With 69.30 percent, our Fürst Khevenhüller took fourth place in the qualifier for the Nürnberg Burg-Pokal that was held during the German Championships in Balve/GER. Under his trainer, Helen Langehanenberg/GER, this just seven-year old  Florestan I-Rohdiamant son seemd very sure of himself in the difficult movements but three other competitors were better, including the winner, D'Gostino under Fabienne Lütkemeier/GER

We will wait and see whether his stable mate, Fleur Rubin, who also immediately qualified in Lingen/GER for the Final in Frankfurt, will be able to keep up with him.

In the floodlight free-style in Aachen, Falcao OLD put on a wonderful performance. Our ride worked well with the music and the spectators also seemed to be pleased with us - at least their applause was very loud. We even received 81.00 percent in der B score from one judge and 79.00 percent from the other three. Together with the A score between 67.50 and 70.50 percent, the total was 73.50 percent which meant fourth place.

We have effectively reinforced our team. The Belgian rider, Carl Cuypers, now supports us in the training and schooling of our horses with his very sensitive and carefully considered way of riding. He got off to a very good start by getting our stallion  Biedermeier qualified for the Bundeschampionat at the 12th Dressage Festival in Aubenhausen/GER.

Our new kid on the block, Decamerone, got off to a perfect start at the Oldenburg Hengst-Tage in Vechta/GER. He went through the inspection on hard ground and lunging test that took place today like a breeze and was able to demonstrate his awesome movements. Tomorrow, running loose and free jumping as well as the walking ring are scheduled. We so hope he'll do a good job.

The new website for our Gestüt Vorwerk in Cappeln/GER is now online. At www.gestuet-vorwerk.de you'll find information about the Gestüt and the long tradition of its history, our stallions, our offspring and the events that will be held at Gestüt Vorwerk. And of course we'll keep you up to date on the the latest news. Take a look! It's worthwhile.

Schickeria and Helen Langehanenberg won the elementary (L) level test for young dressage horses in Unna Massen/GER with a score of 8.2, immediately earning their ticket to the Bundeschampionat the beginning of September in Warendorf/GER. Schickeria is a five-year old Westphalian mare by Sir Donnerhall I-Weltmeyer that we discovered at the auction in Münster-Handorf.
