Carmen Thiemann

Carmen is the very soul of the stable. She has a unique gift of communicating with horses and understanding their needs so that she is able to provide ideal care for each horse. No-one knows horses better than she! Carmen has full responsibility for the management of the stable and because of her great competence I am able to focus on my work with the horses in peace. She is always positive, has excellent organizational skills and even in difficult, pressure-filled situations her calm reliability and gift with both people and horses makes her irreplaceable for me and for the other members of the team. In 2013 Carmen has won the “Best Groom” title at the FEI Awards and 2020 “Best groom of the decade”! No one has earned this more than Carmen!

Valerie Kampe

Valerie could ride before she could walk and has lots of experience. She was in the pony dressage and eventing squads in Hessen and has competed successfully in show jumping up to a high level.

She trained with Mark Todd and Andrew Scott during her time in New Zealand. It came as no surprise that once she finished studying media and communication management  that she then wanted to complete her classic riding traineeship.

Valerie is an open minded and helpful person. She is brave and secure in the saddle and is able to adapt very quickly to various types of horses.

Valerie, our other trainee, Milea and the work experience student hold the fort at home when Carmen and I are away at competitions.

Milea Pasche

As Milea applied for a position with us, there was unfortunately no room for a working student. So instead she started with Sophie Leube, one of my former riders. She made a lasting impression there!

The way she treats the horses, her friendly and willing attitude immediately impressed all of us too.

Milea is hard working, knowledgeable and trust worthy. In the saddle she has a balanced seat and lots of feel.

She is in charge of the Open Training, together with our other working student.

The property of Schulze Bruening

is perfect for my horses. Here we enjoy large, bright box stalls on the floor of an old threshing barn, a large arena, beautiful grounds, great hacking and meadows for turnout. We have ideal conditions for keeping horses so they feel well and this is the basis from which we can carry out good training.
