To address the real cause of your horse's problem and suffering
Help your horse, to heal their hollow- and painful back
To know how to train your horse with back problems, muscle loss, a stiff or crooked horse
Or a horse that is unsettled mentally or physically
Or has a pronounced natural asymmetrical
So that you work towards an agile, flexible and bendable body
With a correct healthy posture
With a round and firm back, so they can carry you easily again
To train for a mentally and physically healthy horse
To train your eye, so you know exactly when your horse is doing the right exercise and when they are doing it right
So that you become your fitness trainer for your horse
And you will know exactly what your horse needs

I have been a human coach for over 30 years. And am a certified International Straightness Training Instructor: the only one in France.
And a certified video evaluator in the Straightness Training Scholars Academy.
Consequently, I have the experience and unique combination of skills to help riders and horses.


People who work with me love being taught by me. They say they feel seen and heard and motivated to stretch themselves just that little bit more.


"Meeting Heleen was a joy from the first moment. Her teaching style is calm and encouraging, with a great sense of when to step back and allow things to progress or when to step in and offer more active help". Victoria Smith

‍Because of my special interest in horses with back problems, I have gained much experience in this area. I have helped many horses correcting their posture, regain agility and flexibility of body and limbs.
As well as a balanced emotional and mental state.
I have also helped healthy horses become more athletic, flexible, and balanced in their minds.

This Postural Gymnastics program will give you the tools you need and the opportunity to develop your skills for a strong foundation SO THAT:
You KNOW the real cause of your horse's suffering.
Your horse WILL DEVELOP a strong and balanced body, and a round and firm back, so he can carry you easily.
You will lay good foundation for their health and for your relationship.
You will  GET a mentally and physically healthy and balanced horse.
You will TRAIN YOU EYE, so you KNOW exactly when your horse is doing the right exercise. And when he is doing it right.
So you WILL BE your fitness trainer for your horse.
And you will KNOW exactly what your horse needs.

Finally you can work with your horse and share all those wonderful moments!

(Please note: because of the huge demand in French, I am running the French version of the program. If you like to follow the program in English please contact me).

For you: Learning is different for everyone and it depends on you how much study time you will need. To go through the program I estimate you will need about 2 to 3 hours a week.  

For your horse: To give your horse a chance to get used to the exercises I recommend you to train 3 to 4 times a week. Depending on your horse’s fitness, a training session can last 10 to 45 minutes.
The most important thing is that you work with your horse consistently, regularly, and with peace and full attention.
Quality comes before quantity. You must allow your horse to get used to the exercises, become supple, develop muscles and stamina, and understand you.
