When Dr. Uwe Schulten Baumer was asked to stand up
and expound his opinions at the International Trainers
Club conference in Germany, he remained seated in the
company of the world's professional trainers, saying
for him dressage was 'just a hobby'.
Dr. Uwe Schulten Baumer Junior, a busy consultant in
a hospital, was the man to beat in the early eighties.
German National Champion in 1979, '80 and '82, a string
of Grand Prix and Special victories in the 'hottest'
venues - Aachen, Berlin, Dortmund and Rotterdam were
crowned with the 1981 European Championship where he
finally triumphed over Christine Stuckelberger and Granat
who had kept him in silver medal position in the '78
World Championships. His two best known horses were
Slibowitz and Madras. His father was the man who guided
him all the way.
In 1986 he gave control over the reins to Isabell Werth,
his star pupil which he discovered in a nearby barn.
"Der Doktor", as Werth calls him, is responsible for
the purchase of new potential and is there on the sideline
to follow every step in the training of his horses.
"His mind is a treasure of experience and he's always
able to create the correct training programme for each
horse," commented Werth.
"Three partners, equally important: rider, horse and
trainer. I owe everything to Dr Uwe Schulten Baumer.
He daily provides me with great insights in the training
of young dressage horses as well as our big Grand Prix
stars," said Isabell Werth.
