The Obituary for My Best Horse Ever
One of my students named her “Frau Professor” and that’s exactly what she was; Utina was my masterpiece. She’s the one who made me take a three-month break from the Riding Institute [von Neindorff], she was that difficult to ride. Her sensibility always got in her way. She was [...]
Pedro the Western horse
Pedro was an Appaloosa-Spanish cross. He came to me as a six year-old in 1999 for training, shortly after I bought Utina, and was supposed to be sold. He’d been ridden Western in a very sensitive and refined way, so converting him to classical dressage was no problem at [...]
Escadalo the bullfighter

Contessa Westphalian Warmblood
Contessa by Captain came to us in 2003 as a nine-year old. We took her over from a student who had to relocate for professional reasons and no longer had enough time for her own horse. Because Contessa had spent most of her life with him, she grieved that [...]
Elfenherz by Elfengeist (Trak.)
He was sired by Elfengeist and out of Akazie from Argentina, one of the best broodmares at the Schlossaecker Stud. He came to my barn as a freshly-started three year-old. At that time, Patric started the youngstock as general riding horses and was enchanted by his calm composure and [...]
“Wotan” – how it all began
Wotan by Widukind Wotan – How It All Began Wotan by Widukind My “riding career” at the Riding Institute von Neindorff began with Wotan. I got him when I was 18 years old and was just able to afford a horse of my own. He was a Trakehner by [...]
