Personal requirements for attendance<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”Can I participate only in the theoretical part?”]Yes, of course. You can participate in and benefit from the theoretical part, and gain valuable insights by observing the practical training, listening to the explanations of the trainers and developing your documentational skills. We strongly recommend to rework the workshop\u2019s topics at home.<\/p>\n

A place for the theoretical part only costs \u20ac250 including VAT, freshly cooked lunch, drinks and snacks.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”Is the Training Specialist for Equines for horse trainers only?”]No, anyone who is interested in the scientific background knowledge of modern animal training and developing his\/her training skills is welcome at the workshops.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”What are the prerequisites for the workshops?”]Currently, there is no common standard for trainers with positive reinforcement in horse training.<\/p>\n

You should be familiar with the scientific background of classical and operant conditioning, e.g. the four quadrants, primary and secondary reinforcers, Matching Law, response cost, and so on (Viviane Theby\u2019s ‘Verst\u00e4rker verstehen<\/i>‘ is recommended reading).<\/p>\n

With regard to the practical part you should have already mastered basic training skills like good coordination of clicker and feeding, and be able to teach a horse a solid basic stance from which to start from.<\/p>\n

If we have never met before under training conditions, I kindly ask you to call me prior to your application, so we can determine whether or not this training format is adequate for you.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”Is it important to have already participated in the Chicken Camps?”]No, this is not a prerequisite. However, a Chicken Camp background helps a lot when starting the TSE.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”Organisational matters”]The fee per two-day module is \u20ac360, which includes VAT, a freshly cooked lunch each day and snacks and soft drinks. You can find the details for each module with dates and rates in our online shop<\/a>.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”How many modules are there?”]Each series of the TSE currently consists of ten subsequent modules. The first seven lay the foundation, and modules eight to ten deal with complex training tasks and a deeper understanding of the topics of the previous modules.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”What are the topics of the modules?”]<\/p>\n

    [\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”What shape does a module take?”]In the modules, practice and theory units alternate. During the theory, the respective topic is discussed on the basis of the current tasks. We reflect on the previous practice unit, and talk about problems, solutions and insights. During the practical units each participants learns three ways: to train a horse, to assist as a co-trainer and to observe and document \u2018from the outside\u2019.<\/p>\n

    The workshops take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on both days.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”Do I need to book all 10 modules?”]No, you can choose whatever topics you are interested in. However, in order to receive the TSE certificate, you need to take part in all modules in the right order.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”Do I need to book all modules in the correct order?”]In order to complete the entire training, all modules must be completed in the appropriate order with horse. However, it is also possible to participate only in individual modules. In this case it is necessary for the participant to have acquired the knowledge and skills of the previous modules in another appropriate way. Therefore, you are required to consult with us prior to your enrolment, and, if necessary, submit a training video.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”How long does the TSE take to complete?”]The TSE stretches over a period of one and a half years, with one module every two months, respectively one double-modules every four months, depending on the format.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”Can I switch between single and double modules?”]Yes, of course, provided you stick to the correct order of the modules. We have already uploaded all dates for 2018 and 2019, so can go to our webshop and plan ahead.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”Is there any difference between single and double modules?”]No, there is no difference. You can freely choose the format that suits you best.

    Successful learning by…<\/h2>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”What does that mean: intensive coaching during practical units?”]A special feat of the TSE is the presents of several training pros: The instructors Linda Veltkamp and Nina Steigerwald, as well as varying TOP trainers of the \u2018Tierakademie Scheuerhof\u2019. \u00a0Thus, you have a competent contact at any time and stage during your training for feedback and backup.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”What do you mean by \u2018homework\u2019?”]The homework is intended to further intensify and extend the skills of the respective module.<\/p>\n

    Training is a craft. This statement by Bob Bailey encourages us train as often as possible. The more often you put your knowledge into practice, the faster your skills will improve.<\/p>\n

    Homework is captured on video and uploaded to the group’s own Facebook group. This is used to reflect on short video clips from one’s own training and collect insights from the group. If you do not have a Facebook account, we will find an appropriate alternative.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”I do not own a horse. How can do the homework, then?”]In order to complete the homework you do not necessarily need to train your own horse. Ask around, if a friend or neighbour is willing to give you his\/her horse for training. This creates a beautiful win-win-win situation for all involved.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    My four-legged training partner in the modules<\/h2>\n

    [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”Do I need to bring my own horse?”]No. If you come from a great distance or your horse is not a professional traveller, it makes much more sense to train with one of our horses. It is only \u20ac25 per day, and you have a professionally prepared training partner on-site.<\/p>\n

    In order to receive the certificate, you need to rehearse and video shoot the tasks from the respective modules at home.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”0px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”What does my horse need to know to be able to participate in a module?”]It is indispensable that your horse gets easily on a trailer, at home as well as abroad. It should know how to solidly stay in a basic stance (we call it \u2018wait politely\u2019) no matter where the trainer positions him- or herself.<\/p>\n

    If the horse has physical disabilities, we should talk about appropriate tasks beforehand.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top=”20px” bottom=”20px”][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”Are there accommodations for my horse at the Steigerwald Ranch?”]Yes, there are visitors paddocks available with electric fence and a three-meter distance between the adjacent paddocks. There is haylage for the horses, and, if the season permits, pasture access.<\/p>\n

    It lies in the responsibility of the owner to care for his horse, provide food and water, and clean the paddock after use. Please bring your own water bucket.<\/p>\n

    Paddock rent is \u20ac15 per day.<\/p>\n

    In order to have a stress-free training module you should only bring your horse, if it trailer-loads easily and calmly.[\/vc_toggle][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
