Already from a very early age I was magically drawn to horses. I longed to win the trust of these magnificent creatures, hoping that they would permit me sitting on their back, so that we are able to move together with the harmony and ease of a ballet dancer. Right from the start I was looking for good trainers who could teach me the appropriate ways of a friendly and sensitive handling of the horse. Throughout my life I worked with different coaches. Not only in Germany but also during my time spent in England and Brazil. As a newspaper journalist I followed for about ten years the changes in the breeding of the Hessen horse from a heavy working horse to a modern sports horse. 25 years ago I started with a Hessen mare to breed Warmblood horses. In the year 2000 I began to breed Lipizzaner, in remembrance of my long lasting love for this ancient baroque breed. I gained my spurs riding a Lipizzan stallion in the early sixties. Together with my husband we established the Lipizzan stud "Unter den Linden".
