23.12.2011 Merry Christmas

The contemplative Christmas time and the upcoming turn of the year makes us thoughtful and reflective. The Team Holger Hetzel looks back to a very successful year 2011, which was shaped by several moments of achievements and happiness.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your solidarity, your support and for your faithful cooperation.
A merry Christmas and the very best wishes, good health, luck and success for you-my friends, clients and equestrian friends- for the New Year.
All the best,
Holger Hetzel and team

08.12.2011 All tracks already covered…

For months we've been working for this one day ... now my seventh sport horse sales is already one week over and all tracks are covered.
The preparations for the event began at the beginning of the year with the selection of horses and especially during the recent months and weeks they became more intensive and concrete.
Now, one week after the event, the tents are already taken down, some of the auction horses left the stable and the mood in the stable is controlled by a satisfied quietness.
The auction last week was a great success and more successful than ever before.
The whole team around me did a great job. I would like to thank all involved parties- everyone was always motivated, worked with enormous pleasure and made an important contribution to the success!

 

02.12.2011 First horses left the stable...

Directly one day after the auction the first horse was picked up by his new owner.
I'm looking forward to hear about the first results of the horses and hope that the youngsters are developing well at their new home. Again congratulations the the new owners, have fun with your new sport partners!

01.12.2011 Former records broken

The seventh sport horse sales of Holger Hetzel was a great success. All 17 youngsters have found a new owner and were sold for the fantastic amount of 2 Million Euro in total. The average price was 117.000 €- this means it was the most successful auction till now, because last year the average price was 4.000€. The most expensive horse was the seven year old gelding “Mojito”, bought by Jürgen Stenfert (IRL) for 300.000€.
At 5.30 p.m. Carsten Soestmeier and Holger Hetzel presented the auction horses for the last time. The horses were ridden by rider of the stable and commented by the two horsemen. At 9 p.m. auctioneer Volker Raulf went to his auction-desk and opened this year's event.

 

In order to give potential buyers a little warmup, Holger Hetzel has made ​​a special auction candidate again. And like last year a colt (Numero Uno x Waitaki) was sold for UNESCO- “Education for Children in Need”. The colt was auctioned for an exceptional amount of 14.000€, so Dr. hrs. Ute-Henriette Ohoven was very happy when she received the cheque for the foundation.
In her acceptance speech she said, the money was meant for needy children in Africa, "and this will also save lives”

 

A lot of famous persons from all over the world attend the auction personally, like Clarissa Crotta, Markus Fuchs, Willi Melliger (SUI), Denis Lynch (IRL) and Mario Stevens.
Two more vicitours have been very successful at this evening- the sponsors of Janne-Frederike Meyer (Gold-medal winner during the WEG 2010 with the team and team European Champion 2011) bought the horses Ready to win and Tinka’s Queen and Chris Kappler (USA, Winner at Olympic Games), got the horse Peter Lustig.
Three horses were bought by people from the Switzerland, two Luxembourg, two Russia and one Turkey.

 

29.11.2011 A good deed for the heart!

Before the real auction starts tomorrow, we will make a special auction- a good deed for the heart! A promising foal with a brilliant pedigree (Numero Uno x Waitaki) will be auctioned for the foundation UNESCO- “Education for Children in Need”. The money in it’s totality will be donated to the foundation, which has been standing up for poor children since 1992, providing them with school and vocational education for a brighter future.
The check will be received by Ute-Henriette Ohoven. She is only one of the prominent guests who will follow the event live in Goch. All interested people are welcome to visit this exclusive event, which is characterized by the pleasant atmosphere, professional organisation and exceptional horses.

 

28.11.2011 Auction horse nr. 20 "Unbelievable"

The collection of my 7th sport horse sales presents strong selected horses aged four to eight, which are already since a few weeks at my stable for training. Now there is one more auction horse- “Unbelievable”. Because of her incredible capability and her brilliant technique the five year old mare by Untouchable became also a ticket for the auction lot. Like all the other 19 auction horses “Unbelievable” is presented on this website. Be sure to check her out!

 

28.11.2011 Official presentation of auction horses

Yesterday a lot of visitors came to have a look to the official presentation of the auction horses. Some interested people seized the opportunity to try out their favourite.
Now the last preparations are running for Wednesday…

 

 

16.11.2011 The Countdown is running...

The second indoor (a tent) is built up, clippers are working all day long, outside the indoor you can hear the four-legged contented snorting and actually I moved a part of my office into the riding hall, because I don’t want to miss one second of the training of the delicious auction horses.
The countdown in on- only two weeks to go! In 14 days my seventh sport horse sales will take place- it is still exciting and connected with much excitement as the first time. All involved people are highly motivated. I am glad that the horses present themselves positive every day and the clients have a lot of fun when trying them. If you would like to try out your favorite, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time.

15.11.2011 Fourth in Grand Prix

Last weekend Little Tinka (half brother of auction horse “Tinka’s Queen”) once again showed that he is currently in excellent shape. In the Grand Prix of Oldenburg it was not difficult for me to show nice rounds in the saddle of the grey gelding. Both the first rounds as well as the jump-off were great- Little Tinka jumped fantastically well and was double clear. At the end we became fourth in this main class of the international three star show in Oldenburg.
A great side effect: Through this placement, we qualified for the final of the Master League in Frankfurt from 15th till 18th December 2011!

 

09.11.2011 Three weeks to go

The horses developed very well within the last weeks/month and are in a great condition. The youngsters enjoy the solicitous care and attention of the whole team in my stable and seem to be very satisfied. The horses are fit, we can go on, the stars of the future are ready!
Many clients were already at my stable to try out the auction horses. When the riders have a big smile in their face when riding the first rounds it is a very big satisfaction for me. We have convincing videos from the show from all horses to prevent an overload when jumping the young jewels too much. In case you have found a favourite you are welcome to try out the horse(s) at any time, but please make your personal appointment (+49-(0)171 480 8668).

08.11.2011 Unesco wins "Bavarian Championat"

Mandy Goosen and Unesco won the „Bayern Championat der Nürnberger Versicherung“ at the „Munich Indoors 2011“. The pair was already placed in the opening class, showing a nice clear round in the Olympic Hall. In the final, a 1.45m class with jump-off, they were clear twice and won the class (with a brilliant style)! The pair also won the overall standings and got the golden sash. Congratulations!

 

Chiara, auction horse 2007, was ridden by Ludger Beerbaum at the four star show „Munich Indoors“ last weekend. The pair jumped clear in the „Munich Indoors Trophy“, a 1.45m class. Virginia, since the auction 2010 owned by Family Theelen, is still successful. Now ridden by junior Daniela Theelen the six year old mare showed many clear rounds in Sonsbeck Olympic and his rider Marie- Theres von Fürstenberg were placed in a L class during a show in Sonsbeck En-Rico, auction horse 2007, and Martin Sterzenbach finished fourth in a S*-class for 7 and 8 year old horses.

 

08.11.2011 Clear rounds in Sonsbeck

Although our main focus currently is directed to the sport horse sales, we took the opportunity to compete at the show in Sonsbeck. The organizer developed a very good schedule, which attracted a lot of rider. The riders of my stable showed many clear rounds and can be very satisfied, even if they were not placed in all classed because of the large number of competitors- better a nice clear round than a hasty round without a nice style.

 

Christine and Nom de Guerre, seven year old gelding by Eurocommerce Napels, showed a nice clear round in the M* class. Daniel rode Quinte (7 year old mare by Quidam’s Rubin) in the same class and was also without faults.
Ricarda Tippkötter got the first place in a M*-class with her gelding Aronjo and was faultless in a L class with the young mare Aska.
Carolin Becker and Loreen were placed in a M *- class.
Marilena Schuhmacher and the six year old mare Lavazza finished clear in a L-class.

 

08.11.2011 Katrin second at DKB Riders Tour final

Katrin Eckermann- shooting star of the year! My former apprentice became second in the final of the DKB Riders Tour. After phenomenal performances during this season at major shows such as Münster, Paderborn, Donaueschingen and Hanover the 21-year-old Amazon showed her talent again: last weekend Katrin continued her fabulous form at the four star show in Munich. The young rider showed again spectacular rounds at the “Munich Indoors” and at the end she became second in the final behind the world-class rider Ludger Beerbaum. She just barely missed the win-sensational!

 

After fantastically clear rounds in the qualification on Saturday she delivered the second clear on the well jumping Carlson and released her happiness when crossing the finish line to wild cheers from the home crowds. It looked good for Katrin who with a top three placing could hunt down Ludger Beerbaum’s overall lead in the tour when he opened the ball with two down on Gotha.
Unfortunately she hit the first fence in the jump-off , became (fabulous) seventh in the Grand Prix but was not able to steal Ludger the title “Rider of the year”.
She was about to make the sensation perfect, but the second rank is more than brilliant! Congratulaions for this success, Katrin!

 

03.11.2011 "Jumping Princess" victorious

Auction horse “Jumping Princess” has proven her show jumping talent again: Yesterday the six years-old mare won a young horse class L (“Springpferdeprüfung Klasse L”) and became fourth in a young horse class M* (Springpferdeprüfung Klasse M*). Again two ribbons results for the young princess, who is already victorious in youngster classes on international three star shows. A future super star!

Only the world’s best riders competed in this class, the twelve best riders of the discipline based on the FEI Rolex world seeding, as well as the current World Champion.

25.10.2011 Laura's successful weekend in Goch

On the weekend we have had some beautiful, golden autumn days.
Laura’s face was shining like the sun, because during the "Youngster Event Goch 2011" the eleven year old girl was placed in all classes she rode- no matter if she sad in the saddle of a horse or pony.
The great weekend began already on Thursday when competing with the horse Titanium. In a large field of starters Laura and the gelding were placed fourth in the A** class as well as in the L-class with jump-off. On Friday Laura tied to the success of the previous day: with pony Dancing Dream Laura she won the style A-class and finished eighth in the speed class. On Saturday the young Amazon rode her first L-class with Dancing Dream and demonstrated again a sovereign round: score of 7.0 and fifth place! I’m really pleased that Laura showed exemplary rounds with a beautiful style. She rode all classes with much feeling, no matter it was a speed class or not.
Great sport in front of fabulous scenery!

The traditional CSI*** Wiener Neustadt in Austria was again a very nice show with a pleasant atmosphere. It was the first indoor show after the season outside and all horses jumped really well. Beside the great performances of the two auction horses I’m very satisfied with Little Tinka. He jumped superbly in the Grand Prix.

• Since she was sold at my auction in 2007 the mare has a brilliant career and since a short time she is in the stable of no less than Ludger Beerbaum: the eight-year-old Chiara (by Contender). The world-class rider rode the mare at the international show E. ON Westfalen Weser-Challenge. In Parderborn for the first time. The pair was placed in the opeining class as well as the "Paderborn convinced - price" (1.45 m), where the couple was clear twice. A promising start ... The six-year-old Lantana, auction horse in 2010, finished third and fourth in a M *- class during the show in Babenhausen. The mare was ridden by Felicitas Erfurt. Corenzo and Stefan Schewe showed faultless rounds during the Rhenish show in Heinsberg • Milky Way showed great performances at the CSI *** Arezzo: With Roth Oda (NOR) in the saddle, the eight year old gelding placed third twice in international 1.35 m / 1.40 m classes •Last Minute and Mandy Goosen were clear in the small tour during the CSI*** Humlikon Generation and their young rider Leonie Weirich finished sixth in a L-class and got the second rank in a M* class • Sara Pappone and Curtis finished eighth at the Italian Championship for Young Riders!

During the CSI*** Humlikon all horses jumped very well, so I’m very happy after this show.

With Carlson under the saddle I placed seventh in a class of the small tour. Lanzarote was placed in a class of the medium tour.
Furthermore I saddled the seven-year old Aska in the Youngster Tour. The young mare has already learned a lot by her rider Ricarda Tippkötter, so it was not very difficult to present the mare on a positive way: I was able to place her twice in the big classes for young horses.
Especially Little Tinka presented himself very motivated and felt fantastically well: He was placed in the big tour and in the Grand Prix of Humlikon we were clear in the first round and qualified for the jump-off. At the end we were placed in this 1.55m class.

06.09.2011 … a nice trip to Ising

Because of the unique scenery and the great atmosphere at Gut Ising the trip to the south of Germany was worthwhile. A directly view from the warm-up arena as well from the show ground to the Chiemsee- where else do you have such a great panorama? Gut Ising is a great place, the organizers have spared no expense to provide a great weekend to the riders, horses, grooms and spectators.

Both Lanzarote and Little Tinka impressed with fresh rounds in all courses, the break seemed to be good. Both geldings were placed with clear rounds in the international classes.
In the Grand Prix I saddled Little Tinka, who jumped fantastically well. A light fault at the beginning of the course unfortunately refused the entry into the jump-off.

Christine rode Carlson in the classes of the European Youngster Cup and on Saturday the pair was placed in a 1.40m class with jump-off.
My daughter Laura started with the gelding Titanium in the L-classes of the show. The couple jumped all courses highly concentrated, stylistically perfect and in an exemplary manner and showed pure harmony between horse and rider. As a reward for the performance Laura could take a ribbon for a placement back to home!

Sara and Elvezia Pappone have had a very successful weekend in Busto Arsizio: Elvezia was placed fifth in a 1.35 m class with Altenbach. With Likido she finished fourth and sixth in a 1.35m class.

25.07.2011 Companiero wins and wins and wins…

The last two weeks at the international show in Gera were quite successful. At the second weekend I rode the horses Daniel normally rides - it was very easy for me, because Daniel really makes a good job.
Companiero (Auction horse “Jackpot” in 2010) was the star- he is such a motivated, elastic horse and jumps everything so easy with a lot of scope… He gives his rider a wonderful feeling. I was able to win three of four classes for five years old horses with him! Amazing…

For sure the support and concentrated training of the horses and the several classes on different show grounds requires a lot of coordination, but all this was rewarded by nice and successful rounds:

04.07.2011 "Nachwuchschampionat" powered by EQUIVA

With a score of 8.5 Pia-Marie Schröder and Timberland (by Numero Uno) finished the first class of the "Holger Hetzel junior Championships powered by EQUIVA" in Langenfeld last Friday. With this score the pair became second in this class. After an unfortunately less successful Saturday, on Sunday Pia and Timberland were back in top form in the Final and finished third in the M *- class with jump-off.
In the final class of the this championship, Pia unfortunately "scraped" with a dot spacing on a podium over and was fourth. Nevertheless, the young Amazon had reason to celebrate: Pia got the special prize for the best style, which is a very important and commendable ceremony. Congratulations!
I would like to congratulate winner, Tim Birckensteadt, which generated Pepe with his horse in all three competitions a steady performance. The finale, an M *- jumping with jump, won the talent with his bay gelding, which Tim did his triumph perfectly. A well-deserved success for the riders from the Riding Club Würselen, who must now look for a sponsorship deal with EQUIVA. Similarly, the best pairs of the Finals will be invited to a training course with me, where then are seen more talent to promote.
My thanks go out on this journey of Arno Dormann, CEO of EQUIVA that supports the highly vigorous championship as a sponsor.

 

Students fit for 2011My students developed also very well. For example Pia-Marie Schröder who won the most important class for Rhenish junior riders during the Salut-Festival in Aachen two weeks ago. In the final she scored 8.5 for her style giving her the title. A special fact is her four legged partner Timberland- Pia-Marie’s parents bought the seven years old at the Auction 2009 and since that moment the young pair has made a great development which was rewarded with victories in International Amateur classes on international CSI-Shows. Beside Pia-Marie my other students have had also great success, which confirms my team and I in our work. In my opinion sensible training and the exercise of the basics for the young riders is a very important for achieving an international top-level.

 

04.07.2011 Christine is the best women

The three jumping classes at the Rhenish Championships for senior riders were very difficult and mixed the general standings after each round. Difficult lines and high jumps for the riders made ​​it a real task to obtain the title of the "Rhenish Champion".
One of the youngest participants in the starting field was Christine, who saddled the ten year old gelding Aaron. In the first qualification the pair had only one time fault. On Sunday, Christine and Aaron showed a great round, Christine rode with a perfect style and Aaron jumped with much power and scope. They became fifth in this S*** class with two rounds and finished seventh in the overall standings. Although her ​​top horse Tourbillon van de Zuidhoek stayed in the stable- a remarkable achievement!

 

04.07.2011 Virginia gets ticket

Also the six-year-old mare Virginia was able to get a ticket for the Federal Championships in Warendorf. The daughter of Chilento impressed the judges under the saddle of Frederic Tillmann in the qualification at the show in Langenfeld.

At the auction in 2010 the beautiful mare was purchased with the name "Big little lady" by family Theelen and since that time the highly talented youngster shows an exemplary development. Daniela Theelen was recently honored as the "Rhenish Champion” of the junior rider, the young horse qualifies for the National Championships, - if that's not a good omen ... Congratulations!
Virginia is next Companiero the second horse of the last year's collection which could qualify for the National Championships.

 

This was 2010…
It is certain that this year wouldn’t have been so successful without the faithful cooperation from our numerous satisfied clients. But- to keep in mind- also the team around me is indispensable and the basis for every positive result: for the unproblematic processing of the daily work, the presentation of the horses on national and international shows and the successful sale.

 

04.07.2011 Lord Nobel and Jones victorious

Lord Nobel(auction horse in 2010) and his rider Jonas Ossenberg-Engels grow more and more together as a team and have been rewarded for the work of recent months: The pair won in Balve in a M * class with a score of 8.4. What a great success! In addition, the couple showed at the “Märkisch championships” in Letmathe two faultless rounds in M *- classes last weekend. In one class they got the blue ribbon for the fourth place.
Lantana performed also in Balve and was placed ninth in the Springpferdeprüfung Klasse
L and finished fifth in a Springpferdeprüfung KlasseM with rider Felicitas Erfurt.

 

01.07.2011 Companiero victorious in qualification

Exceptional… The small gelding Companiero showed again all his quality and scope. In Langenfeld, venue of the Rhenish Championships 2011, the five year old son of Candillo won the “warm up”, a Springpferdeprüfung Klasse L with the score of 8.1. In the Springpferdeprüfung Klasse M, qualification for the Federal Championships of young horses, Companiero and his rider Daniel were able to improve their performance and were scored with an 8.4. The pair won this class and qualified again (after the show in Sevelen the second time) for the big event for young horses in Warendorf. What a brilliant confirmation for horse and rider!
In the auction catalogue 2010 we described the youngster already with the words “Dream type, dream character, dream qualities” as well as “exceptional talent combined with a winning-heart make this horse a worthwhile investment for tomorrow’s courses”. The name accordingly: Jackpot. Since the auction the gelding confirms all these predictions and revealed round after round his exceptional talent and his enormous willingness to perform. This is an example that the size of the horse does not matter if the character is well. I’m very pleased that this young horse develops so exemplary and I am excited to see where his path leads yet!

 

28.06.2011 Rhenish Championships

Next weekend, the dressage and show jumpers and vaulters compete at Gut Langford in Langenfeld for the coveted green-white regional champion sashes and medals.
The main focus for me lies on my work as national association coach of the junior and young riders, who I will support and watch over the weekend to make possible nominations.
Also the "Holger Hetzel Nachwuchs-Championat Junioren Springen" will be held for the third time during the Rhenish Championships. This exciting championship for junior rider (born 1995 and later) is sponsored by the company EQUIVA.
I'm curious what insights this weekend will bring in terms of the Rhenish youngsters.

04.04.2011 Bella Italia- what a great weekend!

Wow… What a great weekend… The past six days of the Tuscany Tour were just amazing. We all were so fascinated of our horses, that we nearly didn’t recognize the wonderful weather…
I rode Chacco’s Junior in a class for six year old horses and finished fifth. With Mic Mac de Bance and Louisa I got placements in 1.40m classes of the Silver Tour. Lanzarote was placed twice in big classes of the Gold-Tour. I also rode Little Tinka in the Gold Tour and he performed unbelievable well- placements in 1.40 and 1.45m classes were his results. In the Grand Prix of the CSI*** we unfortunately had two faults, but nevertheless I’m very satisfied with him.
Christine was successful with Polly Pocket (see below) and her four-legged partner Tourbillon van de Zuidhoek. The pair was placed in an international 1.40m class of the Silver Tour. In most classes of the Silver- and Gold-Tours around 150 competitors started, this is why I’m really happy about all the placements.

 

My students showed, that they already benefit from our stay at the Tuscany Tour. Not for nothing we were able to celebrate a double victory in the Bronze Tour: Carolin Becker and her mare Loreen won a class of the Bronze Tour  Marilena Schuhmacher was also able to win a class of the Bronze Tour. She sat in the saddle of Lavazza (see below) In both above mentioned classes Pia-Marie Schröder became second with Pascal. They were also able to get a placement in a third class, what underlines the quality of rider and horse- they know each other not longer than two weeks! With Timberland under his saddle Pia-Marie was also successful (see below!) Thomas Holtrop and Pipkin were placed twice and showed very good rounds Titanium was ridden by Bernd Dorenkamp and placed once Federico Formentini, young Italian rider, got two placements which Win Chin in the Silver Tour What a great success!

 

Polly Pocket (auction horse 2010) and Christine competed in the classes for six year old horses. „Clear rounds“ and a placement was their result Quidamia (auction horse 2010) was placed in an international 1.30m class with jump-off. The seven year old mare was ridden by Gianni Govoni (ITA) Lantana (auction horse 2010) and her young rider Felicitas Erfurt got again a lot of experienced and showed nice rounds in the youngster tour When looking at these results it’s quite normal, that I’m looking forward to the next auction, istn’t it?

28.03.2011 The Tuscany Tour started...

Since 8 days we are at the Arezzo Equestrian Centre to compete with 17 horses at the Tuscany Tour (ITA). For sure it is a lot of (logistical) work- some horses have to compete in different classes; all the other horses have to be ridden and so on… The three show arenas, all practice arenas, the stables and the promenade- everything is perfect and geared to the four-week-show. This is why so many riders are here- per class up to 150 horses!

 

The sun was shining, my team worked very well and the horses performed very well: Polly Pocket, already at the “Winter Equestrian Festival” in Wellington convincing, made sovereign her rounds. Under the saddle of Christine the mare was placed twice in classes for six year old horses. I rode Lanzarote in a 1.45m class of the Gold Tour and because of a clear round the gelding was placed.  With Louisa, an eleven year old mare of Limbus, I was placed seventh in an international class with 137 competitors. Furthermore I was able to place Micmac de Bance (by Urbain du Monnai) in an international class. Tourbillon van de Zuidhoek and his rider Christine showed again that they established in big, international classes. The pair was placed in an 1.40m class and got the eighth rank in the European-Youngster-Cup-judgement of this class

 

My students can be very satisfied with their performances in Italy: Pia Marie Schröder were with both Timberland and Pascal clear in all rounds of the Children/Youngster Tour. Only in the jump-off in the final she had one fault. Carolin Becker could gain a lot of experience and had clear rounds in the Bronze Tour with her horses Mr Pommeroy and Loreen. Conteur and Thomas Holtrop were placed in a class of the Bronze Tour

 Last weekend I competed at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida. It’s really great here- the sun is shining, the atmosphere absolutely positive and the showground indescribable. But the best thing is that the horses are performing so well. Lanzarote was placed once in a 1,45m class. Little Tinka became fourth in a 1,40m class and finished fifth in a 1,45m class.

My next clinic will take place on April 26th – 28th, 2011 (Tuesday- Thursday) at my stable in Goch (Germany). Students receive extensive flatwork training, so they learn to properly exercise and school their horses, develop feeling and timing, and improve their style and position.
Further emphasises are gymnastics, jumping course- sections and at the end jumping a whole course, like on a show.
You can find more information under the Topic “Clinics”.

 

17.01.2011 Investment in the future

Buying a young horse is an investment for the future: a future based on competitive

performance on the one hand, but also a good capital investment on the other. It is

for those reasons that the right management becomes instrumental in building the

correct foundations. I would be glad to assist you in realising the future potential of

your investment! Here you can read more about this topic!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

 

A trying year, but also a successful year, is about to end. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your solidarity, your support and for your faithful cooperation.
A merry Christmas and the very best wishes, good health, luck and success for you-my friends, clients and equestrian friends- for the New Year.
I'm looking forward to welcome you at my stable in 2010!
All the best,
Holger Hetzel and team

 

 

 

23.12.2010 2010- A year full of Highlights!

The contemplative Christmas time and the upcoming turn of the year makes us thoughtful and reflective. The Team Holger Hetzel looks back to a very successful year 2010, which was shaped by several moments of success and happiness.

 

Wellington, München, Humlikon, San Giovanni
My horses for the Big Tour presented themselves very good on the international shows during this season. Placements in big classes during the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington (USA), in the Championat of Munich, as well as in the Grand Prix of Roggel, Pforzheim, Humlikon and Oldenburg are making me happy and satisfied. With several victories and placements in classes for young horses and in the international Youngster Tour the young horses gave proof of our good education and that we have chosen the right way of training.

 

Chritine Dorenkamp successful
Christine Dorenkamp, first rider in my stable, has had a great season 2010. Main focus was put on the “European Youngster Cup”, where talents between 16 and 25 years old have the chance to compete on international renowned shows. Christine and her four-legged partner Tourbillon van de Zuidhoek were placed during international shows like Munich, Nörten- Hardenberg, Lamprechtshausen and Gera with brilliant rounds. But not only that, During the CSI*** Donaueschingen the young Amazon won the final class of the EY-Cup. Last weekend she became seventh in the “Silver Final” at the Frankfurt horseshow. Christine’s season has had more higlights: At the Renish Championships the 23-year old talent competed for the first time in the age-classes of the seniors and ended up in fifth position. Also at the German Championships in Münster she showed a great performance and attracted attention with her stylistic rounds. World Ranking Points have been collected in Wiener-Neustadt, where Christine and Toubillon got the fourth rank in the Grand Prix!

 

Apprentice Katrin Eckermann European Young Rider Champion
This past season 2010, my apprentice Katrin Eckermann was also peppered with several highlights: In her age class „Young Rider“ Katrin and her gelding Carlson collected almost all medals possible to win. The highly talented 20-year old won at the “Preis der Besten” in Warendorf, got the gold medal at the Renish Championships, became first in the final class of the German Championships, during the European Championships in Jardy (FRA) Katrin got the team gold medal and individual silver and at the end of the year the courageous rider became “Indoor Champion” at the Salut Festival in Aachen. Also on the international scene of the elite riders my apprentice attracted attention with her excellent rounds, one example of this was last weekend when she finished second in the Championat of Frankfurt (CSI****).

 

The offspring makes big steps!
Besides the wonderful results of my team I’m very happy about the success of my daughter. Laura has made an enormous development and was able to win her firs A-class with her pony Dancing Dream. This is a moment that makes me unbelievable proud as a father!

The junior and young riders of the Rhineland are also on the right way for being successful. Unfortunately they haven’t had so much luck during the German Championships but I’m confident that they can win a lot next year. With Stefanie Reining, Katrin Eckermann and Andreas Kreuzer three Rhenish Riders were involved in the medal-winning team at the European Championships in Jardy.
During the „Nachwuchschampionat“ within the Rhenish Championships in Langenfeld it became apparent that we have several very talented youngsters in the sport. This is why I’m looking forward to do my job as the “Rhenish Landestrainer of the junior and young rider” in 2011.

 

6. Sport Horse Sales
The explicit highlight and the main focus of our whole year planning was again my Sport Horse Sales. In this sixth edition 17 high quality jumping horses changed their owners for a total of 1.4 million Euros.
The most expensive horse was Wolkenkratzer, a seven years old son of Marlon. He was bought by “Rider of the year” Denis Lynch and I’m sure we will hear a lot about this pair in the future.
The Argentinean football star Hernan Crespo bought a horse for his wife Alessia Rossi. Chris Kappler, gold medal winner with the US-Team during the Olympic Games 2004 and individual silver-medal winner, purchased the five year old mare Polly Pocket for 150.000€. We also got the attendance from many amateur riders who where really exited to find their sport partner for the future.
600 interested guests came to my stable to attend the exclusive event live and I’m really looking forward to receive them again with another selection of high quality young horses next year.
