Walter Zettl

Reddemeade has a long and cherished relationship with Walter Zettl.

Without question our chief mentor, Walter made regular trips to Reddemeade to train us and our students for 18 years.  Our teaching philosphy is based heavily on the principles set forth in Walter's book, Dressage in Harmony From Basic to Grand Prix. This is required reading for everyone who desires to find the highest level of horsemanship, and we are proud of the role we played in helping bring it to publication.

Don't miss Walter's second book:

"Circle of Trust" Released Nov 15, 2007

We are proud, also, of our role in the publication of the book "The Circle of Trust: Reflections on the Essence of Horses and Horsemanship" by Walter Zettl with Paul Schopf and Jane Seigler, Halfhalt Press, 2007. This book explores the duties and responsibilities of everyone involved in a horse's life, from breeder to trainer, rider, instructor, groom, stable manager and judge. A must read for all who take seriously their responsibilities to their horses and to their sport. Copies are available from Halfhalt Press and from our website. Order now
