Today Flashback had an easy training session in Aachen.
The clear goal for our training this morning was to get Flashback even better accustomed to the atmosphere of this big event. The many spectators and the applause made him feel very insecure and irritated at his first start, so it is all the more important to me that he feels comfortable here. Aachen is always special, especially for inexperienced horses, the huge stadium, the hustle and bustle and the many people...
It is extremely important to me that my horses are also mentally strong. But of course that is something that can only be achieved with time, a lot of rest and routine. I hope that our session today helped Flashback to "settle in" better on the showground and to show his potential tomorrow in the Intermediaire.
