Nadine Capellmann's Hanoverian gelding Bouton will be competed in the future by the 17-year old Fabienne Lutkemeier. For many years, the now 12-year old Bouton competed in the international small tour and only recently made the transition to Grand Prix level.
Fabienne is Nadine's godchild and is a daughter of Gina Capellmann-Lutkemeier.
"Fabienne will be competing Bouton at FEI Junior Riders level and will get experience in the Junior and Young riders tour with him. At home they can practise the Grand Prix movements," Nadine Capellmann said. "I hope the two will become a combination soon and I wish them much luck and success."
The chestnut gelding Bouton is by Borneo out of a Weltmeyer dam and is bred by Mr. Möller from Klein Malchau, Germany (father of Dr. Ulf Möller). In 1997, Eva Nolden-Möller won the Hanoverian Championships for 3-year old riding horses and the Bundeschampionate aboard Bouton. Bouton was then sold to Capellmann who trained him to FEI level together with Klaus Balkenhol.
