THE PHILOSOPHY

With Piet Raymakers and Ludger Beerbaum „the wonder mare“ won the World Cup Finals, the European Champion- ships, the Grand Prix of Aachen, individual Olympic Silver, double Olympic Team Gold, Team Gold at the World Championships and twice team gold at the European Championships, just to name the highlights.
