“Sebastian’s Adventures: Diary of a Champion”

“Sebastian’s Adventures: Diary of a Champion” is a heartwarming story of the adventures of a young Hanoverian Perheron thoroughbred horse named Sebastian and his trainer Karin Matey on the road to success in the dressage arena.

In his “diary,” Sebastian tells about his life on the farm, his first experiences in the dressage ring, his discovery of his love of jumping, and much more. When Sebastian was one year old, his trainer entered him into his first horse show and Sebastian discovered his love for the show ring. Over the years Sebastian and his trainer Karin have developed a wonderful partnership, the greatest goal of the dressage experience.

Karin draws on her intimate knowledge of horses and the sport to introduce the young reader to dressage riding and the fundamentals of caring for a horse. She describes her thoughtful and gentle approach to training and keeping horses from which, both the young reader and older ones too can draw lessons and inspiration.

Sebastian and Karin introduce the reader to the basics of dressage, an ancient art which works with the natural movements of the horse and strengthens communication between horse and rider. Together, they describe their challenges and adventures in the ring and on the North Country trails. A picture emerges of what a friendship between horse and trainer can be, and what it takes to make it succeed.
