What people say about these presentations:
“I liked how the type of movers were explained – understanding balance and suppleness of a horse depending on its working purpose. Showing how it looks on the horse from outside.”
“I have been just a few years in the equestrian world (3-4 perhaps) and the questions kept piling up without having someone to explain things to me. “You are asking too many questions and thinking too much” was the comment I usually got which was not what someone trained in classical philosophy and logic wants to hear 
“
“I imagine organizing all of the conference, the webinars, clinics, research and everything that goes into Equitopia is not an easy task, but these last two days you have proved once again that Equitopia is the voice of reason in this industry, and horsemanship is based on the respect for the horse´s physical and mental nature and capabilities and that our relationship with them can be based in harmony, beauty and the desire to do what it good and just.
