2004 Vorwerk Stallion Show

The Vorwerk Stallion Show: Oluf's Brilliant Idea: Champagne

Vorwerk's Jazz Time closed the 2004 stallion show by demonstrating mostly spectacular trot extensions. "I rode him as last beause I know I can control him," Wilcox said. At the end of every stallion show, the audience gets so wild that adrenaline rushes everywhere, even in the horse's veins. Naturally, it's vital that a rider can stay in the saddle at that moment.

When the show was over our little Danish/Belgian group went to the stables where Lone's husband Oluf decided to celebrate Rosentanz' successful show ring debut with two delicious Veuve Cliquot champagne bottles.

We didn't really loiter for long in the stables because Oluf and Lone still had to drive back to Denmark (5-hour drive), while Thomas and I needed to get back home to Belgium. On the road we discussed the Vorwerk show in detai,l but were also often silent, just thinking and recollecting the piles of impressions we had gathered in a tumultuous two-day tour through Niedersachsen. I was home at 9 PM, totally wasted.
