German Grand Prix rider Anke Unger has joined Gut Schwalmbruch as operations manager to strengthen the management team and dressage training programme.
The Gut Schwalmbruch Training and Equestrian Centre is situated in the Schwalm-Nette Nature Park, right on the Dutch border near Mönchengladbach.
Five Pillars with an Expert Team
The five pillars – show jumping and dressage sport, horse breeding, horse training and events – are realised thanks to a wealth of experience and a motivated team. Thomas Grimm and Anke Unger shoulder the jumper and dressage department.
Thomas Grimm has been the cornerstone of show jumping at Gut Schwalmbruch for many years. In show jumping training, he successfully develops horses up to the advanced S*** level. His support is also in high demand as a trainer.
"She brings a high standard of quality to the training of horses and young up-and-coming riders at Gut Schwalmbruch," Klaus Viehof stated.
