Concluding the first day, Ullrich Kasselmann and the PSI team presented their training methods with a selection of horses that will be auctioned in their upcoming 2004 P.S.I. Auction December 11-12, 2004.
The P.S.I. youngsters guaranteed to induce the 'wow factor' as their displayed stunning movements and a high rideability.
Stefanie Kerner (aboard Dance with Me), Insa Hansen (aboard Fitou E), Eva Möller-Nolden (aboard Damenwahl) and several more riders and horses of the P.SI. team showed how they warmed up their horses while being instructed by Ullrich Kasselmann and Leonie Bramall.
Johannes Augustin demonstrated that P.S.I. likes to teach young horses to do a few steps of piaffe in hand in order to engage them from behind and give the horses a feel of the collected work (making them carry the weight on the hindquarters and learn them to sit in the collection).
