PROBLEM HORSE OR HORSE WITH PROBLEMS?
Feeling impatient, insecure, or alone?
- Are you told your horse is lazy?
- Is your horse considered more of a hothead than a reliable riding horse?
- Do you feel stuck in your progress despite hours of riding lessons?
- Does your horse snap at you?
- Have you lost the joy of riding?
- Does your horse flinch when being saddled?
- Has going for a relaxed ride, cantering across a field, or taking a dressage lesson in the riding arena become a distant memory?
Have you
failed
as a rider?
Are you left with the nagging feeling that you have failed as a horse person or failed as a rider? Is the mainstream myth of “Show them who is boss!” getting on your nerves?
THERE IS ANOTHER WAY!
Good riding is not enough!
I love horses. And I too once believed that only more riding lessons would solve all problems. The truth is, many training-related problems originate from stress, pain and feed-related deficiencies of the horse.
Did you know that over 50% of horses suffer from subtle lameness, and many behavioral issues are due to pain or postural stress? It often takes years before the underlying causes are identified. If at all! Either the horse is blamed, or you as the rider are misdiagnosed as incompetent.
Academic Art of Riding is my passion, but even more important than the excercises is how we reach our goals together with our horses. The equine well-being is the center of attention. Therefore, I offer a holistic pathway to resolve bottlenecks. I am here to be your guide.
YOUR HOLISTIC JOURNEY
Milestones for happy horses
Equidemia Online equips you with the theoretical and practical foundation for a trusting relationship and successful training with your horse. Together, we uncover causes and solve them.
If we as riders cannot explain what we're doing,
when, how and why, then we are not riders, we are just being transported.

KNOWLEDGE IS GOOD, IMPLEMENTATION IS BETTER
The potential of the academic art of riding
At Equidemia, our heart beats for the principles of the academic art of riding, grounded in scientific knowledge. This unique art of riding offers not only theoretical knowledge, but also the practical tools to understand your horse in its full uniqueness and to put its needs at the centre of your training.
Our focus is on the instructional implementation of these principles to bring your horse into its full power without force and with the full development of its potential. In this way, you can evolve within the framework of your individual abilities, as a horse-human team.
IF I HAD KNOWN THIS 10 YEARS AGO
It would have saved my horses a lot of suffering.
It goes beyond riding lessons. It takes healthy, fit horses that enjoy their work. Light as a feather communication that feels like actual thought transmission – that’s what I strive for with my students every step of the journey. Equine wellbeing is the center of attention.
You know what irritates me the most? The misleading content on social media. We see great before and after videos. But when we look closely and mute the sound, we see one thing: the horse still has as much of a pain face on the after video as before – it’s just a bit fatter.
My approach is different. With a scientific foundation and holistic approach, I help you understand your horse. I use my 25 years of knowledge of the academic art of riding along with Cranio Sacral Osteopathy and intensive science-based training in equine nutrition, behaviour, and gait analysis.
These combined skills led me to build a holistic all-round approach that has proven to be effective AND sustainable in solving human-horse problems.
It is my dream
to see fit horses and happy riders.
I do love one thing: passing on my knowledge from science and practice. Thus, I guide people like you into their power and independence. The Equidemia Online Membership was born out of this vision, so that one day we will only see horses with happy faces and clean gaits. Let’s change the horse world together.

WHY EQUIDEMIA?
Discover a new way of learning and training
- Equidemia Membership makes you independent.
Become your horse’s trainer with a clear guideline. With competence, you can take responsibility.
- The horse is my student
We don’t increase the pressure if the horse doesn’t understand something. Instead, we ask why!
- The holistic story leads to the holistic solution
Together, we clarify physiological, psychological and postural factors.
- Art of academic riding
Academic art of riding provides you with the tools to train horses in a healthy way. The path is the goal. Whether high school, basic lunging or a safe leisure horse. Here, I equip your toolbox with equestrian tools.
- Equidemia is science-based
The equestrian world is full of myths. Just because something has always been done a certain way, does not mean we should. I’m busting that.
- It´s not about having all the answers
but I know whom to ask. Equidemia regularly invites experts to share their latest insights with us.
- Life happens! But you are well equipped
I cannot guarantee that you will not face any more challenges in the future. But I can promise you that you will be well-equipped to face them competently and confidently.

I am good – but I can’t do magic. That’s why you need at least one year of commitment. You want to stay longer? No problem. After that, your subscription can be cancelled quarterly.
Your horse gets sick or something unexpected happens in your life? We downgrade you to a basic subscription. No problem, talk to me. So far we have always found a solution.
Questions? I have answers!
The membership is your online platform for self-study. You can access all content any time and in your own time. The minimum commitment is 12 months.
We want you to get going. Use the opportunity to take part in live meetings, ask questions and – if required – book Celina for 1:1 sessions.
No matter how good you are – all the knowledge-hungry people need some time to settle in. That’s why a minimum term of 12 months has proven its worth. After that, you can cancel every month.
If you decide on a plan with lessons, you can switch to passive participation at any time (e.g. if your horse falls ill, or you go on holiday).
Spots for new “implementation artists” are allocated according to availability, but are limited. You can always get lucky and snag one of the free spots in between, or add paid private lessons. Equidemia members always have priority in the allocation of teaching spots or week-student spots.
One training session lasts 30 minutes. The training units cannot be collected and must be redeemed within the calendar month. Within this month, you are fully flexible. Training sessions can be rescheduled and cancelled up to 24 hours before the session. After that, they are fully payable.
I currently offer one training weekend per month (or a second depending on availability), and free capacity every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 8:00 to 11:00 and Friday afternoon from 16:00 to 19:00 Oslo Standard Time.
You can manage your subscription yourself via your Elopage account.
Here you also find your incvoices and can change your subscription.

Above all, you have to bring one skill with you, and that is curiosity. And of course, the motivation to implement what you have learned and adapt it to you and your horse. For all questions during the process, you can use the forum, the community and the Q&A sessions.
Besides theoretical understanding, you need a lot of calmness, patience and fun in practice to change your way successfully and sustainably. No master has ever fallen from the sky!
But if you don’t start, you won’t reach your goal.
No problem. You can always purchase individual online courses or sign up for one of my live webinars. I’m sure you’ll love it! This way: to the webinars!
