Philippe Karl School of Légèreté Teachers' Course 2011 - 2013

The first Teachers' Course in North America is now complete!!  The School of Légèreté at ForTheHorse had the final exam on the 10th and final clinic, in April 2014.  Exam results will be posted here and on Philippe Karl's website as soon as they are available.

The first Teachers' Course was comprised of students from both Canada and USA.

We were so very fortunate to have Mr. Karl himself teach several of the clinics before he decided to limit his long distance travel. 

This ground-breaking, once in a lifetime, first Teachers' Course has opened doors for légèreté across Canada and USA. It has been a privilege for the ForTheHorse team to become a part of the history of the School of Légèreté!!

Teachers' Course General information

The basic training course to become a riding instructor of the School of Légèreté lasts three years and comprises three four-day clinics per year. The final exam will be held during the tenth clinic at the beginning of the fourth year. The students attend the course with their own horses. It is strongly recommended to continuously promote the training of one of the horses over the whole duration of the course, in order to judge the progress in the best possible way.
