Well, OK, not Philippe Karl himself, but if you're interested in his methods then you're in the right place, lol! Since we started hosting Philippe's instructor training courses in the UK we've had loads of enquiries from people interested in having lessons with the man himself. Unfortunately, his existing commitments around the world mean that's just not possible. We have, however, managed to persuade one of his more experienced qualified instructors, Birgit Beck-Broichsitter, to come and teach an open clinic at Holistic Equitation on 15/16 October. Unlike Philippe's instructor training programme, this clinic with Birgit will be a one-off and so spectators can attend for one or two days without having to sign up to a full 3-year programme. It's also open to any rider (though all the riding places have been snapped up more or less as soon as it was announced!). If you would like to come and see Philippe's recommended methods of schooling in action, more info and online booking is available here: www.holisticequitation.co.uk/bbb.htmlWe look forward to seeing you in October! Best wishes, Derek

that sounds really interesting Derek, bother, we have a distance ride booked for the saturday, is there any reason there aren't observer places on the Sunday only?

Hi Nich,
Mainly because someone coming into this without any previous experience would miss out on the explanations and theory session on Saturday and so not have much of a clue about what was going on on Sunday.
Since you have already had some lessons from me that won't be a problem in your case, so if you want to come along on Sunday only, drop me an email and we'll sort something out.
Derek

No Rik, you haven't missed anything. It's a riding clinic as described above.
There is some more detailed info on the website (link as above)

Thanks, just wanted to check if there was demo at the beginning or after showing what could be achieved by the methods being taught in the clinic.

In that case, try Philippe's own 'Classical Dressage Vol 4" DVD (available from my website or direct from Amazon.co.uk), or the new "School of Legerete" DVDs (available in English from Pferdia.de - though there seems to be something up with their website at the moment...)

Hi Derek, I booked 2 spectator places for both days back on 2nd August but have not received anything from you to confirm that you are aware of the booking ... getting a bit worried that my money has disappeared into a black hole! On my Paypal instruction I also asked if you could send b&b details so even more worried that we may end up with nowhere to stay Helppp!

Hi Sooty,
Sorry you haven't received anything. I did send out a message with all the answers... do you have a spam folder that might have swallowed it?
I'll send out another copy today so please shout again here if you don't receive it.
