Dr. Gerhard Heuschmann was born on October 6, 1959, in Marktredwitz, Germany, and grew up on his family's farm.After completing his secondary education in 1979, he underwent training at the German Riding School in Warendorf. He then went on to study veterinary medicine at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. After graduating, he initially worked as anassistant veterinarian in Munich before taking a position in 1989 as a junior staff member at the German Equestrian Federation (FN) in Warendorf. Shortly afterward, Dr. Heuschmann assumed the role of advisor in the breeding department. His collaboration with the FN ended in 1991.In that same year, he took over an equine clinic in North Rhine- Westphalia. From 1991 to 1994, Dr. Heuschmann ran the clinic together with Dr. Baltus and simultaneously developed what has since become his renowned lecture series on equine biomechanics.In 2006, his first publication, ""Finger in der Wunde"" (""Tug of War""), was released and has since been translated into 15 languages. This successful debut was followed by other works, including ""Balanceakt"" (""Balancing Act""), ""Stellung und Biegung"" (""Positioning and Bending""), and the DVD ""Stimmen der Pferde"" (""If Horses could Speak""). These titles are also now available in multiple languages. His newest book is a commentated version of the classic, H. Dv. 12 where he and Kurd Albrecht von Ziegner give valuable insights for todays riders: H. Dv. 12 with Commentary.Dr. Heuschmann remains active worldwide as a speaker at symposia and as a trainer at numerous seminars and training events. Richard Williams began riding in Canada at the age of eleven. He was introduced to Dressage at fifteen, and has since devoted his life to the promotion of Classical Horsemanship. Mr. Williams is widely-read in equestrian literature and has attended many lecture series and symposiums on the subject. He has completed judges' forums, instructors' seminars, and other significant educational events dealing with classical equitation. Since 1983, Mr. Williams has instructed private students in dressage, and has presented clinics in many different states.Currently, Mr. Williams continues the work of Xenophon Press founder, Ivan Bezugloff. Xenophon Press is alive and well bringing historic and new classical equestrian works to print in the English language. This has further increased the knowledge base Mr. Williams uses in his teaching and training process.
