How to School a Champion

The Horsemagazine Interviews Lisa Wilcox and Ernst Hoyos

Chris Hector writes, "I must confess I love nothing better than sitting on the side of an arena, watching a really talented rider work really talented horses. This I guess is one of the reasons I keep visiting the Gestüt Vorwerk, because the riders – and the horses - don't come more talented than you find at the famed Oldenburg stud. Lisa Wilcox and Ernst Hoyos form a magic partnership with Gudula Vorwerk and her world-famous team of dressage stallions.

There is no doubt that the most successful dressage stallion in the world today is the Rubinstein son, Relevant. ‘Relly' was a mega-star at the last World Championships in Jerez where he was a crucial contributor to the United States' historic team silver medal placing. At Aachen last month, Relevant and Lisa were second in the Grand Prix (to Ernst's other star pupil, Ulla Salzgeber with Rusty) with 73.54, and followed that up with a 77.04% in the Special and an 82.39% in the Freestyle."
