Gigolo Rejoined with Isabell Werth
Germany's
most successful dressage horse ever has been rejoined
with his steady rider and partner Isabell Werth. The
Hanoverian gelding Gigolo FRH (by Graditz) stayed with
his owner Dr Uwe Schulten-Baumer when Werth switched
trainers and relocated from Rheinberg to Mellendorf
in Germany. The 19-year old Gigolo stayed at Schulten-Baumer's
and was ridden by one of the stable mates, but the situation
recently changed.
After long pleading by Madeleine Winter and her husband
Dieter Schulze, Gigolo will now be enjoying his retirement
at their place in Mellendorf, where Isabell is currently
training her four horses: Anthony, Apache, Richard Kimble
and Satchmo. Gigolo will often go out in the fields
with Priamos, Ludger Beerbaum's former show jumping
mount. Gigolo and Isabell Werth earned 883.918 Deutsch
Marks of prize money and became the most winning couple
of the dressage scene.
