Tournament season already started

After our winter break we’d like to come back with good news. We are happy about Lina Dierks who was able to claim the Ostfriesischer Bezirksmeister title last weekend with “Cenzo” at the dressage tournament. We are also happy together with Lara Johanna Ehlen who ranked 2nd place together with “Kate Middleton” at the riding tournament Neuenkirchen in the dressage tournament class M. We congratulate the riders and wish them a continuous success!

Training horse instantly ranked in first S dressage tournament

Last weekend Pedro was able to rank at the dressage tournament class S. He had “Vapiti” under the saddle and the horse was able to get the 4th place in his very first S dressage tournament.

Paddock and pasture time for the horses

Whether stallion, gelding or mare, with us every horse is allowed out into the fresh air. In order to offer the training and competition horses enough variety and to satisfy their needs, the horses come outside alone or as a pair.
With the current temperatures, we naturally make sure that the horses do not have to stand outside in the hot midday sun and that they have the opportunity to find a shady spot.

Training horse gets placement

The weekend before the last one Pedro was again able to get a ranking with the training horse “Belle Fleur”. They claimed the 3rd place in the St. Georg tournament at the riding tournament in Bremen. “Belle Fleur” was able to relax in this nice fall weather on the pasture afterwards.

Horse care. An important task before riding

Beside the paddock and pasture runs and contact to fellow horses, the care is one of the most important tasks for us in regards to appropriate keeping. Before riding the horse is cleaned not only for the sake of cleanliness but especially to warm up and massage the muscles. The horses savor the treatment and every so often one is stretching when the right spot is treated. (As seen in the video)
