In Guttecoven there have been a few changes among the four-legged habitants. Horses we have recently sold are Celtic Sonata, Evita Imhoff and Noble Lady. The first one was bought by Paul Schockemohle and the latter two went to the same ambitious rider who bought earlier Indira and Melansa from us. Newcomers we have recently bought are Calero, a 4-year old Holstein, Cranini, a 2 year old Holstein stallion and Trokadero, a 3 year old SWB gelding.

Verona, with its 260,000 inhabitants, has a wealth of Roman sights to visit, and the amphitheatre, known as the Arena, is top of the list. This international show jumping competition will involve three days of superb events culminating on Sunday in the Grand Prix, the third round (after events in Oslo and Helsinki) of the Western Europe League of the circuit.

Sunday: Noora had a very unlucky last line.
