The 11-year-old gelding, DSP Cool Hill, has jumped several times in the limelight with the rider over the past five years. Recently the pair won the CSI2* Grand Prix in Munich-Riem.  Also in Lamprechtshausen earlier this year the combination jumped on the 1.45m podium.

"We have been a couple for the past five years. In the beginning it was growing towards each other.  Quickly we became a top team. We achieved a CSI5* Grand Prix placing in Aachen ourselves."

"Not only did I have to say goodbye to Cool Hill, but also to my beloved ′′red lady ′′ Cecile 😥" she writes further.
