- since FEI, FN and all the other representative organizations as well as associations and clubs have not exactly moved heaven and earth yet in order to scientifically proof once and for all to what extend horses really suffer from the incorrect schooling and training methods their riders use;

- since in all the warm up arenas in the world, horrible scenes of hyperflexion are continuously being tolerated by the highest officials. With YOUR help, Wu Wei Publishers has decided to facilitate scientific research and to document it on film;

Thankfully, Dr. Gerhard Heuschmann was the first to get the ball rolling with regard to making people aware of horse-friendly riding – however, around the world too little is changing in the right direction. The latest winning rides on the highest levels show that the horses have to pay dearly for their riders’ success. The judges responsible for these decisions must either be blind, bribed or clueless. We expect the latter, which is why we have to educate them – those riders and judges, who still have a spark of feeling and understanding for horses as living beings inside of them, we have to equip with tangible and clear guidelines in order to prevent them from awarding incorrect and harmful training with the best grades.

We just think it’s been enough!

Not seeing – not hearing – not speaking

WE WILL NOT TOLERATE IT ANY LONGER!

From today on, let us together take the well-being of our horses in our own hands. By means of the outcome of our scientific findings, we will try to abolish all practices relevant to animal protection laws such as hyperflexion as well as forcing the horse into absolute elevation and a neck position that is too high or too tight in the throatlatch. This will be possible because we are going to get irrevocable proof which we will be publicizing worldwide as a documentary.

In order to realize this (sports) horse protection project – which is the biggest so far –, we have set up an account with Stadtsparkasse Munich, where you can make your contribution.

Account holder: I. Sonntag, Stimmen der Pferde

Swift/BIC: SSKMDEMM

IBAN: DE64701500001000840361

The donations will exclusively be used for:

The expedient application of funds will be supervised by the law firm Wietersheim, Mehring & Ramin, Friedrichstrasse 17, 80801 Munich.

Very soon we will found a club. So your contributions will be recognized as donations and thus will be deductible. And, if you donate more than € 30, you will receive YOUR personal copy of the movie. Our vision is that all over the world, the irrefutable truth will be shown in every language in every riding club’s common room, at every show and competition as well as everywhere else – by you! From now on and with the help of the documentary, you have the possibility to take the best interest of your beloved horse in your own hands. The names of all donors will appear in the credits of the film.

Please send us an email including your name and postal address (so we can send you YOUR copy of the documentary if you donated more than € 30) as well as your email address (in order to keep you updated) and the amount of money you donated.

We will send you an update on the process of this project at least every six months.
