Right until the last minute we hoped that the weather would get better - but it didn't. 

Riviera will be a therapy horse in the Integrativ Riding Center St. Isidor. This Rosandro daughter born in 2008 was bred by my mother and is closely related to Weinrausch, with whom I participated in the 2003 EC in Hickstead/GBR when I was just 17 and qualified for my first Olympic Games in Athens/GRE. 

Riviera's training as the therapy horse will begin next week and she will be taught by Rolanda Fassl, the Director of the Integrative Riding Center St. Isidor. "We could never afford such a young horse with the quality Riviera has. Without the support of sponsors and friends and our idealistic personnel, we couldn't keep the Integrative Riding Center St. Isidor going at such a high level," said Maria Sumereder, the Manager of Caritas for people with a handicap, when she thanked by mother for Riviera. "We hope she will be a wonderful and beloved four-legged partner for many sick or handicapped children." 

A Rosandro son bred by my mother was licensed at the 9th Southern German Hengsttage in Munich-Riem. 

She made things a bit suspenseful but now she's there: Toskana.

Moliere also had a fine ride in the Inter I in Weikersdorf, clearly ahead of his competitors with 74.21 percent.

The 2012 show season got off to a great start: Della Cavalleria OLD won the St. Georges in Weikersdorf with 73.07 percent in front of Moliere who had 72.10 percent.
