Finally, it is here! The German edition. The English edition will follow soon! It has seen the light of day, and it chose a hard cover to withstand the impending headwinds. I am emerging from the dark cave of research, thinking, and formulating. It was dark almost everywhere: where it concerned real animal welfare cases, where it concerned the manifold power that supports and sustains violence, very dark when I "moved into" the breeding laboratories, and dark when I drew my conclusion.
Read what you are actually not supposed to know so precisely!
My conclusion is: the train for small reforms has left the station!
That is why I am working at full speed on my new Rheinwald-Equi-Libre-System®. It is intended to show the way out of this system collapse, it is intended to be the light in this darkness, it is intended to place horse welfare at the center of every decision, and it is intended to eliminate the analyzed traps of violence in advance. All of this would not have been possible if I had not been active on the side of horse welfare for decades and if I had not created this analysis of violence against the horse.
Follow me onto the new path! Follow me on the new path!
System collapse! From the system of violence against the horse in equestrian sports to a true partnership!
This book guides readers through the ruins of a system that has lost its way amidst glamorous social media facades, financial interests, and ignorance of scientific facts. From the linguistic perversion of violence to the tentative attempts by officials to repair this system a little bit.
Regina Rheinwald names what others keep quiet about and provides a broad analysis of the connections. After months of research and decades of experience, she draws a conclusion that is as surprising as it is terrifying:
A perpetual motion machine of violence against the horse that constantly renews itself in a cycle, from breeding to tournament sports and back into breeding.

This book is not a non-fiction book as you know it. It breaks with conventions. For example, it dispenses with typical, cruel evidentiary photographs and replaces them with the author’s own abstract-expressionist images that leave a deep impression. They describe what words cannot describe.
And in an extraordinary way, AI has its say. Not as an author, but as a multidimensional supplement: as an incorruptible analyst of art, as an analytical tool for dealing with algorithms, and as an uncomfortable admonisher that points out how modern surveillance programs, such as those used by the FEI, can be utilized to systematically make criticism of the system invisible. The logical conclusion of all this is:
The development of a new system from the ground up, which exclusively places the welfare of the horse at the forefront.
This system will be published in the autumn/winter of 2026 as an implementation compass. The Rheinwald-Equi-Libre-System (registered trademark) It will be the development of a new ethical framework and it will be applicable from the stable to the competition arena, even if the competitions will look a little different then.
