Nancy Heiber
Nancy has been working with horses since 1999, with a strong focus on the nervous system as the foundation of movement, learning, behavior, and rehabilitation. Her work integrates horse training, neuroscience, and movement science to support horses in developing regulation, resilience, and healthy movement.
​
At the core of her approach lies the understanding that meaningful change begins with the relationship between horse and human and the state of the nervous system—not with technique. Nancy helps riders, trainers, horse owners, and professionals learn to recognize where a horse truly is—mentally, physically, and emotionally—and how to adjust input, expectations, and handling accordingly.
​
By translating scientific knowledge into clear, practical strategies, she supports sustainable learning and recovery that respect both the horse’s nature and the human–horse relationship. Nancy teaches clinics and workshops internationally in German and English and offers self-learning online courses for those who wish to deepen their understanding independently.
