Welcome!
In 2025 Eda is getting back into work from her maternity break. 

My name is Eda Vallimäe and this is my webpage about  my work as horse and rider trainer. 

I live in Tartu, Estonia (EU). 

Short overview About me
 
I have been a horse rider and horse lover since my early youth.
As a trainer I specialize:
* rider seat/biomechanics trainer both in ridder work and off the horse
* correct dressage/flatwork on the ground (groundwork and work in hand) based on the classical dressage princibles
* horses rehabilitation: I have lots of experience in rehabilitation work with both mental/training issues and different physical diagnoses including horses with kissing spine, general back pain, different joint problems, different hoof/lameness diagnoses. 


I am certified physiotherapist for humans and have work with patients in Rehabilitation Clinic in Tartu University Clinic.

With riders one of my biggest passions  is proper seat training: biomechanics, methods and methology. I am also Level- 1 Centered Riding instructor and I have also passed Introduction and Advanced level Therapeutic Riding course "Balance in Movement" (Analysis, treatment and training posture, movement and balance) concept for seat trainers with world-class seat specialist Susanne von Dietze- Pollok in Goteborg, Sweden.

My reasearch work for MSc degree has been on Estonian female equestrians low back pain and seat problems. 

In terms of practical experience training horses I have studied and practiced both in Estonia and abroad:

I have worked with horses since my youth and also spent two intensive years as a working student in different training stables in Germany, England and France learning about (natural) horsemanship and classsical dressage. I have passed groundwork and longeing test with Bent Branderup (Knighthood of academic art of riding) in 2016 and squire test in 2020 after spending almost 4 months of intensive training in Bent Branderup stable in Denmark.

Everything in art of riding is continuous process, a journey of discovery and awareness of oneself and the horse. I am forever a student myself and contiue to travel every year 

I offer individual lessons and training days (clinics) in:
  • classical dressage both ridden and  on the ground
  • Centered Riding and seat training (no matter the discipline) 
  • horsemanship and "problem" horse training​

I take horses in for re-training/rehabbing in Tartu. I offer intensive rehabilitatsion plan which usually includes:
* regular barefoot trimming hoof care (with composite shoes if needed)
* regular massage/bodywork and work in hand exercises
* regular eletrotherapy/TENS, facia tehniques, kinesiotaping, cupping
* good living conditions and regular training based on the horses need


Where?
You can come to me to Tartu, Estonia to a little but quality home stable.
I have good outdoor riding arena and give lessons and intensive "camps" for weekstudents, I have stable building with all modern conveniences, also guest boxes and guest paddocks.

I give training days all around Estonia and I am willing to travel abroad. I also teach in Latvia.
