Monica Theodorescu, German Team Coach talks about training, and winning:<\/h1>\n

\u201cI think we Germans have a lot of the best riders, and again there is no secret, it is just correct training and riding.”<\/h1>\n

Monica the competitor with Ganimedes. Georg Theodorescu, Monica’s late father, described him as a black panther..<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“For me there is no ‘modern’ or ‘classical’ riding, there is good or bad riding, correct riding. That’s what I try to tell everybody, don’t go crazy, we had that and it didn’t work. One of the many things my father said was \u2018every exaggeration is wrong\u2019 –\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0that I use as a principle, it’s probably for life also, but for sure it is true for the horses. Leaving them in the field and riding long and deep doesn’t get you anywhere, but also asking too much, too hard training, that is absolutely wrong.”<\/p>\n
