Erich

Erich Ellinger bei einer ModeartionErich Ellinger comes from the very renowned riding school Hölzel in Stuttgart, southern germany. His teacher were Manfred and Wolfgang Hölzel, famous trough their worldwide published books “Das Reitabzeichen” and many more. Erich was influenced by his teachers who always attracted attention by their excellent jumping style, an extraordinary good seat and their sensitve and finetuned influence on the horses.

His concept is that good riding is a combination of the following points: Erich Ellinger
  • Ability
  • Knowledge
  • Feeling
  • Patience
Erich Ellinger continues that. He sets great value in correct riding in the classical way, developing a good seat and a very fine way of using the aids.
People who have these qualities will be able to improve their riding. Talent and diligence are two other very important things. Erich’s lessons always have the purpose that the student is working with the horse and not against it.

“Auxiliary reins are made for auxiliary students”, is also something you can hear very often when you try to cheat with artificial tack.

„Good riding is nothing else than training with my body the body of the horse. Trough the classical way I am able to reach with every horse an individually good result.“
