Bartinka Dorgelo, Certified Equestrian Tai Chi Instructor Level 1
My name is Bartinka Dorgelo and I’m assistant instructor at Marjan’s Paardenschool (Equestrian School) in Deventer, The Netherlands, where we apply the principles of Centered Riding and Natural Horsemanship to achieve a healthy and natural development of both rider and horse. Equestrian Tai Chi is a valuable addition to our riding program.
At home I take care of 4 horses and I often practice Tai Chi standing in the midst of my small herd. I love adventurous trail rides on horseback, but I’m also a passionate Ballroom and Argentinian Tango dancer. Riding and dancing are all about partnering and moving together in sync. Practicing Equestrian Tai Chi has deepened my connection both on horseback and in the embrace of my dance partner.
My dream is for horses and humans to experience joyful and enriching synchronization when being together, riding or otherwise, and for the school horses to enjoy the rides as much as their riders.
