International Trakehner Stallion Market Neumünster 2008
The Gala Show
In 2008, the Gala was mostly influenced by dressage horses, and while it had a jumper highlight with Heops being bid farewell from competition, he was not shown over jumps. Hirtentanz was the only one shown over hurdles - and as usual, he did a fantastic job! Highlights also included the presentation of the "Stallion of the Year", Kostolany with his breeder Otto Langels, and an inspiring demonstration of classical dressage training with Dorothee Schneider onboard Kaiserkult TSF alongside her trainer, former Spanish Riding School master Hans Riegler.
Here are the most besutiful photos, all courtesy of Jutta Bauernschmitt and Dr. Peter Richterich, for you to enjoy!
