Theory & Practice: A Combination at the Heart of the Philosophy

Wilfried Gehrmann always focuses on the combination of theory and practice. The trainer must have both the theoretical knowledge and the practical skills to work a horse on the double lunge. If this is given, the double lunge can also be integrated into the work with young and older horses as well as when re-training problem horses. Wilfried Gehrmann works on everything, from basic training to the most advanced movements such as piaffe and passage, on the double lunge.

To this day the "double lunge maestro" passes on his knowledge to other riders and helps them develop the skills they need to work their horse correctly on the double lunge themselves. The videos by Wilfried Gehrmann give detailed instructions for working on the double lunge and provide important knowledge and valuable tips for beginners and advanced riders alike.
