2004 Vorwerk Stallion Show
The Vorwerk Stallion Show: Wilcox and Relevant
Charm the Crowd
 The
Vorwerk show was a parade of Vorwerk stallions, offsprings
and foals. After the Rohdiamant get, stallions
such as Rubinero, Revan and Royal Diamond (not so good
as at the Althengst Parade). I was back awake when
a grey Royal Diamond offspring out of a Veltenthird
dam came in the ring. Owned by Gestut Hoftehof
and ridden by Daniela Domnick, this big boy was an
imposing mover with a phenomenal trot. After the break,
Roadster came into the ring followed by a very nice
get of his out of a Don Gregory mare; a liver chestnut
youngster owned by E. Bunjes. Very nice supple horse.Don
Gregory himself showed the piaffe-passage and tempi
changes under Leonie Brammall (no extensions).
 The
highlight
for most visitors was the appearance of Relevant
under Lisa Wilcox. The American steals everyone's heart
with
her charm and love for horses. "Relevant is like
china for more. He can easily get broken and I need
to spare
him," Wilcox said, "that's why I'm going to ride
some exercises and that'll be it." Uwe Heckmann shouted
over the microphone praising Lisa and wishing her
luck
at the Olympics in Athens while Wilcox rode the FEI
movements. She missed on change in the tempi's and
Lisa's reply in the microphone was just "oops". It
was just endearing.
Relevant is a superb sport horses and can be considered
a serious candidate for an Olympic medal in Athens
if all goes well.
