At the auction of two free stallion breedings at our show in Achleiten, 2,900 Euros were collected for a good purpose. The free breeding for the Kempke-Hof stallion Sancisco was knocked-down for a final offer of  1,350 Euros by the Irish dressage rider Judy Reynolds. The money will be go to a society that takes care of homeless dogs in Greece. 

Different than with his win in yesterday's Grand Prix qualification, today Falcao was a bit over motivated but I was able to get a good grip on him which made our presentation even more expressive. We made little mistakes but with 71.60 percent which was nearly five percentage points ahead of Christian Schumach on Cosmolight's Da Vinci (66.90 percent) who took second place, we couldn't be beat. 

Augustin won the St. Georges today at Schloss Achleiten ahead of his stablemate, Reve d'Amour. Ninth place went to Wintermärchen who was presented by our trainer, Pernilla Markusson.

August der Starke put on a fantastic performance today at Schloss Achleiten, winning the Grand Prix qualification for the Special. With 70.37 percent he was just just as good as he was in Munich/GER and kept competitors clearly at a distance

My first test at our show at Schloss Achleiten got off to a super start with Falcao. With 70.08 percent we won the Grand Prix qualification for the free-style. We were nearly six percentage points ahead of  Joelle Kinnen/LUX on Petit Prince (64.20 percent) who took second place. Christian Schmach on Cosmolight's Da Vince (64.00) took third.

Today our show in Achleiten started. I'm going to do the free-style tour with Falcao and the Special with August der Starke. And I've planned starts with Reve d'Amour and Augustin in the small tour.
