Tierisch Gecoacht is an equine-assisted coaching and therapeutic riding practice founded by Sabine Pleger in Uetze-Altmerdingsen, Germany. Drawing on her training in coaching, equine therapy and grief support, Sabine works with horses to help clients connect with the present, explore emotions and find new perspectives. Services include individual and couples coaching, emotional coaching, therapeutic riding, grief support and group sessions. The practice also offers activities for children, including a weekly Pony Club and special “Horses and Painting” days.

Sessions take place at the Ponde-Rosi-Ranch, a small open-stall facility set in the surrounding countryside. Its riding arena and round pen support groundwork, horse-assisted exercises, creative activities and play, while a cosy hut provides space to rest and take breaks. Sabine works with a gentle herd of horses and selects the setting and animal according to each client’s needs. Her qualifications include holistic riding therapy, certified grief counselling, emotion-regulation coaching and horse-assisted coaching. Tierisch Gecoacht is licensed under Section 11 of Germany’s Animal Welfare Act, with approval from the Hanover Veterinary Office.
