Before ascending to the peak of international competition, Sabine Schut-Kery demonstrated the depth of her classical foundation on Europe’s grandest stages—performing at premier venues including the German Masters in Stuttgart, CHIO Aachen, and prestigious galas across Switzerland and Italy.
This early mastery encompassed both the complete Grand Prix framework and the subtle, exacting discipline of Haute École—including advanced work in-hand, sidesaddle, and unmounted cues. Executed with absolute lightness and flawless biomechanics, these demonstrations demanded an unmistakable atmosphere of mutual trust.
While Sabine’s focus has since shifted entirely to elite sport and high-performance training, this formative chapter remains a hallmark of her philosophy—standing as definitive proof that true classical authority elevates the athletic capability of any horse through quiet harmony.
An evocative collaboration uniting the cadence of Grand Prix dressage with the passion of live Flamenco. Partnering on the ground with a master dancer—and supported by aerial performance—Sabine showcased the horse's natural elasticity and rhythm as a form of fine art.
An homage to classical tradition, Sabine executed upper-level dressage movements and Haute École elements—including the Spanish walk and bow—from a sidesaddle. The performance stood as a rare demonstration of core balance, absolute lightness, and classical authority under the most subtle of cues.
A rare demonstration of precision and spatial awareness, Sabine simultaneously rode one horse while driving a second in front. The performance required flawless timing and total trust, highlighting her mastery of both classical dressage and driving..
""Even in our early exhibition performances, our standard never changed: everything had to be grounded in correct classical dressage. Whether driving, riding sidesaddle, or working in-hand, the goal was always the same—bringing out the horse’s natural capability through trust, discipline, and absolute lightness."
