Rauhnächte, translates as "Twelve Nights" or "Wild Nights" are a beautiful and ancient tradition that embraces the magic and mystery of the transition between the old year and the new.

Rooted in various European cultures, particularly Germanic traditions, these nights typically span from December 25th to January 6th.

MSc Equine Science, ESMT Steffi Spielhaupter

I created Science for Soundness® because I kept seeing the same thing: horse owners who cared deeply, trying hard, and still feeling like something wasn't quite adding up. Not because they were doing it wrong. But because they were missing a coherent way to see the whole picture. I'm an Equine Scientist and Equine Sports and Massage Therapist. Horses have been part of my life since I was eleven years old — and since founding Science for Soundness® in 2014, I've dedicated that work to helping horse owners move beyond guessing and into genuine understanding. The Six Pillars of Soundness™ grew out of that work. Not as a theory, but as a living framework — shaped by real horses, real struggles, and the profound shifts that happen when you finally start seeing clearly. I live with my herd in northern Germany. They are my greatest teachers and the reason this work continues to evolve.
