In agreement with the owners Gabriele Kippert and Eva Maria Mann and Sissy Max-Theurer Stud Vorwerk, I have withdrawn Roman and Sisters Act from the planned starts in the Grand Prix and the Louisdor Prize in Oldenburg. We are already on our way home.
Unfortunately, the surface of the warm-up arena in the EWE Arena was extremely deep and slippery. Although this was supposed to be remedied and there was the possibility to train in the show arena yesterday evening after the last competition, the ground was also not good there. This morning there was no improvement at all.
I don't want to risk any injuries to the horses! It is a pity, because Sisters Act would have had a ticket to the Louisdor Prize Final today.
And she had already recommended herself yesterday with a superior victory in the Inter II before today's qualification for the International Festhalle Show in Frankfurt Schafhof Connects. And for Roman, the AGRAVIS Cup was to herald the start of the indoor Grand Prix season.
But the conditions have to be optimal for the horses. When it comes to health and welfare, I make no compromises with my horses.
