Graf George Competes For the Last Time
Under
Guenter Seidel, the Hanoverian gelding Graf George (by
Graphit x More Magic xx) placed ninth in the individual
1998 WEG Rankings. With three scores in the range
of 70%, Guenter Seidel was the top scoring American
rider at WEG this year.
Graf George's international success started at the
1992 Olympic Games of Barcelona where he and Michael
Poulin were on the Bronze medal winning team. Four years
later the gray gelding entered the Olympic arena again,
ridden by Guenter Seidel. Along with the performances
of Udon, Peron and Metallic, Graf George was able to
reconquer the bronze team medal.
Graf George will now reside in Carlsbad, CA at the
home of his owners, Richard and Jane Brown. In his retirement,
he will be ridden as long as he pleases. The 1998 WEG
in Rome was his final competition.
