The Werndl family have added a new FEI horse to their collection after acquiring Uta Graf's small tour ride Quick Decision.
The chestnut is an 8-year old Hanoverian gelding by Quaterhall out of Ronja H (by Rotspon x Lauries Crusador xx). He is bred by Blanka Heier.
Martin Schaudt and Roxana Mohr
The striking chestnut has moved yards quite a few times as a youngster.
He was first owned by with Martin and Jasmin Schaudt and purchased at their yard by Annette Göbelsmann-Schweitzer alongside a second horse, the now 9-year old Hanoverian Diallo (by Dancier x Floriscount).
The ride was allocated to Roxana Mohr, who trained with Uta Gräf at the time and rode her first Grand Prix test on Uta's Dandelion (owned by Annette). Mohr went independent at Fröhnerhof in Mehlingen, Germany, and Göbelsmann-Schweitzer followed her with her horses.
Roxy made her show debut on Quick Decision in April 2021 and qualified for the 2021 Bundeschampionate, where they placed 9th in the 5-year old finals. At the same time Mohr also rode Annette's Westfalian mare Bonne Jument (by Belissimo M x De Niro) and this horse enabled Mohr to have her international show debut at amateur level at the 2021 CDI Deauville.
Roxana competed Quick Decision through the spring of 2022 including in the 6-year tests at the CDI Wiesbaden She quit as a professional rider and is now a real estate agent.
Uta Gräf
Uta premiered Quick Decision in February 2023 at S-level and rode the developing PSG horse tests in Darmstadt and Neu-Anspach. She showed him at several regional shows through 2024 to consolidate him at small tour level, winning five classes. They campaigned in the Nurnberger Burgpokal qualifier in Donaueschingen. Their last show was 20 October 2024.

Annette Göbelsmann-Schweitzer has now sold Quick Decision to the Werndl family, who also tried Dallio but he stayed with Uta Graf.
"I’m very excited to have him with us," Benjamin Werndl told Eurodressage. When asked what his plans for 2025 are, the 2022 German WEG team rider said, "to bring some great horses with amazing talent into the Grand Prix the next years. There are Dallenio, Birkhof‘s Zieta, Quick Decision, and Fosbury OLD. And a few more younger ones."
