Hi, I’m Marion Hackner.

Marion Hackner is a certified horse manager specializing in breeding, riding, and training, with a professional career shaped by international experience and high-level competition.

She has held qualified professional positions in Seefeld, England, Spain, the United States, and various European equestrian facilities, working across different disciplines, systems, and training philosophies. This broad background has formed a practical, adaptable approach rooted in clarity, consistency, and respect for the horse.

Marion’s professional foundations are deeply connected to national and international competition, including participation in the 2015 World Cup in France and national tournaments in South America, among others. Her experience spans both competitive environments and long-term horse development, from early training to advanced performance.

Today, her work focuses on ethical breeding, structured training, and natural horsemanship, combining technical precision with a deep understanding of equine behavior and welfare.

My Approach

Breeding and training carry the same responsibility: thinking long term. Each decision should serve the horse’s physical and mental balance, not short-term results.

Horse first

Every decision is guided by what is best for the horse today, and for the long term.

Lasting impact

Patience, consistency, and the highest level of care define our work.
