There was a special request put in for a traditonal type of German meal – turkey, boiled potatoes, red cabbage and German bread.


Clemens is still recovering (so he claims!) from the Hagen CDI and teaching me. I apparently make him work too hard with no rest. It is so good to have him here despite all his little complaints – thanks Judy!

Also, in regards to Mannheim, the first Aussie London Olympic Qualifier, we are leaving on Thursday, the vet inspection is Friday and the Grand Prix is Saturday (5th May). All of us Aussies getting ready for the head-to-head at Mannheim. It will be great to see some familiar faces though. It will be quite a show and I’m so looking forward to it.
At last the weather has improved enormously over the past two days, reaching 24 degrees, and dare I say it, hot. T-shirt weather. I must have acclimatised.
Happy riding!
