Interview with Samantha L Clark (eventingnation.com)-Having achieved the nigh impossible feat of arriving in England with a sound horse ready to run for his life at the historic Badminton CCI****, Colleen and Shiraz are now twiddling their thumbs upon it’s cancellation, and after much deliberation have decided to stay in England and reroute to the Luhmuhlen CCI**** in Germany in June. I was delighted to catch up with her at Aston le Walls.

Luhmühlen Horse Trials-The Luhmühlen Horse Trials are an annual equestrian eventing competition held in Luhmühlen, Salzhausen, Germany. Riders compete at the highest level: the CCI****. There are only six events of this kind in the world, the others being the Badminton Horse Trials, the Burghley Horse Trials, the Rolex Kentucky Three Day, the Australian International Three Day Event and the Stars of Pau. Luhmühlen originally held CCI** and CCI*** events. The CCI**** event was first held in 2005, making it the first event in mainland Europe to hold an eventing competition at that level. Luhmühlen follows the new format, “without steeplechase.” http://www.luhmuehlen.de/
