My
Ties to the Soers by Bonnie Rombach
In 1957 I joined the Hoofers Riding Club as a student at the
University of Wisconsin, USA. A fellow Hoofer was a student from
Germany who wowed us with film of Hans Günter Winkler and Halla
winning the 1955 World Jumping Championship in the Soers.
Once out on my own I could no longer deny my first love. I bought an
airline ticket, packed my bags, and told my family "I'll be
back." The Landes Reit-u. Fahrschule in Wuelfrath, Rhineland near
Dusseldorf under the tutelage of Albert Brandl was where I landed. The
next few years were filled with intense learning and wonderful
friendships. more

About
Bonnie Rombach |
These
days (approaching senior citizenhood), when I contemplate what I
have done, where I have been, or who I am, the phrase
"equine lurker" comes to mind. I was bitten by the
"equus virus" while having my first pony ride as a
four year old. I never found a cure. My first job was at a
riding stable. My first major purchase (at 12) with money earned
working at the local riding stable was a horse. At 18 I helped a friend organize a local
horse show. After graduation from the University of Wisconsin in
math education, my first acquisition was a horse (not a car).
Going to Europe to continue my equestrian education seemed to be
my destiny. Just a few "Lurking" highlights:
-
Spanish Riding School under Alois Podhajsky - observed morning
schooling;
- First
Trakehner Auction in Germany after WWII held in Wuelfrath,
Rheinland - braided the
horses;
- First
postwar branding of warmbloods in the Rheinland - held the
mare;
- Dressage
highlights
attended at CHIO Aachen - St. Cyr’s retirement, Klimke’s
first European Championship win, Petrushkova and Pepel’s
World Championship win;
- First
Equitana in Essen, Germany - brought imported Polish warmbloods;
- First
all dressage show at McCormick Place in Chicago - judged the
lower classes;
- 1986 World
Dressage Championships in Cedar Valley, Ontario, Canada - bookkeeper;
- Royal
Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto - horse show clerk and head of data entry;
- Aachen-Laurensberger
Rennverein (producer of the Aachen CHIO) - translator of the
1998 Centennial Chronicle;
-
Aachen's bid for the FEI World Equestrian Games 2006 -
translator of the Bid Book.
In
my 20’s I spent 3 1/2 wonderful years at the state riding
school in Wuelfrath, Rheinland under Albert Brandl, married a
German professional trainer, produced two great children, taught
hundreds of young riders, and bred scores of nice sport horses
both in Germany and Canada.
These are
some of the experiences that I would like to share with other
infected persons who perhaps have not had the same opportunities
or just not yet lived enough years.
