Talking To FormaHoof

FormaHoof

Who is your equestrian idol?

Lennard

My equestrian Idol is Marcus Ehning. He is a superb rider with so much feel for the horse. He has also achieved so much over his career, with many European Championship medals to his name and team Gold from the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

When did you start riding?

Lennard

I started riding when I was 7 Years old.

FormaHoof

Tell us about your first horse or pony?

Lennard

My first pony was called Mickey. He was 13hh and was a Deutsches Reitpony. He had a stubborn personality and did not make things easy for me at first! However, I did my first jumping lessons and shows with him and he taught me a great deal.

FormaHoof

What made you choose your discipline?

Lennard

I was born into a show jumping family, being a third Generation equestrian. So it was clear that I would later become a showjumper.

FormaHoof

Who is or was your horse of a lifetime?

Lennard

My horse of a lifetime is definitely Ludwigs Girl. She is a brave mare with a lot of jump and has taught me how to be competitive at a high level.

Lennard

For sure is it my win in the 1,40 m Class at the riding club of my home area.

FormaHoof

Describe yourself in 3 words

Lennard

Athletic, relaxed, diligent.

FormaHoof

If you weren’t riding, what would you do with all your time?

Lennard

Honestly I have no idea, because riding is my life after work!

FormaHoof

How did you come to FormaHoof and how do your horses benefit from FormaHoof?

Lennard

I came to FormaHoof through my Farrier Aletia. Chira has very poor hoof quality and we were really struggling with her feet. Aletia said to me that there is another way to improve the quality of her hooves and showed me FormaHoof. It definitely looked like it would be worth a try with her and we are delighted with the results so far.
