I've been a PIB member since the very beginning, and training with Carolin even long before it's inception. I love Carolin's calm and grounded nature. No matter what you are working on, she always seems to have a solution and a new path to try. She can always clearly explain the why's and how's of any exercise or changes she wants to see in your horse. Not only do I gain help with my own horses, but as a trainer, I have learned better ways to communicate with my own students. Carolin can always turn a negative situation into a positive and always leaves you feeling like no matter how much improvement you need, that it's attainable and points out beautiful moments in your training to strive for more of. I have had several of my own students join the PIB membership, as it only makes my job easier when they have her feed back as well, and I feel super comfortable sharing my own clients with such a respectful professional."

About Me I’m Carolin, the founder and trainer behind Pferde in Balance (PIB). My journey with horses is driven by a lifelong passion for their well-being and a desire to create healthy, balanced, and harmonious partnerships between horses and their riders. Through PIB, I combine classical dressage principles with modern biomechanics to ensure that every horse I work with develops physically, mentally, and emotionally. One of my greatest joys is seeing my horses happily welcoming me, with their curious and open minds ready to enter into a dialogue. It feels like heaven when we smoothly flow forward together, moving in pure harmony. I love feeling their consent and trust, especially in more challenging situations. These moments of connection, where they willingly choose to engage with me, are the foundation of true partnership. There’s something truly heartwarming about watching them choose my company just to be with me. This is what warms my heart and makes all the work so fulfilling. When the horse understands and is motivated, movement becomes almost effortless. The body moves weightlessly, with power, suppleness, and a harmonious, swingy quality. Watching a horse find and embrace correct biomechanics is deeply fulfilling, as it unlocks their natural potential and well-being. I’m constantly evolving in my work, learning especially from Belinda Bolsenbroek and Claudia Wolters at the moment. My approach to training is shaped by the knowledge and techniques I gain through these mentors, as well as years of hands-on experience. I’m a qualified Equine Manual Therapist and Equine Physiotherapist through the DIPO – Deutsches Institut für Pferde-Osteopathie, and I’ve worked as a licensed Straightness Training instructor and evaluator with the Straightness Training Academy. At Pferde in Balance, I offer various membership options to meet the needs of riders at different stages. Whether you're just beginning or looking for more personalized guidance, my aim is to help you and your horse develop trust, balance, and elegance in every step. My goal is not only to create healthy, happy athletes but also to nurture the relationship between horse and rider—mentally, emotionally, and physically—by allowing the horse to move in harmony with its own body, where true effortlessness and mutual trust can be achieved.

Welcome I'm so glad you're here. I’m Carolin—devoted to the quiet magic that unfolds when horses and humans truly meet. In my world, training begins with understanding. It’s built on trust, awareness, and subtle dialogue—a shared language that allows horse and human to move together in connection and consent. But from this foundation, we go further. With each thoughtful step, we shape not just the partnership—but the horse’s body, posture, and coordination. Rooted in the principles of classical dressage and guided by the intelligence of healthy biomechanics, I support horses in developing self-carriage, dynamic spinal alignment, and an engaged thoracic sling. We aim for tensegrity—a whole-body harmony where strength and suppleness meet, and movement becomes effortless and free. We work with the whole horse—physically, mentally, emotionally. From basic yields and coordination to advanced lateral work, transitions, and collected movements, everything is taught through feel, rhythm, and progressive understanding. We shape clarity without force. Precision without pressure. Power that grows from within. Every horse is different. Every path is unique. Whether you're just beginning your journey or already exploring the beauty of more advanced movements, I meet you and your horse where you are—and help you unfold the next chapter, together. I keep learning every day. From the horses. From the humans. And from the wisdom of horsewomen and horsemen who continue to inspire me—Belinda Bolsenbroek, Claudia Wolters, Zaneta Georgiades, Karen Rohlf, Yvet Blokesch, and many others. Their insights echo in my work, but the deepest truths often reveal themselves in the quiet in-between—when we slow down, tune in, and truly feel. ✨ Curious where your path could lead?
