July: 4 weekends - 4 tournaments
Beside my job the July was also a heavy months for tournaments for us.
We participated in Heddesheim, Dossenheim, Großsachsen and Hemsbach, all in the Rhine-Neckar-Area around Mannheim. Partly we had 3 horses with us (Andor, Ray and Amurat), so my job as a "tournament wally" was really stressfull.
But it was also very rewarding month. Andor, our young haflinger, scored 2 first, 1 second and 2 third places, a great achievement in only 1 month.
Below you see Andor during his performance in Dossenheim with Astrid on top...

...and smiling afterwards with his award.

In Hemsbach Andor got the special James Bond number and scored 3rd.

Busy working month
July was a very busy month at work with a lot of interesting experiences. We had a lot of people from all over the world in Switzerland for the final testing of the system we implement. But the old saying goes: Work hard, party hard.
Therefore we also did a team event with all the the people from around the world in Basel going around in an old tram. See the team below:

Some other team events this month were the Company running event on the Formula1 race track Hockenheimring, the yearly Summer Party and a sailing trip on the Lake Constance. See below some photos:
