<\/p>\nThat intense passion may eventually fade. Most parents of teenage girls sense this coming when their daughters don\u2019t want to leave the riding stable at all. Knowing full well that interests can change over time, they still encourage their young riders. <\/p>\n
Beate Schridde, riding instructor and trainer at the Steinm\u00fchle Riding School, was born into the world of horses. No one needed to inspire her\u2014her passion for horses had already been alive and well on the Schridde family farm seven years before she was born. Schridde Leistungszucht\u2014a name synonymous with show jumping! <\/p>\n
Beate Schridde’s childhood home was located on the estate in V\u00f6hrum, Lower Saxony, between Braunschweig and Hanover. She used to wake up in the morning to the sound of horses neighing and the smell of the stables. <\/p>\n
If there\u2019s anyone who has equestrian sports in her blood, it\u2019s Beate Schridde. Having later trained as a horse manager and riding instructor with an A-level coaching license, she didn\u2019t just make it her mission to pass on her passion for equestrian sports. She also developed her own enthusiasm and qualified to compete in dressage, cross-country, and show jumping\u2014both nationally and internationally. In show jumping, she even competed up to the S-class, the highest level. To this day, her heart still beats for the show jumping course. <\/p>\n
Anyone who knows exactly what a good horse must offer and be capable of, and who knows from personal experience what a rider\u2019s role should entail, is in high demand as a riding instructor and trainer. Beate Schridde has been associated with Steinm\u00fchle, where she works today, for over 15 years. The up-and-coming rider Nicola Pohl, based at Hofgut Dagobertshausen, also learned to ride here. Beate Schridde played a pivotal role in the young rider\u2019s equestrian career for several crucial years as a salaried riding instructor and FN-certified trainer for the Pohl family. Today, Nicola Pohl successfully competes in world-renowned tournaments. <\/p>\n
Beate Schridde wouldn\u2019t be Beate Schridde if she lacked the ambition to prepare not only riders but also horses to perform at their best in the dressage arena, on the show jumping course, or even on cross-country trails. While her brother Claus successfully continues the Schridde family\u2019s performance breeding program in northern Germany\u2014with six show-jumping-oriented foals expected in 2019 alone\u2014Beate Schridde devotes herself to training and riding young horses alongside her regular work. She also offers additional services such as presenting horses at mare performance tests and preparing them for stallion licensing. Training courses for beginners, those returning to the sport, or ambitious competition riders are also part of her repertoire. <\/p>\n
You can almost sense that behind all these activities, even before a regular workday begins, lies a deep passion. The joy she finds in what she does puts into perspective the time and physical effort invested by this dedicated 49-year-old, who handles maneuvering the horse trailer and trailer with such ease that it looks as if they were wheelbarrows. \u201cIt has to be that way,\u201d she remarks casually, \u201cafter all, there\u2019s valuable cargo in there.\u201d <\/p>\n
That\u2019s right. Beate Schridde has driven not only four-legged competition winners but also quite a few neighing prize winners from equestrian performance tests. \u201cLiving sports equipment\u201d\u2014each with its own personality and different needs. \u201cThat\u2019s what,\u201d says the passionate rider, \u201csets it apart from other sports.\u201d The dachshund breed is also known for having a \u201cpersonality of its own.\u201d She has two young ladies of this breed who are part of her life. <\/p>\n
