Eurocheval
Fair, Offenburg |
|
Nicole Liebelt
with her champion TWH gelding, Jim Knopf, made the
most impressive show at the 2006 Eurocheval,
unrolling a flag with smoke and thunder!
|
|
A bit more
sedate participants at the Eurocheval
representation of the TWH breed were
Franziska Liebelt with gelding Beam's
Playboy and Maryan Zyderveld with Pride's
Dutch Dixie. The weather was blazing hot,
but we were all dressed formally! |
|
There the
three of us are out at the show grounds,
Franziska at left, Maryan and Nicole under
the American flag, which is carried by the
carriage, almost hidden from view, with
driver Russell Walker Keyser. |
|
|
|
In front
of the participants, our banner was carried
in: Get on.....Be moved....Smoothly....,
this job was done on turns by some of the
many helpers at the show, even by Mr.
Charles Hulsey, our TWHBEA Executive
Director, himself! |
|
Not to
forget our speaker at Offenburg's Eurocheval,
TWHBEA Director for Germany, Frank Jugert,
assisted by Margarete Malberg. In full
swing, Frank is providing information on the
breed and little stories on each of us,
towering over the small ring where we gave a
little demo several times a day, in more
casual dress. |
|
|
|
After one of the
shows we made a group picture of all six
participants, from left to right: Maryan, Nicole,
Russell, Denise Bader, Franziska, Cathleen Balz,
hidden behind us the helpers keeping the banner!

Wickrath, Mönchengladbach
FRG |
At the Wickrath
Summer Fair (Mönchengladbach, Germany), organized by
the Rheinisches Pferdestammbuch, various horsebreeds
were presented, surely also the Tennessee Walking
Horse. Two stallions approved by the Rheinisches
Pferdestammbuch were shown, as well as a mare with
foal. Able speaker commenting on the horses and the
breed was the TWHBEA director for Germany, Frank
Jugert.
|
|
The two approved
breeding stallions were shown in classical English
show-outfit (Pushing Midnights Shade with Ulrike
Munnes-Jugert up) and in Western style (Buster's Fair
Leroy with Maryan Zyderveld up).
Here's a picture of
Buster's Fair Leroy, being attentive to his rider and
unimpressed by the multitude of onlookers! |
