Training, development, sport and sales – the success of Koschel Dressage doesn’t stand on one leg. Therefore there are lots of horses and riders who have had their first sporting success or received their last ribbon before retirement while training with Juergen and Christoph.
For example, Wildest Dream and Aperol, who were in the 6 yr. old Final at the Federal Championships with Christoph and after further success at a high level were sold to the USA. Or Hugo Simon’s Gladstone who became a world class horse, the small wonder mare Vera Cruz who won 150 S classes; Pizarro who won approximately 80 S classes and naturally Davinia, Christoph’s partner at the Federal Championships, 2 Nuernberg Burg Pokal Finals and internationally successful at Grand Prix level. The grey mare stands as a championship hopeful by the Swedish squad rider Tinne Vilhelmson.
