“In the past there was a lot of horse people, now there is a lot of people with horses”. This is one great thing I learned from Arno, putting the horse, his care and knowledge about it first, to realise the importance of being a horseman not only a rider. Along with so many other great aspects I learned from Arno about the sport; discipline, hard work, focus, the importance of setting solid realistic training plans and committing to it in order to move ahead with my equestrian career.

Thank you Arno for all your support and the knowledge I was able to learn from you. You are a great, honest and dear role model for me and for a lot of my equestrian colleagues.
