In addition to Sam he rides a number of other Württemberg horses, such as Weidezaunprofi’s FBW River of Joy, Roché and Halunke FBW. Michael is also the co-initiator of an international youth camp where junior and young riders from different countries not only learn the principles of horsemanship and riding, but are also taught valuable lessons about tolerance and integration. Needless to say Michael is one of the regular instructors at the camp. When asked what his plans are with Sam, Michael just smiles

But in the meantime, there are the next World Equestrian Games in France and other important events, including Badminton. It’s doubtful the world has seen the last of Michael and Sam, an originally unimpressive horse whose story is now an inspiration to eventers and equestrians worldwide.
