Philippe Karl, master of equitation and advocate of „Légèreté“, is a worldwide popular instructor. In his clinics, he sensitively, but consequently teaches the basics of classic equitation.

Both films produced by pferdia tv open up the possibility of witnessing Philippe Karl while working with his pupils – all of them are licensed and future instructors of his School of Légèreté. He teaches riders like you and me with horses we all know, from appealing cart horses to talented Haflingers and noble competition horses. Philippe Karl expressively adapts to the individual training standard of each horse-rider combination.

In both volumes of the film, all subjects in the consequent and systematic training of a horse will be developped: From first exercises that stimulate the mouth and bending work, work in-hand and the development of stretching into self-carriage under the saddle, lateral movements up to the preparation and development of piaffe and passage. Due to the variety of different teaching situations and the presentation of different horse-rider-combinations, everybody can easily understand the „School of Légèreté“, providing valuable solutions for everybody ’s own riding. The aim is an all-round trained horse that easily responds to the rider ’s aids any time.
