“Mr. Jochen Hippenstiel has been a very successful dressage Trainer in Germany and we would like to wish him all the best for his plans in the United States of America. We are sure that he will be able to set new and positive directions for the American dressage scene.”

Christoph Hess, Director of Training German FederationEquestre Nationale

“Jochen Hippenstiel is without a doubt one of the best trainers for horses and riders up to Grand Prix. He has the ability to work very individually with every rider and horse following the  successful German system of dressage training. He was so successful in training Young Riders and young horses that my own daughter, Annabell, was trained by Jochen.”

Klaus Balkenhol, previously National Team Coach for Germany and the USA.
