other horses! And especially his best buddy Kentucky. The two of them stand next to each other in the box, together in the paddock and scratch each other's manes all day long. Pete is generally a very social horse.
Clearly: cold water. We always have to hose Pete's legs down with warm water - nothing below 38 degrees works.
Imhotep came to me at the beginning of 2025 and I found out about my pregnancy a little later. And honestly, nothing better could have happened to us! Because all the pressure from outside and inside, as well as all the expectations, fell away from us. I had the feeling relatively quickly that we had found a good match. But it's only now, looking back, that I realise what else is involved and how strong our relationship has become.
It was often said that he could get very hot and wild, but he looked after us right up until the last day before the birth and wasn't explosive at all.
From a sporting point of view, I can't and don't want to follow in the footsteps of his trainer Charlotte Dujardin. We'll just do our thing, and 2026 will be our first show season!
This horse is in a good mood every day, he feels equally good every day. That is very special. The pirouettes and the piaffe-passage tour are real teaching highlights, as are the changes, he can do everything!
