Susanne von Dietze
A highly respected and well-known author in the equestrian world, Susanne is a good friend to Team Tate Academy and has shared her incredible expertise with us many times.
Susanne will do an interactive lecture Understanding Connection through Rider Position and will guide us through her Balance in Movement Equi-Chair program throughout the weekend.
Jillian Kreinbring
Equine Functional Anatomist, Jillian Kreinbring has also been a generous contributor and good friend of Team Tate Academy. Her incredible depth of knowledge and scientific background tying classical dressage principles together with science is both eye-opening and validating!
Jillian will focus on how the horse physically goes on the bit, and why this knowledge is integral to being the best rider/trainer we can be for our horses.
The (Not So) Fine Print
- We are limited in the number of people JJ can host at her farm. We anticipate that people will be travelling to us from all over the world, so at this time, we are only selling tickets for the entire 3 days, no day passes or walk-in tickets will be available.
- Tickets are non-refundable (You can, however, sell your ticket if you can't make it.)
- No need to bring your boots! This is an immersive, auditors-only learning experience.
- If you are a solo traveler, we have set up an area within the Academy website to help you connect with others who may be interested in room/ride sharing.
- We will be recording this event and will make some of it available for purchase at a later date.
