One of Germany's talented Grand Prix horses, the 10-year old Hanoverian gelding Weinrausch, has been sold to Sissy Max-Theurer. Millionaire and former Olympic gold medallist Sissy Max-Theurer
has been purchasing a legion of top artillery dressage horses at German sport horse auctions and private farms. Weinrausch is claimed to be sold for 1.5 million Euro's. Madeleine Winter-Schulze had also expressed her interest in Weinrausch as mount for Isabell Werth, but considered him too expensive.
Her latest addition is Weinrausch, a bay Hanoverian by Walt Disney x Darling and formerly trained and shown by Insa Hansen, who is Ullrich Kasselmann's chief stable rider. In 1996, the gelding got sold for 900,000 Deutsch Marks at the P.S.I Auction. Previously owned by Dr Friedrich Landwehremann, Weinrausch was trained to Grand Prix by Jean Bemelmans, Klaus Martin Rath and Dieter Laugks. Laugks became the 2002 German reserve champion for professional dressage riders.
Insa Hansen competed the horse later on, but now has to give the ride to an Austrian star. Destined rider for Weinrausch is of course Sissy's daughter Victoria. The 17-year old Victoria is already the vice junior rider champion of Europe with her Oldenburg Falcao
