'There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man' -Winston Churchill

"My equestrian adventure began over 10 years ago, when my friend persuaded me to go horses and

we came across Legia Kozielska to Mr. Witold Modliński - I still remember singing

songs in practice trot to prove that I'm breathing properly!

In 2011 I became a client of SKJ Poland Park. It was a time of very intensive development -

I learned to cooperate with Dereczek, Cyrano etc., until finally my skills allowed for

assigning me a more difficult horse. This is how I met my greatest love - Bean - it was in her

2012 I passed the BOJ exam and started in the First League of Poland Park.

In the meantime, I fell in love with another horse - Basel, who lived in a stable in the mountains - when

I met her when she was 3 years old - there I learned the basics of working with young horses and I had a crazy experience

moments during rallies.

My riding skills have been developed over the years by many people with whom the Club cooperated

(including Mr. Trainer Wacław Pruchniewicz) but since 2012 he has been watching over my progress

first of all, the trainer Joanna Rutkowska - Grzeszczuk, who introduced me to the world

horse control, then jumping, then dressage. It is her merit what kind of rider

(and instructor) I am.

Thanks to the knowledge and skills gained over the years in the club, I enrolled immediately after graduating from high school

I took the instructor's course and I passed all the exams. After completing the course, I got my first one

instructor work in which I gained experience and skill.

In working with my pupils, I put great emphasis on understanding - I know that when the rider understands why

he has to do something then his motivation grows and knowledge becomes easier to assimilate. I teach

their riders how firmness can go hand in hand with sensitivity and respect for the horse as

autonomous unit.

I study psychology on a daily basis - thanks to this, I gain additional skills and knowledge

uses the instructor at work."
