Story |
| |
| Before
the success there was the love for the creature - the horse.
It was the passion for the equestrian sport, for the harmony
between horse and rider and the fierce determination why she
devoted herself to this sport. Sabine´s first love at
the age of six was the pony mare “Taiga”, a present
from her parents. |
| |
 |
|
| |
At
the age of 14 Sabine qualified for the German Junior
Championships for the first time.
Sabine´s first big breakthrough came when she was 17.
With her mount “Alassio” she won the team and
the individual gold medal at the European Championships in
Cervia, Italy. At the same time she received the Golden Rider´s
Badge awarded by the German Federation for 10 victories at
higher FEI-levels. |

|
| |
| Sabine
managed to win four times double gold at European and at German
Championships for Young Riders in a row. Moreover she won
the small tour at the CHIO Aachen and at the CDI Wiesbaden
several times. This outstanding success has never been repeated
since and Sabine is well aware that she owes much of her success
to the strong support she received from her parents during
her time as a Young Rider. |

|
| |
| With
“Epernay” – her Gold Medal horse
at the 1991 German Young Rider Championships- Sabine attained
her first season at Grand Prix with many scores and high
rankings in the high 60´s.
Another big leap in Sabine´s career was her nomination
for the German longlist called “B-Kader” at
the age of 21. A prestigious achievement in a country with
hundreds of Grand Prix riders. Her partner was called “Rosario”
who had been trained by Sabine´s father Hans.
With Rosario she earned her first victories in Grand Prix
and high rankings at famous CDI´s like Aachen, Stuttgart
and Donaueschingen. In 1998 she won the FEI-Grand Prix Freestyle
at the Rolinck Cup in Münster after very high rankings
in the Grand Prix and the GPS the days before. |

 |
|
| |
| Another
successful mount for both, national and international
podium was “Giovanni”. He achieved numerous
high rankings and victories in Grand Prix with Sabine, especially
an excellent 2nd place in the FEI-Grand Prix Freestyle of
the CDI-Tour at the CHIO Aachen behind Anky van Grunsven
and the victory in the Grand Prix Special of the Oldenburger
Horse Days 1998.
The
horses “Derby” and “Weltfuerst”
came to Sabine´s barn in 2000. Both horses already
competed successfully at the World Championships for young
horses before Sabine picked up their training and qualified
both of them for the final of the Nürnberger Burgpokal,
the stallion Weltfuerst twice in a row. |

The
Seasons of 2004 and 2005 were successful with various victories
at FEI-level and two highlights being a 3rd place in the
FEI-Grand Prix-Freestyle with Layout at the Rolinck Cup
in Münster and a 3rd place in the FEI-Grand Prix-Freestyle
of Aubenhausen with Bon-Bon.
These past two years Sabine took on new challenges and focused
on establishing her own business.
Speaking of Challenge! One of Sabine´s mottos
is a famous quote by Hisham Lamei “challenges demand
smart ideas, vision, controllable complexity and spirit
for change”. She strives to live by this
dictum every day.
