In 2004, she won the BLM Championships at Fourth Level on Roulette, a 1996 Oldenburg. In 2006, they won the BLM finals at PSG and Reserve Champion at Intermediare I. Felicitas currently shows Roulette at Grand Prix -- they debuted in April 2007 with a score of 70%.Much more is expected from Roulette and Felicitas in the coming years.
She is an effective and articulate clinician, whose style is sympathetic to the horse. Her strength lies in ?making the horse more beautiful, and allowing them to express themselves.? She is sympathetic to the horse and each is trained according to his individual needs and temperament following classical dressage principles. Felicitas patiently encourages the horse to stretch into a soft hand, lift his back and carry his own neck ?as if peering over the edge of a cliff?. She bases her work on classical methods as exemplified by the best of the European tradition. Typically participants and auditors alike benefit immensely from the creative and subtle strategies Felicitas shares with them. All leave with a better understanding of how to enhance the flow of their horse's energy from back to front, and front to back again. The skills of Felicitas as a clinician will soon be available on-line from ?dressageclinic.com.?
Along with Gerhard Politz, Michael Poulin, Debbie Bowman and Steffen Peters, she has been a USDF Examiner for the Instructor?s Certification program.In her native country of Germany, Felicitas placed first in class when completing her "Reitlehrer" (federally certified instructor) certification. She also graduated with the highest score ever awarded since the program was upgraded by the German government in 1982.
In addition to her training and clinic activities Felicitas maintains a vigorous working student program. Prominent competitors such as Teresa Butta and Brendan Curtis (from the Robert Dover TV reality show) in addition to Marjorie Davis have been trained through this program.
