Описание:
To be able to dance with a horse you need to learn about rhythm, dance and emotional expression. Astonishing results in drumming and moving, with a group of people without musical background and in different ages, after only some hours. http://www.hempfling.com
This video describes less known but very important parts of the horse therapist Klaus Ferdinand Hempflings work.
Hempfling, with his professional background in communications has shaken up the international horse world. He is working with these powerful, dignified creatures in accordance with nature. The development of the rider's "presence" and an orientation to holistic principles is integral to this work. Therefore he created different fundamental teaching and perception fields Body Awareness, Spiritual Awareness etc.
Klaus likes very much to play different kinds of drums like drum kit, congas, jembe (known from African Drumming), bongos, and other native drums.
On the little Danish island where he lives you will sometimes here singing or drumming and percussion in the streets near his house then you know: Klaus is at home.
Some might ask what this has to do with the horses? Well, you could maybe say Not a lot, but then again, being with the horses has to do with living here and now, not being occupied with the past or worrying about the future, and to achieve that, the soul need to express itself to give space for positive energies.
The ability to feel, sense and follow a rhythm is also essential for an authentic and integer appearance, and that is what the horses believe in and trust.
Hempflings drumming style is his very own but it is also inspired by drum players and percussionists like Rodolfo Pachecho (Gypsy Kings), Nick Mason (Pink Floyd), Thomas Lang, Terry Bozzio, Billy Cobham, Safri Duo and other drum legends.
Klaus plays many instruments but especially the acoustic guitar is really like a part of him. He has his very own authentic style (fingerstyle) which he developed as a street musician in his youth, where he very early stood on his own and had to make a living.
Hempfling has found inspiration by many of the great guitar players and musicians from the 60ies and 70ies, like for example Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits a band of which even Jon Bon Jovi was great fan), Eric Clapton who formed the first real super group Cream, Jimmi Hendrix, Paul Simon who was the leading musician in Simon & Garfunkel, Santana and Robert Johnson. In the past years Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling developed a more and more original musical expression with much improvisation and sometimes an unplugged touch. His style is very much based on different kinds of natural and native music styles represented by for example Scandinavian and sami musicians like the singer Mari Boine, the composer and saxophone player Jan Garbarek and the northern joiking. Also music with Irish and Celtic roots as for instance Loreena McKennit and many of the bands playing Irish Folk music have been in his repertoire of collecting creative inputs. His way of not regarding the rules of music theory sometimes make you think of people like Keith Jarret or the Fusion Jazz .
Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling (The Horse Seeks Me) is touching equestrians worldwide, with response in fields like natural horsemanship, horse whispering, classical and freestyle dressage, equestrian sports, western riding, endurance, eventing and horse riding in general. He is at the forefront on working and interacting with horses. His first book, 'Dancing with Horses' met with overwhelming success, especially in pleasure riding and natural riding.
Klaus lived with wild horses in wilderness to observe their animal language and natural horse behaviour. In the beauty of this nature he developed his principals of the first encounter of human and horse.
Very important for Hempfling is in general to interact in different fields as long as the activities accord to the horses nature.
One may say that he is meanwhile one of the leading names in the issue animal and especially horse welfare and horse passion and love, as well as horses in wildlife, roots in nature and animal communication. The German TV programme called him one of the most important horse whisperer of the world.
