German Icehorse trainer and guru, son of Walter Feldmann senior, been there, done that, won every icehorse competition there is in Europe including several World Championships. Renowned for being outspoken rather than polite, used to have the reputation for some rather dodgy shoeing practices on competition horses, developed his own horse breed (the Aegidienberger, 3/8 Peruvian Paso, 5/8 Icelandic or vice versa, can't remember), sells lots of horses, makes training videos, writes books, gives lots of courses etc etc etc. Not thought well of generally on this list due to his teaching, training and riding methods. hth!
