RELEVANT - a journey to the past

It was a special moment for Leonie as the telephone call came from Gudula Vorwerk asking if she could help with riding the stallions for the Gestüt Vorwerk stallion presentation in Vechta. As in the past year Leonie would again ride DON GREGORY (v. Donnerhall). In addition this year she was given the honor of riding olympic vetran RELEVANT (v. Rubinstein). From Leonies "Hinnemann years" she and RELEVANT were well acquainted. Leonie rode RELEVANT during 1997 and also qualified and competed him at the German young horse championships in the 6 year old class. Even at his early stage Leonie was certain that she was sitting on a super talent who was destined for higher levels!

That RELEVANT even today still counts as one of Leonies favorite horses was clear to see during the Vorwerk stallion presentation. Taking into consideration that they only had two days time to get reacquainted they presented a picture of elegance and harmony.

A repeat performance before the huge crowd during the stallion show at the Equitana in Essen a week later was equally as impressive. Together with Ingrid Kimke and ROYAL DIAMOND (v. Rubinstein), Leonie and RELEVANT demonstrated Grand Prix at its finest.

GRAND SLAM for team Hannover - South

A first time hattrick was the reward for the hard work of Hannover-Souths Team, Never before has one team managed to take the wins at all four of the team competitions (German Classics, Pferd and Jagd , Verden and Braunschweig), With fabulous scores of 9, 9.5, and 9 there was no stopping the dynamic quadruple: Leonie Bramall (FINESSE), Iris Schimanovski, Julia Werner and Thomas Scholz.

OLIVER TWIST - trakehner stallion show

Under the skillful direction of Leonie Bramall during the Trakehner Stallion show in Munster OLIVER TWIST presented himself in classic form with three lovely basic gaits and balanced silhouette. The now four years old OLIVER TWIST was honored with the title premium stallion at the stallion approval and will pursue his competition career under the careful direction of Leonie Bramall.
