Knight Riding – Fire Show – Garrocha Riding – Working Equitation –
NO problem for this couple!
A man and his Mare, a couple that is at home on every stage – be it theatre, equitana or working equitation!
The two of them are real all-rounders, show talents – a refreshing performance from Hessen and „old hands“ in working equitation which can look back on many successes.
Not everyone can handle a mare – Mitja can do it!

Some words about character, merits, bad habits?
She is very wealthy and is full of heart, very brave and quick as lightning. Unfortunately, she is very moody as a mare (but gets better every day) and fortunately she says less and less, but still every now and then, from the bottom of her heart, no…
