Christopher Conradt

Christopher Conradt was born and educated in Germany where some of his family members were closely involved with horses as veterinarians and breeders. He trained with internationally known showjumping trainer and course-designer Anthony Paalman, horse trainer and international dressage judge Gisela Holstein and Irish international event rider and coach Eric Smiley. He trained young horses to competition level in dressage, show-jumping, cross-country and eventing and he successfully re-schooled many older problem horses. He also worked for many years as designer of equestrian equipment in Ireland. In his training books he supports the natural horsemanship training principles based on trust between horse and trainer relying on understanding the horse's natural instincts and behaviours. Christopher now lives in Cyprus enjoying the sunshine, writing more how-to training material, teaching a few pupils and keeping himself fit riding his Irish Sport Horse.
