Change You & Your Horse through Five Training Pillars
Optimize your skills in groundwork, longeing, work in hand, riding and Straightness Training at liberty, so you can actualize your horse's potential!
I Know This From My Own Journey
After having some very complicated horses myself, and after years of teaching other riders, I can honestly say that unlocking a horse's true potential is one of the most fulfilling adventures you can experience in this lifetime.
I also believe that the horse world will improve immensely when more horses are developed - not only physically, but also mentally, emotionally and spiritually - by people like YOU!
People who put the well-being of the horse first.
However, if you’re seriously interested in helping your horse and willing to take some action and put some effort in, then this will be of interest to you.
You can learn how to apply the logical system of progressive exercises that can make a massive difference for you and your horse.
So let's dive in, and explore what you'll receive...
Let's STart with the Mastery Program
The Core Curriculum
To make things easy for you, I've broken down the Mastery Program into nine core training modules with supporting video content and complementary manuals.
Here’s the exact program-breakdown - and outlined a fraction of what you'll learn - so you can make sure Scholars Monthly is right for you:
Create a solid base
Discover how to counteract your horse's natural asymmetry and how to rebalance your horse with Straightness Training.
Preparation is key
Master all the tools and aids we use in ST so you know exactly when, where, why, and how to use them.
Set yourself up for success
You'll be following a series of groundwork lessons, and in each exercise I'll give you all details - I’ve left nothing out.
Get your horse fit & flexible
Learn how to stretch, contract, and relax your horse's muscles in walk, trot, and canter, and how to deal with challenges.
Unleash the magnificent giant
Discover the 'why' behind all exercises, so you do them all with essence and for the benefit of your horse.
Become working partners
Get a reliable, strong horse that can carry you easily until an old age and is a horse that you can depend on, wherever you go.
Get united as one
Synchronize with your horse and achieve complete harmony, togetherness, and oneness in your partnership.
Create understanding & motivation
Find your horse focused, interested, and strongly motivated to learn and do whatever you want your horse to do.
Find what needs to be found
You'll not walk in the footsteps of the old grandmasters, but search what they were searching and create wisdom from within.
You'll Also Get Access to the ST Evaluation Program
The ST Evaluation Program is designed to help you do the right things and do things right so you can train your horse in an effective and efficient way. In the Evaluation Program, you're not just training – you're transforming!

One Thing Can Change Your Whole Life
Now, as attractive as this membership is, not all ST enthusiasts will become Scholar.
Although that’s okay with me from a 'business' standpoint, it still bothers me personally.
You see, I know how much Scholars and their horses benefit from our program.
I read their emails, I talk to them during live sessions, I see them personally on one of my clinics, and hundreds each year tell me that becoming a STudent in The ST Academy not only changed their way of training horses, but that "it changed my whole life”.
Just listen to these STudents:
Real STories, Real Success
Hear from Scholars who have experienced breakthroughs with their horses in our membership:
Ivana Kovaříková & Spotty Doc Chex
"I love the immense scope of the Scholars program. ST has brought me to many disclosures. Finally, I have grasped the truth that I have to change from inside out to change the outcomes."
Rosan Veer & Ciaran (Merens)
"I thoroughly believe in ST because I have seen the enormous value it has to offer for riders and horses. ST has changed many lives and even saved the lives of horses who were given up on."
Maria Retyunskaya & Ave Maria (German Warmblood)
"During these years with ST, me and my horses have changed mentally and physically. I’m happy for me and for Maria. We made it together and it is not the end but the beginning of a new journey of discovery."
Anna van Rheeden & Super (Indonesian Pony)
"Without ST, our horses would still be unbalanced, muscled in the wrong places,developing navicular disease – but most of all without ST I wouldn’t have been able to develop myself as much as I did."

This is an AMAZING program. I have studied many different dressage and natural horsemanship programs - nothing helps the horses and riders to the degree that this program does. This program brings everything together. I am a lifelong student of dressage, I have read many books and been looking for the secrets of the Masters. When I had the good fortune of coming across this program, I did not hesitate to sign up.
I could see that this was what I had been looking for all these years. Dressage seems to have become such a struggle for many, and this program put everything into place for me. I no longer feel the need to look for the secrets and answers to the same degree as before, I understand what and where most of the struggle and problems are arising from. Natural Asymmetry. I now have the basic tools to fix this!
