Mary M. Smith, a dressage instructor in Florida,  spent a month riding at the Reitinstitut Egon von Neindorff.  This is her series of reports. 

The School

The school is located in Karlsruhe, Germany.  It really is in the center of town, only a block from the city hospital and bordered by apartments.  If it didn't have a silhouette of a dressage horse and rider on the street side of the building, one would never guess that there were horses anywhere near........  More:  The School

The Horses

There are horses of many breeds and types at the school, ranging in age from 5 years to mid-30s. The breeds include:  Lipizzan (of course), Oldenburg, Wurttemburg, Polish Warmblood, Andalusian, Trakehner, Hanoverian, Standardbred, Russian Warmblood and some crosses that no one knows the ancestry......More:  The Horses

The People

I have so many emotions about Herr von Neindorff.  When I first found out about the school about nine years ago, I didn't have a clue that "regular" people could go there.  Then when I found it was ALLOWED for "regular people" to go,  I didn't think I would ever get the chance.......More: The People

The Philosophy

The Future

There is not another school like this one in all of the world, because there is not another Herr von Neindorff.  The school will be around for a long time, maybe forever, but Herr von Neindorff will not....The Future
