about the Author

My name is Johanna Thanheiser, and I live in Austria with my family and three horses. After studying applied arts for film and theater architecture (scenography and model making, University of Fine Arts Vienna) and agricultural science (University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna), I turned my hobby into my profession and became a horse trainer. Due to physical challenges with my own horses, I eventually specialized in health-promoting biomechanics after numerous advanced training courses in the Netherlands, Germany, and online courses in the USA.

Through the analysis of movement patterns in videos and documentation of years of processes, as well as acquired knowledge, several essential connections for healthy movement became clear. Based on these insights, I later founded the Equisensomotoric training concept to provide clients with a tangible guide. The name Equisensomotoric emphasizes not only an analytical approach from movement theory and the health goals of sensorimotor skills, but also the factor of feeling movement—the sensory aspect of motorics.

I hope that this content will serve many as another useful approach to horse training for maintaining their health. All of this content came about because I wish I had had these instructions from the beginning with my first horse. I hope they now serve you and your horses as a helpful resource.

Johanna
