Sibylle Weimer. Sibylle Wiemer, born 1959, has dedicated her life to horses and to the training of riders and lovers of horses. Tolerance, circumspection and patience characterise her lessons. She has a degree in Trainer A in Riding (Riding Teachers degree of the German Equestrian Federation (FN)), Trainer B in Horse Schooling and Trainer C in Vaulting and has been teaching since 1986. Since 1992, she has been in charge of a large, renowned therapy and Dressage stable in Fintel (Rotenburg district, Germany).

Her work is based in particular on a thorough knowledge of training methods, muscle formation and gymnastics for horses. She also completed several training courses in Therapeutic Riding and Riding for Health. The prevention of illnesses, especially tension in the back and other stress-related afflictions, is as much a part of her repertoire as techniques and measures for the rehabilitation of disabled people. Since 2000, Sibylle Wiemer has been forming Therapeutic Riding Instructors in cooperation with the Deutsches Behinderten Sportverband (DBS) (German Disabled Sports Association).

Since 1986, Sibylle has completed several further education courses with Eckhart Meyners. The seat of the rider is therefore the second main point of her work. With the help of gymnastics and various exercises, she assists the rider on their way to a relaxed, independent and supple seat.

Since 1998, she has been riding with Monsieur Philippe Karl. She is an honorary member of his "School of Légèreté". The distinction "Honorary Member of the School of Légèreté" is awarded to people who are especially committed to the School of Légèreté and promote its propagation. Lightness and harmony have since characterised her lessons. A thorough knowledge of the biomechanics of the horse, the psychology of learning and comprehensive experience with a great number of different sequences of exercises further add to her teaching.
