Gerd Heuschmann, DVM trained as a Bereiter (master rider) in Germany before qualifying for veterinary study at Munich University. There he specialized in equine orthopedics for two years before accepting a post as the head of the breeding department at the German Equestrian Federation, which he eventually left to start his own practice in Warendorf. He has been an active member of the “hyperflexion” (previously referred to as Rollkur) debate, weighing in at the 2005 USDF National Symposium and the 2006 FEI Veterinary and Dressage Committees’ Workshop. His arguments have been featured in many magazines, including Dressage Today and Horse and Hound. Along with Klaus Balkenhol and other prominent figures in the dressage community, Dr. Heuschmann is a founding member of “Xenophon,” an organization dedicated to “fighting hard against serious mistakes in equestrian sport”. [From “Tug of War…”.]
He is the author of the following books and DVD which are the basis for his lectures:
Collection or Contortion?: Exposing the Misconceptions and Exploring the Truths of Horse Positioning and Bend, Trafalgar Square Books (February 14, 2017) 112 pages.
Tug of War: Classical Versus “Modern” Dressage: Why Classical Training Works and How Incorrect Riding Negatively Affects Horses’ Health, Trafalgar Square Books (September 2007) 143 pages.
Balancing Act: The Horse in Sport—An Irreconcilable Conflict? (book) Trafalgar Square Books (July 2012) 256 pages.
If Horses Could Speak, 60 minute DVD with unique 3-D animation which clearly demonstrates the principals in the book.
He also provides margin notes and commentary in the book:
Classical Schooling with the Horse in Mind: Gentle Gymnastic Training Techniques, Trafalgar Square Books (October 2007) 192 pages.
Dr. Gerd is one of Jen's mentors and he and she enjoyed co-teaching a clinic in Minnesota in 2016.
