Also a couple pictures of Falcao's great presentation in Stuttgart ...

Salieri OLD did a clearly better job today in the World Cup free-style of Frankfurt/GER. With 70.80 percent we finished on eighth place. I still have no idea what bothered him yesterday in the Grand Prix. Maybe he was just irritated by the huge background in the enormous Festhalle. Horses that don't have a lot of Grand Prix experience are easily distracted if there is just the slightest little disturbance. But we weren't the only ones with a problem. Yesterday's winner Monica Theodorescu took only ninth place with her Whisper today with 69.30 precent - just behind us.

With a presentation really worth seeing, Falcao OLD took second place today in the Special of Dortmund/GER. He was very concentrated and was awarded 69.76 percent for his efforts which I was very happy about since his Grand Prix had not been so successful.  

At the 35th NRW Elite Auction we couldn't withstand the beautiful blue eyes of Nice Blue Eyes. Together with Paul Baune we purchased this riding pony mare with the very best performance bloodlines that contain Notre Beau-Principal Boy-Durello-Derby (breeder: Johannes Peters, Recklinghausen/GER) in  Münster-Handorf. She has already proved her worth by taking second place in a test for young riding horses (ups!) ponies.

Washed, groomed and ready for spring, our herd of minis were ready for the photographer, Michael Rzepa. You can admire the results! 

May I introduce myself? I'm the niece of Uncle Weini and my papa is Rosandro – but surely you can see that already, can't you? Now all I need is a beautiful name.

And my mama is Liebelei and my papa is Royal Diamond – and as it turned out, I might be gray someday. Maybe I'll be named Royal Love?
