Felicitas von Neumann-Cosel is head trainer at First Choice Farm in Woodbine, Maryland. In 2004, she won the BLM Championships at Fourth Level on Roulette, a 1996 Oldenberg. In 2006, they won the BLM finals at PSG and Reserve Champion at Intermediare I. Felicitas currently shows Roulette at Grand Prix -- they debuted in last April with a score of 70.000%.
Klaus Balkenhol, of the German Dressage team, considers Felicitas "…a gifted, top-class horse woman." Robert Dover thinks that "…if we can procure a superior horse for this incredibly gifted rider, we will watch her skyrocket to the top rankings and give our country a boost toward the medal platform in future international competitions."
Since arriving from Germany in 1983, Felicitas has trained many horses to Grand Prix. She is an effective and articulate clinician, whose style is sympathetic to the horse. She bases her work on classical methods, as exemplified by the best of the European tradition. During her most recent clinic at High Point, participants and auditors alike benefited immensely from the creative and subtle strategies Felicitas shared with them. All left with a better understanding of how to enhance the flow of their horse's energy from back to front, and front to back again.
Along with Gerhard Politz, Michael Poulin, Debbie Bowman and Steffen Peters, she has been a USDF Examiner for the Instructor`s Certification program. In her native country of Germany, Felicitas placed first in class when completing her "Reitlehrer" (federally certified instructor) certification. She also graduated with the highest score ever awarded since the program was upgraded by the German government in 1982.
Felicitas von Neumann-Cosel also edited Reiner Klimke's "Ahlerich: The Making of a Dressage Champion" and in the February 2007 issue of Dressage Today explained her philosophy on the importance of hill work for developing "propulsive power" and "carrying power."
