After a fourteen year long collaboration with Ludger Beerbaum, Marco Kutscher has decided to start a new chapter and relocate from Riesenbeck to Bad Essen. Starting on 1st July 2014, he will be running a showjumping stable alongside his long-time girlfriend Eva Bitter. On Ludger Beerbaum's website it is stated that taking this decision proved difficult due to the successful and productive collaboration of the past years. Both parties wish to maintain a professional and private relationship. "I'm sorry to see Marco leave our stable. He was definitely more than just an employee for me. Nevertheless, I understand his decision and wish him all the best for the future," Ludger Beerbaum states.  Source: Grandprix Replay
