On dressage shows the huge black stallion always attracted a lot of attention. At the beginning of his life his size was a problem though. After his birth he was so big that he could not reach his mother and he had to be fed by bottle. That’ why everybody called him from that day on “Bobbele”.

Excellently schooled in classical dressage he won countless tests with Erich, Sabine and also with their riding students. Not only as a show horse he proved his quality also as a first class schoolmaster. He tought the students how it feels correctly.

It is still his job to teach students a seat that is independant from the hand. If a student does not apply the aids in the correct way he just doesn’t move and he will not accept it.
