NINA GOCKELN
NINA GOCKELN
Nina was born in a family closely connected to horses. Her grandfather was an instructor for cavalry horses, her parents are into horses as well. Unsurprisingly she started riding when she was very young – even before starting to walk. Ever since her life has revolved around horses and the decision was made quite early to turn interest into profession. Monty’s concepts led her from Germany to France, Portugal and finally to the MRILC in California, where she graduated as an Instructor in 2011. Additionally she started studying human resource management in 2009, hoping to transfer the insights from both studies into each other. Today you can find Nina in Dortmund, Germany, where she is running a horse instruction business, focused on loading and transport.

FRANZISKA GOERWITZ
FRANZISKA GOERWITZ
Franziska grew up in a horse family. Her grandmother breeds Holsteiner Warmblood Horses. As a child, Franziska trained in dressage and show jumping but soon she discovered that the traditional approach in handling, riding and training horses was no longer what she wanted to be part of. That was when she read her first book by Monty Roberts “From My Hands To Yours” and when she knew that one day she would be going to America to learn Monty’s methods. After graduating as a lawyer in 2006, she started to make that dream come true and began her training with a Certified Instructor in Germany for three years. Since 2009 she runs her own horse business in Germany training and starting young horses, training remedial horses and working with young dressage and show jumping horses on big stud farms. In 2010 she began traveling to the MRILC on Flag Is Up Farms and became a Certified Instructor in 2012. Now besides training horses and coaching horse owners all over Germany, Franziska is a member of the Instructors Committee and she offers Monty Roberts Courses.

LUCIA EBERT
LUCIA EBERT
Horses have been her passion since she was a little girl. She took her first riding lessons at the age of five and she was only 12 when she got her first horse. This mare wasn’t the easiest – This horse taught her that trust and willingness only can only be achieved when communication in a shared language takes place. The connection with Monty’s methods approved, deepened and widened her already acquired understanding of the horses. In March 2014 Lucia became a Monty Roberts Certified Instructor. She lives in Marburg, in the center of Germany and works with young and problem horses and is looking forward to teach courses and sharing Monty’s methods.
