On my account you will get daily insights into our pony everyday life. You can also follow us on our journey together in the sport of Mounted Games.
How did I get into horses/ what is my "equine" background:
Although I don't come from a riding family, I discovered my love for horses very early. It started with the fact that we always borrowed a Shetty after kindergarten and ran with it through the forest ;) After that I was in vaulting, in a pony group and later I got "real" riding lessons. At some point I was able to persuade my parents to give me my own pony. That's when Lila came into my life!
My absolute favorite horse:
of course Lila
My most beautiful experience in connection with horses:
The many international tournaments over the last two years and then the European Championship title with Lila. I am particularly proud of that because I trained her myself.
What is important to me in dealing, keeping and training with the horse:
Since Lila lives in the open stable, she has become much more balanced. I couldn't even imagine her in a box anymore. Otherwise, we try to make the exercise as varied as possible for her and also incorporate "head work". Lila loves tricks!
Life motto:
Never give up!
Personal tip for our followers:
Always try something new, maybe even Mounted Games? ;)
Biggest strength:
Courage and ambition
Biggest weakness:
Impatience
