Christoph Hess

I was an international dressage and eventing judge for 30 years. Today I am a national judge up to Grand Prix, trainer and presenter.

It all started with my pedagogy studies in Göttingen, from which I still benefit today in training with small and large, young and experienced riders.

In 2019 I received the German Equestrian Cross in Gold and was appointed Training Ambassador by the FN.

One of the most important principles of my training is: horse and rider should BOTH have fun and be or remain motivated.
I pick up each horse and rider at the point where they are in their performance capabilities.

During my training, I focus on the individual needs of the horse and rider. I encourage their talents and strengths. I see one of my challenges as showing solutions to overcome weaknesses.

There is hardly a country in Western and Eastern Europe where I have not worked as a trainer or judge. And I am also well known outside of Europe - I have often traveled to the USA, Canada, South Africa and Australia.

Internationally, my fame has also grown through my social media channels. Since 2022, I have been active on Facebook , Instagram and TikTok and answer a wide variety of questions about horses and riding from my community.
