Slow Fox V Sold to Anna Katharina Luttgen
January 13, 2003
 Double
European Young Riders Champion Horse Slow Fox has a
new rider and owner. The 18-year old Anna Katharina
Luttgen from Kerpen, Germany, has purchased the chestnut
gelding from former young rider Nicola Giesen. Luttgen
is trained by Heidi Bemelmans and will keep the horse
at her family's stable Gut Mödrath.
The 12-year old Dutch bred Slow Fox (by Saros xx) has
been Giesen's medal winning mount since 1999. The pair
then made its debut on the German junior riders' scene,
qualifying for the German team to represent the country
at the European Junior Riders Championships. The pair
stormed to the top, becoming Europe's most successful
young rider ever. Winning team and individual gold at
the 1999 European Junior Riders Championships, team
gold and a fourth individual place at the 2000 European
Young Riders Championships, team silver and individual
gold at the 2001 and team and individual gold at the
2002 European Young Riders Championships, as well as
the 2001 Euro Future Cup Overall victory, Giesen has
produced a list of achievements hardly impossible to
improve by a rider of such an age.
Hoping to make the transition to Grand Prix, Giesen
decided to sell Slow Fox as he was having too much difficulty
with the piaffe and passage. Giesen also has the Grand
Prix horse Roche in training, but has not been able
to make any remarkable winning performances with that
horse so far. Nicola Giesen is trained by Heiner Schiergen.
