Pas de Deux under star studed evening sky

During the Stallion Parade by night, Leonie had the honor of riding a Pas de Deux with Obersattelmeister Wolfhard Witte. Leonie and Wolfhard presented DANCIER (De Niro) and RASCALINO ( Rotspon) before a full house. The two black stallions seemed to dance over the grass of the Parade Courtyard before the Historical Buildings of the Celle State Stud. A wonderful evening with an electric atmosphere and lots of fun!
