2012 Dressage Cruise Guest Speaker
|
Dr. Christian Schacht
Dressage and show jumping judge,
Breeding Director, Oldenburg N.A.
As a highly respected judge, trainer, veterinarian, and author, Dr. Schacht brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our educational seminars.
His judging background includes the qualification tests for the German Bundeschampionat for both dressage and eventing, as well as several CSI (show jumping) competitions in Germany. As Breeding Director of ISR/Oldenburg North America,
he officiates at nearly 60 mare and foal inspections in the USA and Canada each year.
Once an auction rider at Vechta and champion competitor, he went on to earn his veterinary license in 1993. Afterwards, Dr. Schacht earned master degrees in equine Breeding and Management, and in Teaching and Training from the German National Federation. The latter accomplishment gave him the esteemed Reitlehrer designation. Dr. Schacht has trained riders to upper level dressage, showjumping and eventing, and is a popular clinician throughout Europe and the USA.
Dr. Schacht is also a prominent speaker, and has given numerous presentations in Europe and the USA. Topics include breeding management, young horse development, conformation, equine sales and marketing, and disease and medication. He has also presented for Ft. Dodge Animal Health, and at venues such as Virginia Tech and Equitana (Essen, Germany).
