Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling, a passionate horse lover with a professional background in communications, theatre and dance, has shaken up the international horse world with his thought provoking theories. The basis of his work is consideration for the horse's psyche, communication via a body language that is understood by the horse, and interaction with these powerful, beautiful, dignified creatures in accordance with nature. The development of the rider's "presence" and an orientation to holistic principles is integral to this work. This charismatic author's methods of communicating with horses have been embraced by thousands of participants and onlookers at his clinics and demonstrations, and "Dancing with Horses," his first book, has been an overwhelming success throughout Europe and North America. This English language edition has been much acclaimed. Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling now has a training center on the beautiful Danish island of Lyo, offering courses, coaching and seminars.

A best-seller in Germany, Scandinavia, France, The Netherlands, Spain and the UK is now available in paperback. Beautifully packaged, the book features some 500 colour photos and a precisely defined body language programme that works for all types and breeds of horses.
