Eppelheim Tournament

We went to Eppelheim for a dressage tournament this weekend. Ray was a bit nervous on Friday evening due to some water sprinkling on the neighbouring court...



..., so we took Andor today. He stayed cool and again was well placed in his second tournament. This time a 5th place, very good.

Whitsun vacation (3): Lovely Schwerin

Part 3 of the weekend adventures in Mecklenburg was a visit at the BUGA, the Bundesgartenschau, the federal gardening exhibition in my hometown Schwerin.

The exhibition is nicely integrated into the park landscape around the castle and lakefront and has lots of flowers and also art to show.









A whole day of walking in the sun makes quite tired.

Whitsun vacation (2): Seaside

Part 2 of the short adventures in Mecklenburg was a visit at the sea. We took the old railway "Molli" from Kühlungsborn to Heiligendamm and walked back at the beach.

Whitsun vacation (1): Safari

Astrid and me have two weeks whitsun vacation. Except a short visit in Mecklenburg we decided to stay at home for most of the time and care about our home and horses.

But even if it was a short visit, we had a lot of adventures on the way. Part 1 was a safari trip which our Volvo luckily survived without any harm, even the monkeys tried everything to take it apart.

Horse & Run

This weekend was full of sportive events. Saturday Astrid had a dressage tournament in Michelstadt and because Ray was ill we put Andor in the trailer and he had to run his first tournament.

What to say, Astrid and Andor did a great job and became second. It couldn´t have been better.



Sunday I went to Frankfurt for the skyrun on top of the Messeturm. 61 storeys, 1344 stairs in 8:29 min. I was satisfied, 52 seconds faster than in 2007. I´m looking forward to more stair running.

My Cousins Wedding

Anike and Christian got married in Ratzeburg, a small scenic town on the border between Mecklenburg and Schleswig-Holstein. He is the first of my uncles six sons to get married, so some more weddings will follow :)

See Astrid and me in front of the Ratzeburg cathedral...



...and my family on the wedding party.
