Our minis have new clothes. Now they don't have to be jealous of our "big" horses who all have the right blankets for every occasion. A special company has made blankets to order for our minis - in a partner "look".

My brother, Johannes, has finished his written examinations for "Matura" (in Germany this is called "Abitur" which is a qualification for studies at a university) with good grades. All he has to do now is prepare for the oral examinations. 

When this is all over, my brother plans to take a job in our grandfather's company, just like I did. 

I received so many heart-felt congratulations for my good luck at the show in Munich/GER which made me very happy. The Oldenburg Verband  was among the well-wishers; my appearances with the Oldenburgs,  Falcao, August der Starke and Augustin are fantastic advertising for Oldenburg dressage horse breeding - and in the case of Falcao and August der Starke also an excellent recommendation for the Oldenburg auctions in Vechta.

We've got puppies: in the photograph you can see Apollonia's and Florita's siblings.

What a weekend in München/GER! With ten starts there were six first places with  Falcao in the free style tour, with Eichendorff in the Inter II tour and with Augustin in the Inter I and the St. Georges Special, three second places with August der Starke in the Special tour and with Augustin in the St. Georges and a third place in the FRB Dressage Derby. We are so happy - Thanks to all fans for keeping their thumbs crossed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the FRB Dressage Derby that is traditionally held in Munich/GER that includes changing horses, I managed to finish on third place. Riding a test with an unfamiliar horse at St. Georges Special level is quite a challenge. You don't have much time to get used to the horse that's been assigned to you and I was the first one to start. 

Isabell Werth/GER took first place in front of Fiona Bigwood/GBR. Fourth place went to Anja Plönzke/GER. Our special thanks to the owners who allowed their horses to be used for this special competition, without which it would not have been possible.
