Relampago do Retiro has been my most outstanding and important horse to date. Together we made our international debut, Grand Prix debut, were the best Australian combination at the 2008 Olympic Games, represented Australia at the 2010 World Equestrian Games and travelled the globe representing Australia and the lusitano breed.
Queenie is a mare by De Niro and owned by the Katzorke Family of Essen, Germany. Perhaps one of the most beautiful and talented horses that I have been lucky enough to be associated with, we came together mid way through 2007, enjoying an incredibly successful throughout the 2008 and early 2009 season with numerous wins and placings in the international small tour arena including winning the PSG in Dortmund, 2nd placings in Lingen, Balve, Wickrath and Aachen and 5th in the very prestigious Nurnber Berg Pokal Final in Frankfurt.
Ferra is a modern, black beauty by Ferro. Owned and previously ridden by Daniel Ramseier I am very happy to welcome her to my team for 2010.
With a Grand Prix victory already to her credit under Daniel we are anxiously preparing for our first competition together. She is impressive, sporty, sensitive and incredibly elegant!
Franz is a bay gelding owned by Franz and Silke Helmke of Germany. I trained him for two and a half years now and 2009 saw him compete in his first FEI competitions.
Franz is a very sensitive horse with a 'funny man' personality who was motivated to work, learn and he just loves to compete. 2009 saw Franz earn serveral wins and placings in the small tour and in the begining of 2010 he made is Grand prix debut.
Violino transmits the beauty and elegance of the Lusitano horse to his progeny, with substance and impressive gaits. His first foal, Damasco do Retiro, was Champion Yearling out of 25 animals.
Stallion Great Champion in 2007 gold medal winner. Silver Medal at International 2006. His first son Damasco do Retiro was a one-year-old Young Stallion Champion in 2007 winning a Gold medal. He has been in France since last two year under training for dressage career.
Ribery actually accompanied Relampago and I when we moved from Germany to Switzerland as his owners Daniel Ramseier and Helde Carvalho believed we would be a suitable match.
It was love at first sight with this beautiful 6 yr old Rubels x Ferragamo stallion. Ribery is flamboyant, intelligent, beautiful and with a really positive attitude to life and his training. We are concentrated for the moment on his training and are hopeful of big things for the future.
Unicornio is an all round cool guy and I am having a lot of fun training with him. With the typical highly intelligent lusitano mind and sensitivity I believe that it will not take too long before he joins my international competition team for the big sport....
Unicornio do Retiro is currently one of the most successful Cremello stallions, with several Gold Standard medals, Champion of Champions 2006 and Champion Progeny 2009 in Brazil.
Owned by Family Taubert of Hunxe I was lucky to be associated with Rousseau from 2006 until 2010. Together we enjoyed success in the international Small Tour arena with wins at Horses and Dreams 2009 in the PSG and the Inter 1 Kur. Rousseau will now continue his career with owner Sarah in the junior and i wish them all the very best for the future!
Goldy is a 9 yr old Lusitano stallion owned and bred by Eduardo Fischer of Villa do Retiro, Brasil. We have not been together very long but this little guy is full of personality, full of power and full of energy... Let's see what the future brings?
