Painting of Maestoso II Catrina ridden by Shana Ritter. Painting by Janey Belozer.
Quotes of Egon von Neindorff


  • "Brutality begins where skill ends."

  • "Correctly understood, work at the lunge line is indispensable for rider and horse from the very beginning through the highest levels."
    (1971c; translation: T. Ritter)

  • "Of course, the first lessons at the lunge line require an assistant. He leads the horse as quietly as possible, and talking to him calmly, with the rein or the cheek piece of the bridle to the envisioned circle line. Once the horse has settled in, the assistant follows him, carrying visibly a lunge whip, in order to maintain the forward motion as soon as he balks."
    (1971c; translation: T. Ritter)
