Tail swishing, gives a little buck in the first transition to piaffe.
But then—of course—gets very good. This is a beautiful horse,
presented wonderfully, and exhibiting the training that is the hallmark
of Dr. Schulten-Baumer—beautiful fluency, solid engagement, lots of
energy and wonderful behind.
And of course, it helps to have Isabell Werth in the middle of the
saddle, always in balance, always in the middle, always giving it her
all. The canter work, especially the extended canter, really good. and
the final move—a one-handed extended trot up centerline, is gutsy and
works!
But there are elements missing: Antony does not have It.

| Interview
with Isabell |
What do you do to be
so successful with so many horses for such a long time?
My trainer, Dr. Uwe
Schulten-Baumer started very early to buy young and talented
horses for me. While I was successful with the other horses
Weingart, Fabienne or Gigolo these horses matured in the
background. In the beginning there were only one or two young
horses, now I have up to ten horses at my disposal.
How do you motivate your horses to be successful?
This again is the result of our optimal cooperation. You can not
make it on your own. Of course you may win a competition here and
there, but when Uwe is not present in the background there is
always something I miss. What would he say now?
Uwe Schulten-Baumer is a perfectionist and it sometimes is hard to
do what he expects from me, but I think this is the secret of our
success. To learn from your weak moments and manage to get out of
it. And he has a special talent to seek out young, talented
horses. All the horses came to us at the age of three or four
years and only have to prove that they bring with them some basic
talents. Time will show if they confirm our estimations. Thank God
we had been very lucky with our horses during the past.
What's a typical day?
If I don’t have a date at the court or at the law firm
(Isabell Werth is a practicing attorney), I start at 8 in the
morning at the barn and have a break at about midday. Then I
continue from three to six or half past six. This I call a
‘luxury day’! Once a week we have a meeting of the associates
at Essen, on those days I’m at the stables from half past two in
the afternoon to eight in the evening. Usually I take out five
horses for riding. This is similar on court-days.
How much do you travel?
I’m on the road about 30 to 35 weekends a year.
Would you change anything if you could start over?
I would do everything just the same. It was that day in my
lifetime, when Dr. Schulten-Baumer came to me and asked me if I
would ride there. This chance was the key to success in my life
and I got so much out of it: Enjoyment, highs and lows too. To say
it in a more theatrical way: Each laugh and each tear I would like
to have again! There are not too many kinds of sports that are so
intensive because you double your emotions by working with horses.
You always have to find out the horse's reaction early. This is
much more intensive than other sports like tennis, soccer or
anything else. |
