Scrape off the nod and practice fine riding." At a seminar for private members of the Germans Riding Association, Uta Graf and German Riding Association training ambassador Christoph Hess show how anyone can achieve a fine, classical riding style on motivated horses using horses of different ages and at different levels of training. Uta Graf has been a member of the B-Kader dressage team since 2011 and was on the long list for the London 2012 Olympics. Her unusual combination of ambitious dressage riding and natural horse care in groups and open stabling have made her a trailblazer of the changing attitude to the horse and dressage.

Uta Graf lives with her partner Stefan Schneider at Gut Rothenkircher Hof in Kirchheimbolanden. Christoph Hess has a degree in education, specializing in adult education and is a riding instructor by vocations (German Riding Association). He takes care of the private members and is the Germans Riding Association training ambassador. He leads courses for judges and instructors in both Germany and abroad and is a judge and trainer examiner at the highest level in Germany. He is also a distinguished international dressage and eventing judge.
