Equilumina – The Horse Festival that Ignites Emotions

Equilumina combines the magic of horses with an epic festival atmosphere. There will be shows, demos, and workshops from various trainers.

Equilumina will be a place — and more than that. An experience that lets you leave everyday life behind, immerse yourself in a world of its own, and enjoy truly special moments. You can book workshops with or without a horse, stay overnight in the camping village, and witness how horses, people, and emotions come together to create a unique festival.

Some participants will even be able to bring their own horse.

Create EQUILUMINA with us — welcome to EQUILUMINA!

About

He places great value on building an honest foundation that supports the horses’ physical and mental well-being, enabling them to grow into their athletic potential. In addition to competing at tournaments, he is also active in the show scene and has, among other achievements, won the Liberty Cup as part of the Mustang Makeover. He shares his knowledge not only on Instagram but also through seminars and his online academy. His training concept is shaped by a holistic approach that is oriented toward the nature of the horse. His goal is to use this nature to show horses possibilities with their bodies rather than limitations.

About

Thomas and Silvia represent the PRO RIDE HORSEMANSHIP teaching and learning concept for horse and human training. Thomas created the pro ride concept over 20 years ago to design, teach, and continuously develop a principle-based training framework for both horse and human. This foundational concept includes a guiding structure (the pro ride TOP6) as well as several key concepts for communication and training, such as “The 5 Qualities of an Aid and a Maneuver” or “The 5 Key Points and Main Aspects of Body Language.” The concepts are independent of riding style or horse breed and aim to achieve the best possible communication, strong horse–human relationships, and effective development of body, mind, and soul for both partners. To support this, the pro ride team offers an extensive training and course program at the training center at Gut Eichenberg near Kassel, along with demonstrations and clinics at various fairs and events, as well as an online video library featuring comprehensive instructional series. There is also a network of trainers who continue their education within the pro ride concept and help carry it forward (the pro ride CoTrainer Program), as well as ongoing exchange and collaboration with instructors from various fields of horse-human work. Silvia and Thomas are excited to be part of Equilumina and to share their knowledge and experience through workshops with and without horses.

About

For over 25 years, Pettra Engeländer has followed the call of martial arts, horses, and dance.
