Pedigree

Falcao OLD

I don't know if Michael Schumacher's Ferrari is ticklish but mine sure is. My Ferrari, Falcao OLD, who loves to move forward, is so ticklish that I can only ride him with the tails of my coat pinned up. Flies and other insects are a horror for him, too.  The only thing he does like is to have his sweaty head rubbed with a towel.  

 

"Falki" is a fighter and I can absolutely depend on him – and that for 12 years now. The two of us successfully made the transition from junior classes to the senior Grand Prix class and now have Hongkong, our second Olympic Game, in sight – a career that as far as I know no other couple has managed.

 

My mother and I discovered this movement artist in 1995 at the Elite Auction in Vechta. As a three-year old he was owned by Silke Schaerffer. A year later she rode Falcao to victory at the Bundeschampionat in the class for riding horses. When I tried Falcao out – I was just eleven years old at the time – we immediately hit it off. Thanks to my father's training, we won silver twice and bronze four times at the European Championships in the class for juniors.

Falcao and I took fourth place in our very first international Grand Prix in Berlin in 2003. A year later we finished 20th overall at our first Olympic Games in Athens/GRE and 21st a year later at the European Championships in Hagen a.T.W./GER. We finished our first World Equestrian Games in Aachen/GER on 19th place in the Grand Prix and 29th overall. Our best championship result was at the 2007 EC in Italy when we finished 14th in the free-style final.
Four State Champion titles in a row were added with Falcao OLD who also belongs to the sport team sponsored by the Oldenburg Verband.
