Ikigai Pferdetraining

Ikigai Pferdetraining is the practice of Nina Anita Petryk, a riding instructor and equine behavior trainer offering horse training, riding-seat coaching, and structural osteopathy. Her approach centers on kind communication, trust, positive reinforcement, and training that supports the horse’s physical and mental well-being. Services include classical dressage, classical groundwork, the SeatSense riding-seat program, osteopathic assessment and treatment, and tailored support for horses with behavioral challenges.

Nina also offers simulator sessions, courses, individual stable visits, and online coaching, making it possible to work together locally or remotely. Based in Tiefenbach, she serves the Heilbronn, Karlsruhe, Stuttgart, and Rhine-Neckar areas, with appointments also available across Germany and online. Each program is adapted to the needs and goals of the horse-and-human partnership, with an emphasis on understanding equine communication, improving movement, and finding sustainable solutions rather than quick corrections.

Ikigai Pferdetraining welcomes beginners and experienced horse owners seeking a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and supportive approach to developing their relationship and training together
