Jan Nivelle is currently the trainer of the spanish national team for young riders. Yesterday he held a clinic here in Madrid, Somosaguas, and we were there to get some inspiration and learn from studying and listening. I got to know Jan 2004 when I attended his clinic here in Madrid, this was also when I got to know Start that was then 5 years old. In the clinic I was riding a black PRE stud stallion not really made for dressage but that did not matter, as long as there is a problem to solve through riding Jan is interested. First he seems to scan the horse to find the weak spots. Then he figures out how to resolve the problem and invents a method if necessary. He has a open mind to the rider and is very clear in his communication and instructions. He makes an effort to see the psychology of the rider. It is obvious he finds his job as a trainer very interesting and he teaches in a lighthearted way. I remember getting great inspiration from his lessons. He is a GOOD trainer.
