Final Schism Between Isabell Werth and Uwe Schulten-Baumer
 The
final schism between the most successful dressage rider
ever Isabell Werth and her trainer Dr Uwe Schulten-Baumer
has been made official. At the end of October 2001,
Werth already left the training facility in Rheinberg
to relocate at Madeleine Winter-Schulze's stable in
Mellendorf, Germany, but Werth remained under the professional
supervision of Schulten-Baumer. Unfortunately, this
has come to an end to and Isabell Werth is not completely
going her own way.
For 15 years, Werth and Schulten-Baumer were the dynamic
duo on the German and international dressage scene,
claiming trophy after trophy. The 76-year-old Schulten-Baumer
shows obvious signs of sadness and even a broken heart,
because of this schism. "Of course it hurts,"
Schulten-Baumer said. "We have worked together
for such a long time." Together, the duo claimed
19 gold medals at world and European championships and
Olympic Games. Although Werth claims that she owes every
twist of fortune to Schulten-Baumer, Werth has taken
a new turn in life. Not only did she accepted a job
in the marketing department of Karstadt, but she also
moved into a new house and received new sponsors and
a new trainer. Isabell Werth is currently training with
the 44-year old Wolfram Wittig.
